Tell everyone about OZtion

Tell your customers, It's good for business!
Think of your OZtion listings as another shop you own. If you owned a shop and expanded and opened another shop, you're going to tell everyone about your new shop, right? Selling on OZtion will save you costs, so it makes sense to tell your buyers to shop on OZtion first.

Tell Your Customers

 

Receive sales from new and old customers!
Other sellers are telling their customers about their OZtion listings, just like you are. Competition is healthy and attracts more buyers, so don't wait another day, tell your customers today! We all know that shopping centre shops generally do better than street shops due to the passing trade; well it's no different on OZtion.

  • Offer 'Proof of Delivery' and or 'Insured' postage

  • Charge a reasonable postage cost
    Buyers do not like to pay higher than actual postage costs. 96% of buyers surveyed said they would prefer to purchase items with a higher final price and less postage, than a low final price and expensive postage. Estimate the postage costs by packing the item and taking down the measurements and weight. See our Postage Advice page for more information.


  • Offer safe payment methods
    Ensure that you offer at least one 'safe' payment method for the buyer (Paymate, PayPal, C.O.D and Credit Card are considered safe). 58% of buyers surveyed said they preferred to pay with a secure payment method such as PayPal, Paymate or C.O.D.


  • Write a descriptive title - Use key words that people are likely to search for.


  • Include good quality photos - A picture is worth a thousand words, try to include 3 good pictures.


  • Write a detailed description - Let the buyer know the condition, brand, model, colour, size, style, dimensions, specifications etc.


  • Offer as many payment methods as possible - Don't restrict the buyer to only one payment method.


  • Increase your listings - We all know the saying "safety in numbers, law of averages", in definition, the more you have listed the more you will sell.


  • Know what your competitors are doing - It's good business practice to keep an eye on your competitors to keep up-to-date with pricing, postage, services offered etc. so that you have just as much opportunity to sell a similar item.
