Boost Sales with PayPal Buyer Credit
Are you selling higher-priced items on Ebay, AND want to attract more buyers despite the tag price?
This is good news for Ebay Buyers and Ebay Sellers alike, if you're not still aware of it.
I just got reminded by Ebay of PayPal Buyer Credit, dubbed as "an easy way to attract more buyers and boost your sales on your higher-priced eBay listings."
Through February 28, 2005, qualified sellers can save up to 100% on promotional financing fees.
How does it work?
"PayPal Buyer Credit is a personal line of credit exclusively for PayPal members. It lets buyers make low monthly payments on their PayPal purchases, making higher-priced items more affordable. For sellers, PayPal Buyer Credit allows you to attract more buyers to your higher-priced items by promoting your items in the form of low monthly payments, or by allowing you to offer promotional financing (if you currently offer PayPal Buyer Protection on your eBay listings).
