Once Your Store is Set Up
Yoobos facilitates the process of selling online. We put buyers in touch with sellers and vice versa. So you've set up your store and you're starting to sell. It's easy:
Notification emails (and text messages if SMS option is chosen) – We will automatically send you and email (or text message) whenever a buyer (or potential buyer) is trying to
contact you about one of your items. Examples as follows:
- An item is sold – We will send you an email letting you know that a purchase has been made from your store. This email will contain details of the purchase including the buyer's contact details so that you may complete the transaction directly.
- An offer is made on one of your items – If you have chosen to accept "offers" on certain items we will send you an email letting you know what the offer is. You may choose to accept or decline the offer. We will send an email back to the buyer on your behalf letting them know your decision. If you choose to accept the offer we will send you a purchase confirmation email containing details of the purchase including the buyer's contact details so that you may complete the transaction directly.
-
A question is asked – We will send you an email when a potential buyer asks a question about one of your items. You may respond to the question and choose to make your response "public" (display on the item) or "private" (respond just to that buyer)
At the end of the rental period – There is NO lengthy contract or cancellation fee. Towards the end of the 30 day rental period (3-4 days before you store is due to expire), we will send you a reminder email asking you whether or not you wish to renew your store:
- If you choose to renew – Simply follow the on screen instructions to renew your store. We will send you a confirmation email for your records and remove any items marked as "SOLD". This will create space on your store should you wish to add more items.
- If you choose NOT to renew – Just ignore the email. Your store will expire as planned at the end of the rental period, at which point it will not be visible on the site. We will keep your expired store record for an extra 30 days should you change your mind. This will save you having to set it up again.
Small Retailers
Yoobos is ideal for existing small businesses looking for an easy way to build an online presence and significantly boost your sales. Yoobos offers a simple start up option for selling online that is completely risk free. Store rental is FREE, we will NOT charge you commission on your sales and you will not be asked to enter into any lengthy contracts. Why not give our online marketplace a try, what have you got to lose?
Wholesalers (and manufacturers)
Yoobos offers an excellent service for wholesalers (or manufacturers) looking to sell off overstocks or end of line items. Your store can be your FREE wholesale factory outlet. The Yoobos online marketplace will enable you to get in touch with potential customers across the globe.
eBay Powersellers
There has been a lot said recently about how eBay powersellers are becoming more and more frustrated with eBay charges. We're not trying to take the place of eBay (we don't think any site could). However, we do think eBay powersellers deserve a choice when selling online. Remember unlike eBay and the many "eBay clones" that seem to spring up daily, Yoobos is not an auction site, think of it more as an online marketplace. It is completely FREE to list on Yoobos and we will NOT charge you commission on your sales (which we know can prove costly). Why not give Yoobos a try? Not instead of eBay, but as well as eBay.
Individual Sellers
Whether you're looking to de-clutter your home or trying to earn some extra cash, Yoobos is the place for you. Originally we launched as an online "bootsale" (car bootsales are popular in the UK), but when we took a good look at bootsales and why people do them we realised it is as much about fun and meeting new people as it is about selling your stuff. That's great but you still need to make the sales to make it financially worth your while. Why not try out our online marketplace for all your bootsale, yard sale or garage sale needs. It completely FREE so you have nothing to lose but the time it takes you set up your store
