How can brands selling bikes increase conversions?
As an eBay newbie brand seller, I have been waiting anxiously for new orders after uploading my listing.
I've been optimising my listing title, images, and product descriptions, but I've been getting intermittent views and even no conversions.
I would like to ask if there are any ebay branded sellers of bicycles who can give me some advice.
I'm all ears. ðŸ“🥺
I can't disclose information about the product because I'm contracted for work. I'm sorry about that. ðŸ˜

What are "conversions" in this context?
And evidently you sell under a different ID?

·7 months agoI assume that means "sales." I understand "conversions" to mean "converting prospects into buyers."

OP7 months agoYes, thank you very much for the explanation.
I'm actually not quite able to fully articulate the words that would be more understandable to you guys. I'm sorry. ðŸ˜

Free shipping is tempting, but how do your bikes stand out from the rest?

·7 months agoGiven the fact, as others have mentioned, that WalMart offers quite a good assortment of bikes, and that there are local bike shops offering all the better brands for serious bikers, even if a Chinese seller offers free delivery, what would make a buyer purchase from China vs locally? The hassle of returning an item not as described to China would turn me off as well.
You have nothing listed for sale under this ID. Why is that? "I can't disclose information about the product because I' m contracted for work." Secret bikes?

OP7 months agoThank you for your reply! Your point is also correct. There are indeed local shops and platforms with a wider variety of categories that would better meet the shopping needs of enthusiasts.
But I've changed some of my original thoughts from your responses, and it's great to get a response from you; it's a real lifesaver.
Some Chinese sellers choose to ship their products to US warehouses, where the warehouses then send them to buyers via carriers.
If the buyer needs to return the product, they just need to return it to the local warehouse.
And because the local warehouse will centrally store the returned product and then wait for the merchant to notify them of the return's disposition. (Possibly by removing the parts and selling them separately, or by giving them to a repair team to fix, refurbish, and resell, etc.)
You also pointed out that for ebikes or bikes that need to be assembled, returning them is indeed a hassle.
It's a lot of work to disassemble and repack, even more so if you've lost the original box by then, and you even have to find your own cardboard box to pack it in. And it's not cheap to get such a big box. I don't think many people have such a big box at home, do they?
About my ID. Since this is not the shop account of the seller I'm using, so you can see these are nothing on sale on my account. Actually, it's my personal account.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. 😊â¤

·7 months agoWhat is a "ebay branded seller"?

OP7 months agoI think the best explanation Brand seller is one who only sells products of one brand.
I am not sure if this is the right interpretation. Please forgive me if I have interpreted it incorrectly. 😥🌼

·7 months agoYou are selling bikes from China?
I don’t think there are any branded bike sellers around here.

OP7 months agoThank you for asking! I thought for the first time I'd post that not many people would reply.😊🌼
Not gonna lie, yes, these are bikes made in China.
Then they are centrally stocked in warehouses in the eastern/western US and sold to US buyers.
I can't really comment on the bike or ebike market, but a lot of the brands I know on the market, such as Heybike, Aipas, etc., have factories in China.

·7 months agoI think the main reason, in all seriousness, might be that if I want to buy a bicycle from China (where you are apparently registered), I can just go to Walmart. It would have to be a seriously excellent bicycle to make a buyer want to purchase it despite the cost of having it shipped to his home.

OP7 months agoThank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I thought the post wouldn't get a kind reply so quickly. 😊🌼
And you're right, Walmart has something very convenient about it, too.
But what if the merchant has marked free shipping on eBay?
Would it attract some buyers who are interested in that?
Wouldn't it be better to use bikes or parts (e.g., frames) rather than sell brand-new ones?
