There are certain circumstances when you may not require a template for your online store. It completely depends on the products, buyers & demand whether you need one or not.

Though whatever the situation be, it is highly recommended to have design templates so that you can perform better and get sufficient returns from investments.

Here we will discuss various “I don’t need a custom eBay auction template” conditions and probable effects of not having one.

When you sell single items

There are products & categories that fall under terms like artifacts, rare, similar, less usage and many more to evaluate the use of product that a buyer is buying.

Let’s understand it with an example, say you are an art collector and having rare artifacts that you have listed on your auction template for art lovers. You have single pieces of each artifact; hence you can sell them without templates, because you don’t need to create complex category or campaign to sell them like other products.

Selling something that is rare and unique accompanies good price along with its own debacle like: Limited buyers, uncertain buying chances (they may or may not buy), less recognition of products & brand, low grade store quality (no designer templates) and much more.

Hence when you sell single items it is very difficult to establish visitors to your store and even more difficult when you don’t use templates.

When you have little or NO competition

Everybody likes having less or no competition situation. The entire buzz is to stay on top of all competition; sellers try hard to promote and sell their items by all means. But when you know that competition do not exist you get relaxed and care less for things that are a matter of survival for others online.

Less demand of the product might be probable reason for less competition out of several factors responsible for minimum competition. If it is so then demand shall affect sales figures and might tend to shut down your store ultimately affecting the revenue.

Sometimes competition is good for your business health.

When you have Budget Problem

Budget is the main constrain of every business. Here budget problem is addressed to low budget. Having low budget is not a big issue, but when you have only 50 to 100 dollar for setting up a store, the listing fee will itself consume all these. So, £50 or £100 doesn’t make a fair budget, at least you need to have a few hundred dollars to start up an eBay store so that you can sustain a long time even if there are no sales.

A few hundred dollars can kick start your business but to keep sales incoming you need to invest a little more in beautification of the store to attract buyers, which is possible through a designer template. We saw that small budget has its own pros & cons.

Hence, we discussed certain exceptions where you may not need a template, but simultaneously we also referred the negative impacts of the same.

Even though with all the above situations some basic designing services are suggested to get started with fair amount of sales to fetch initial investments made.
