Podcasting to Enhance Your eBay Auctions

By Michael Pollock in Podcasting

(Via To-Done)

Mark O’Neill is integrating podcasts into his ebay auctions.

“After discovering a great website for making audio files and RSS feeds, I am now offering audio descriptions of my eBay auctions and RSS feeds for people to keep up with my latest offerings. You may have heard of this concept by another name - podcasting …

“As well as catering to visually-impaired customers, you are also adding a human voice to your auctions, which could make buyers more inclined to trust you more.

“In each future recording, I am planning to add my own jingle and catchy tune as well as promote my other auctions. Consider it your own personal eBay radio station (move over Griff!). Why not start podcasting your own eBay broadcasts and publicize them on your eBay ‘About Me’ page?”

That would make for a nice case study. Anybody else out there doing this?

    Great idea; I’d be tempted to try this if I sold things on EBay.

    Yep - just started experimenting with a video podcast of larger items - here is a link to my auction that I voiced-over with a youtube inserted video:

    I have been thinking of using sound for my auctions but never got around to doing it. Podcasts I have never heard of on Ebay.
