Incase you haven’t already picked up on this, eBay are shortly set to Close eBay Express in the UK (www.ebayexpress.co.uk), and shift their main focus back onto the core site eBay.co.uk.

Based on feedback from our buyers and sellers, we’ve taken the decision to close eBay Express in the UK (www.ebayexpress.co.uk), and focus our efforts on the main eBay.co.uk site.

Many of the innovations pioneered on eBay Express have been integrated into the main site, helping us bring more buyers to our sellers and providing buyers with a better experience.

eBay Express sellers have always been required to offer excellent levels of customer service. Recent changes on the main eBay.co.uk website mean sellers with a great track record should now enjoy better visibility and traffic.

eBay struggled getting traffic to eBay Express since they first opened their doors back in early 2006. Many of my clients, whose accounts I helped to run on a daily basis, were very exited when this news first came about, but unfortunately implementing this feature into each account resulting in zero sales for a majority of clients.

I’m sure most will agree this is a positive move. eBay Express may have failed in gaining traffic > delivering paid orders, but it has played a large part in rolling out new developments and functionality - A lot of which we can now see on the main eBay site.
