Skin Care and Anti-Wrinkle Surgery Options

With the recent constraints eBay has placed on products delivered electronically, sellers are becoming more creative in how they market their services or items that might otherwise be a lousy fit or eBay.

Take the anti-aging skin care industry, for example. It's a $60 billion per year gold mine, with creams and medical procedures raking in the money from people trying to cling to their youth. Outside of eBay, you can find it all: get a tummy tuck in dallas, a New York City facelift, a treatment of Botox in California, or a New Mexico plastic surgery procedure. Going under the knife as a short-cut from other "fountain of youth" options is hugely popular among our aging generation.

Well if as an eBay seller that were your target market, you could offer - for example - an auction for a $1000 discount coupon on a "facial rejuvenation" procedure. Details could be made available at a non-hyperlinked website included in the eBay listing. The winning bidder might pay $2.00 for that coupon which would then be delivered for next-to-nothing through a preferred carrier.

So you will not see too many "nose jobs" offered directly on eBay. Options for medical care may be restricted anyway. But a coupon for the same from a professional medical organization? Pretty clever.
