Discount Kids Vs Ebay

Why we think Discount Kids is much better than online auctions for selling items for kids.

We will use Ebay as an example because that is the best known auction site.

The Listing Cost
Let's take an item costing just £5 and list it at Ebay for 7 days, what will that cost?  Listing Fee will be 35p here at discount kids you can list for free

Time To Sell the Item
Again using the above example for 35p you will get a maximum of 10 days then your listing has gone sold or not. At Discount kids you could list the same item for 12 weeks without paying a penny. This gives you much more time to sell your item.

No Commission
We don't know if you have ever stopped to work this out but to make it easy let's say you sell a £10 item on Ebay and you used the same buy it now feature we offer. Here are your costs based on a 7 day listing  with two extra images .

35p   Listing Fee
20p   Buy It Now Fee
24p   For Extra Images
53p   Commission On Sale
54p   Paypal Fee

Total :  £1.86

That's nearly 20% in stoppages! A real auction only charge 10 - 15% commission. The same listing at Discount Kids for selling a £10 item would be:

Paypal fee :  0.54 (paypal not us)

Less than one third of the cost, much better.

Get The Price You Want
How many times have you listed an item on an online auction and got nowhere near what you wanted for it?? Not at Discount Kids, here you simply specify what you want for each item and the viewer either wants it or they don't. As long as you are reasonable with your prices there is no reason you shouldn't be able to sell any children related items.

Targeted Buyers
People who visit this site are here for one thing, to buy something for their kids. They will not be distracted by some other item as they browse.

No Waiting For Your Buyers
If someone likes what you have to offer they can just buy it ! No waiting for an auction to finish, no being outbid at the last minute by someone else. Don't underestimate the power of impulse buying.

Why We Think Discount Kids Is Better Than Ebay For Buying

For all these reasons:

No Postage Scams
Because our sellers are asking what they want for an item they have no need to inflate the postage and packing to make extra profit. More than that we simply DO NOT ALLOW THAT HERE!  If a buyer is reported for having excessive postage and packing we can and will suspend their listing unless they are prepared to adjust the postage costs.

No Waiting For Auctions To End
At Discount Kids if you see something you want for your kids you just buy it. No waiting for auctions to end and no getting stressed out in the last few minutes in case someone out bids you.

It's Just For Kids
Because our site is dedicated to children related items we have much better organised categories which are very easy to navigate to find what you need for your little one.
