Customers love to buy uniquely designed customized products for personal uses and gifts. Amazon and Etsy allow their sellers to personalize items for the customers. But on Amazon, it is so tough to maintain a handsome profits for the sellers. On the other hand, Etsy is good for home made and craft products only.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"eBay Custom Program | How to Customize eBay Listing | Selling Personalised Products on eBay\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lol7rrQWrqQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But after Amazon, we can say that eBay and Walmart are the largest and well known online marketplaces. Though Walmart doesn&#8217;t have any customization feature, eBay introduced this customization feature recently for their customers. So, eBay has also engaged themselves with Amazon and Etsy in this race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a consequence, you can offer your eBay customers personalized items using a brand new feature called \u201cPersonalize\u201d. This will help both the sellers and customers. Sellers who do not have a brand registry can also sell on eBay. As eBay is much cheaper, customers can buy customized items easily and spontaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now as a seller, you may want to know how to list customized products or how to enable personalization options on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers can add their personalized text on the view item page of the seller\u2019s listings in certain categories which can then be sent to the seller along with the order. This gives <strong>eBay <\/strong>buyers an easy and intuitive way to communicate basic customization instructions to the sellers. Buyers can also discover personalized items easily by filtering in <strong>eBay <\/strong>search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new feature will add a text box on the view item page of your chosen listings. When a seller selects a listing to include personalized text, the personalization instructions will appear right next to the &#8220;<strong>Buy It Now<\/strong>&#8221; buttons for buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your buyers can input what they want to personalize and it will be sent to you using the message to seller option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Products\/Category is Available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personalized listings can be set up by using the Personalise option, just add the \u201c<strong>Personalise<\/strong>\u201d item-specific in your listings, and provide personalization instructions for your customers. You will also need to turn on the \u201c<strong>message to seller<\/strong>\u201d option within your <strong>eBay <\/strong>account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The option is currently available on <strong>eBay <\/strong>U.S. and U.K. within the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collectables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home &amp; Garden<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business &amp; Industrial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronics&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fashion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parts &amp; Accessories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifestyle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s show you the whole process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 01: <\/strong>To add personalization instructions to buyers go to the \u201c<strong>Revision page<\/strong>\u201d from the <strong>eBay <\/strong>backend and click on the \u201c<strong>Edit<\/strong>\u201d option for any of the items which can be personalized for buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/aWwixttZ5kLC6YVRt2YQaey5g0a6M3ivL0U7e9y5u-pRrqwSohO3sezWgh2M2b_8UYtYjlYyYOieSfrq9cbpHD2ZvK9genpIngN1o3lwV0V3gq6M8QnZ6UnO4mIwfS9QTru3X5UvjLtoPeF0oyW7knE\" width=\"1746\" height=\"690\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 02: <\/strong>In the item-specific section, you will see a new field for personalization named \u201c<strong>Personalize<\/strong>\u201d in the item-specific section.
