ebay_facebook_2_120938436589_640x360With the use of Facebook fan pages, individuals can now promote their company in a single page that they can manage while representing their services.

A decent Facebook account is an excellent ground for Facebook advertising. In setting up a Facebook page, it is more advisable to use your business or company name and make sure the business category it belongs is suitable.  You may post information such as your company’s e-mail address, location, and contact numbers.

After establishing the identity of your account, you may now continue in linking your Facebook page with your eBay account. However, it requires the necessary administrator privileges of the individual Facebook account to be able to link such sites. The “Request for Permission” screen that appears should say that it should link to Facebook as the page, not as the individual user account.

The easiest way to boost your sales is by tagging your products to your page’s followers – those individual user accounts that “like” your Facebook page.  Tagging friends will allow other Facebook users to view your page’s eBay products through your friends’ wall, depending on your friends’ privacy setting.  Tagging people within your friend network can be done with ease; however, they are also dependent on privacy settings. You can also promote your page by linking your page directly to your friends’ wall. In this way, the page may be able to generate “likes” from other people. The more “likes,” the more activity your page will have, and more people will be able to be updated whenever you post something new.

Another way in linking your Facebook page and eBay account is by using the official eBay application on Facebook. Compared to other eBay-linking applications, the official app makes it easy for anyone to seamlessly link both sites.

Other third-party applications can also link eBay to your social media accounts. A gift service called “Real Gifts” (only available to a few U.S. states) allows Facebook users to buy and send items or gifts hosted on eBay to their friends. Users may link their friends’ birthday or other special events so that they can plan ahead before purchasing their gifts.
