Comments on: Use eBay not to sell, but to get leads http://www.cwire.org/2006/01/10/use-ebay-not-to-sell-but-to-get-leads/ Making A Living 100% Online Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:26:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: txblondsmom http://www.cwire.org/2006/01/10/use-ebay-not-to-sell-but-to-get-leads/#comment-48112 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:02:01 +0000 http://www.cwire.org/2006/01/10/use-ebay-not-to-sell-but-to-get-leads/#comment-48112 We operated a flooring/decor showroom a few years back. We ran an ebay auction ad for "one box of PERGO laminate flooring in White Oak color, yada, yada..." We never sold the one box but had many, many calls to purchase many, many boxes of flooring. The idea is to find a CATCH WORD OR PHRASE that is generic. At that time PERGO was to laminate flooring as COKE is to cola. Get the idea? Ebay still gets their listing fees but you generate business from your own little company link. We operated a flooring/decor showroom a few years back.

Could you offer any specifics about how you did this that doesn’t violate ebays policy. Please feel free to email me directly. also ebay doesn't allow account to be made from my country. Could I get around this some way? Thanks! Hi I am a web designer and I have often thought about using ebay. Could you offer any specifics about how you did this that doesn’t violate ebays policy.

What I'm saying is that you don't just have to use eBay to sell goods, and infact you don't have to sell anything on it at all! I used eBay quite a lot simply to advertise my design services.

I'm no expert on this, but I do know that Ebay does not allow affiliate links in your auction listings. This is a great idea but before anyone else trys this you should read Ebay’s rules first.
