Yes it is! And I'm going to talk about one of the most under used features on eBay - the classified ad.
While the classified ad format has been around for a while on eBay, it has only recently began to attract attention due to the amount of people starting to use it to its full potential, and making money from it.
eBay admits that classified ads are great for lead generation, so you might as well take advantage of it.
For the small fee of $9.95 for an ad that runs for 30 days on one of the most visited sites online. While at first glance that might seem a high price, it roughly works out to less than 0.35 cents per day.
eBay currently is the fourth most visited site on the internet with billions of people visiting every month. Even if you could only grab a handful of that traffic you could potentially make a lot of money.
Grabbing that sort of traffic means that you are going to have to grab the attention of the potential buyer, and what better way to do that is by using a sales page as your advertisement.
A great title is the first thing you will need to encourage people to click on your ad, backed up by a strong description to intice people to take action.
Whether that action is to buy your product, contact you for more information, or promote your website, the freedom of what you can do with classified ads on eBay means that it is all possible.
Writing an advertisement on eBay is much like writing a regular auction description with a few notable exceptions.
- One is that you are not actually selling anything, therefore you won't have a buy it now, or bid button on your listing.
- Secondly, you cannot give or receive feedback (which some might say is a good thing now!)
- Third, because the sales process happens outside of eBay, there is no final value listing fee.
What you can and cannot write or promote inside your ad has been debated for some months, but you can read eBay's full policy on classified ads at its website.

For people looking for an easy way to search for items and services, or to advertise them, classified ads may be your best option. With classified ads, you can list almost anything or search for whatever you are looking for. Online classified ads are the most convenient, easy and cheap way to search or list from wherever you are. If you find the right classified advertising website, you can even search and list for free.
Most people are familiar with traditional print classifieds. Most newspapers and even some magazines offer this service where you pay to have advertisements listed for a certain amount of time. Although this method has always been very popular, it can be expensive. Online classified ads have opened up a new method for reaching a huge amount of people or searching a vast array of items and services – and all from the comfort of your home. In fact, online classified ads can often provide these services for completely free and your ad can run for up to a month without any charges at all.
Another great reason to use online classifieds is the variety of things you can search for or advertise. Classifieds can help people find jobs, meet other people in their area, find local events and entertainment, search for clubs and organisations, and many other great resources all in one place and all for free. Online classifieds can help individuals list items they want to sell such as furniture, collectibles, vehicles, sports equipment, appliances etc. Classifieds can also be used to advertise services like cleaning, maintenance, gardening and other local services you may be searching for. Although online classifieds are through a website and therefore available to view all over the world; you can narrow down your search to your postcode and be confident that you are searching locally only.
Benefits of this local service go beyond finding items and services in your area. You can search your own postcode or other areas and find local events or clubs that you may be interested in.
Classified ads are a great way to easily advertise almost anything or search for whatever you may be looking for. With online classifieds, you can advertise for free knowing that your ad will be posted for much longer than a typical print classified and that you are getting much more exposure as well. People searching for items, services or local information can also search a large amount of local information for free. With this great, free classified ad service, why would you use anything else?
