eBay offers professional e-mail marketing
I have been selling on eBay for years. In fact, I think I sell stuff there about five years now. It used to be much more profitable for me than it is now – more competition, the prices are lower. Yes, it is getting harder and harder to earn online…
The other day I was browsing eBay features for the ideas how to increase my sales when I stumbled upon email marketing option.
It is so easy to make a professional e-mail newsletter with eBay. You can set up automatic e-mails, say, to be sent every two weeks; to promote your newly listed or ending soon items, etc. Set up it once and forget about it – a great automaton option.
You still need subscribers, they should be opt-in (for example, they are offered to join your e-mail newsletter when they add your eBay store to ‘favorite stores’). You can read more about this eBay features:

Summary: I guess this feature is available for store owners only, but it is so cheap to run an eBay store that I think a large % of eBay sellers own one.
I am not sure if this is a feature that eBay introduced recently, probably there is nothing new about it, but it is a great feature that no doubt helps eBay sellers to be in contact with their customers and grow their sale – eBay searches ways to make up for regularly increasing their fees.
