An Alternative to eBay

If you are currently selling on Ebay, our puresilva e-commerce website solution is an ideal introduction to selling online with your own website. Advantages of our e-commerce solution for those now selling on Ebay:-

  • professional web design; your products will be seen in the best possible light
  • when you are selling on ebay, you incur a number of variable costs - we have a very simple pricing policy that enables you to easily calculate your bottom line - your profit margin
  • selling on ebay is difficult in terms of standing out from your competition - we can give you a professional, unique online presence (compared to your competitors)
  • ultimately selling on ebay means you are under the control of e-bay's costs and regulations. Changes beyond your control can affect your profit margins.
  • selling on ebay doesn't give you any opportunity to upgrade the online shop you are given - puresilva is constantly evolving and you can always choose to upgrade to a bespoke version at any time (if you have purchased the templated version originally)
  • selling on ebay means you are under the control of how successful ebay is; with the puresilva website solution, you control your own popularity and success 100% - our software is finely tuned to make sure your products get good search engine rankings, augmented with our unique link exchange resource directory to allow visitors to your site to link to you, without you lifting a finger - raising your rankings in the search engines at the same time.
  • there is room for business growth with puresilva - you can expand into a successful online business with your own bespoke website using puresilva's software (from template > bespoke) - without the risk of investing thousands of pounds upfront as you would have to do with other web design agencies offering bespoke website design.

Even if you want to keep selling on eBay, we can offer you a second revenue stream with an e-commerce website - without the expense of web design fees, or hosting commitments.

'Make an Offer' Facility

This facility allows your website visitors to interact with your site and enter a price that they'd be willing to pay for a particular product (and quantity of product).

For example, if you sell a t-shirt for £10, a website visitor can make an offer for £9 for the t-shirt. This offer is then sent as an email to the website administrator. They can choose to accept or reject this offer. If an offer is accepted, the person who made the offer receives an email stating that the offer has been accepted, and they can easily pay for the item at the offer price by clicking a link within the email. Each offer (if accepted) expires after 4 days.

The website owner has the chance to make a counter-offer, and can reply back with an amended price if they feel the original offer price is too low (no different to haggling in a market!). This is sent as an automated email - the site owner just needs to alter the price in the backoffice, and click "Send".

This facility is purely optional and is automatically disabled as a default setting. The site administrator can choose to select individual items that can be offered on, or could choose to put all his or her items on offer (one click of a button).
