Ebay Expands Classified Listings to New Categories

Posted on March 6, 2006

Auctionbytes.com reports that eBay has extended its classifieds service to several other categories including websites and business for sale, speciality services and travel. Ebay already had real estate classifieds.

eBay rolled out its Ad format beyond the real estate category, for which the feature has been available exclusively for years. The Ad format is similar to online classified listings in that there is no binding transaction involved. Sellers can post an ad for $9.95 for a 30-day listing; $19.90 for a 60-day listing; or $29.85 for a 90-day listing. The new categories in which Ad format is now available are Websites and Businesses for Sale; Trade Show Booths; Prefabricated Buildings; Travel; Specialty Services; and Everything Else.
Erik Rannala, a member of eBay's Product Marketing team, blogged about the classified expansion. eBay calls the classifieds Ad Format. The complete list of new Ad Format categories and fees can be found here on eBay's website.
