Choosing between eBay and Lelong auction sites

Many friends have asked me why I have 2 sales sites in eBay and focus primarily in eBay and not Lelong.

Well if you really want to sell internationally, then it's best to just focus on eBay as once I have built up my reputation with the feedback scores, then it's easy to sell in Singapore, USA, UK and Australia.

So far, I have 100% feedback scores in both accounts with a high of 4.6 to 4.9 out of 5.0 in the Detailed Seller Ratings. These scores are important as it gives new buyers the confidence to deal with me

Also the reason I use 2 ebay accounts is this. I want to separate the items I want to sell. So supplements and watches can be found at www.kingkraal.com/ebay/ and books, clothing, electonic goods and soon some training VCDs can be found at www.kingkraal.com/ebay1/

I've just setup my first ebay store - http://stores.ebay.com.my/gshockwatches to test out the store features and by the positive results so far, I will be setting up more stores in 2009. just to focus on some key products selling online.

As for markets, I primarily sell to Malaysia as internet payments are free and easy. My next market to enter will be Singapore as I do have a local Singapore bank account, so payments can be received fast and with no clearing fees.

I'm new at ebay stores and would appreciate some advice on how I can improve my online store. I am also on the lookout to sell mobile phones online, when the right deal comes along.

Visit http://stores.ebay.com.my/gshockwatches for this Chinese New Year promotion - a free Travel Alarm PQ-65 worth RM99 with every purchase. This lunar year of the Ox, get your loved ones an original Baby-G, G-Shock, Sheen, Edifice, Protrek, Seapathfinder or Phys exclusive watch, made by Casio Japan.

Shoping online is safe, convenient, saves time and petrol, and you get the best prices, as online stores dont have high overheads. Just be careful the seller has a good feedback rating, so you don't get cheated.

Happy shopping online.
