SquidBids is an very cool new tool from Squdioo for eBay sellers. SquidBids allows sellers to create custom lenses to promote their eBay auctions and stores.

The process is quick and simple. This is an incredible and exciting new tool for eBay sellers.

ON the site http://www.squidoo.com/SquidBids/, BDKZ says: “SquidBids gives you the power to market your eBay auctions and store with a lens that you build. Simply by entering your eBay ID you can create a customizable lens in minutes. Add modules for photos, polls, links, and of course your eBay items to market your goods.

SquidBids Tips
Enter your eBay ID exactly as it appears. SquidBids is case-sensitive. Add photographs to your SquidBids lens. Show off what you have with a picture. Use the the Flickr or Text Modules for adding photos.

Create multiple SquidBids. Try to be specific in what you sell like Sock Monkey’s, Lampwork Beads or Baby Clothes. Make a lens for each catagory. You can then create a regular Squidoo lens or group and feature all of your SquidBids in one place for even more exposure.

Give buyers a reason to buy from “you”. Let them know that your items come from a smoke-free home, are shipped the next day or are packed with extra special care.

Show off your good feedback rating.

Let your customer’s add testimonials using a Text List Plexo or have them rate you with a Poll.

Sell eBay How-To books and products that compliment your eBay auction using the Amazon Module. For example if your sell Wilton Cake Pans on eBay set up an Amazon Module to sell other Wilton products. If you sell baby clothes set up an Amazon Module for crib bedding.

Show off your goods with a YouTube Video Module. Just think how effect a marketing tool it would be to have a video of the car, motorcycle or house that you are selling on eBay?
Offer your eBay store customers weekly incentives like free shipping, holiday specials or clearance merchandise. You can update your SquidBids lenses daily so encourage people to bookmark you for future savings events. This is a really great way to create a following for your store. When I ran my bead store my repeat customers were the most loyal.
Always add a guestbook so that people can leave you comment.”
