Ebay Inventory Loading
Are you involved in a business that sells items via catalogues or the internet?
Do you want to see a step increase in your sales performance?
Then we may have some answers for you.
One solution, as so many online sellers have found, is to sell on retail sites which already have the infrastructure built for you ( shopping carts, searchable inventories ) and which
already have a brand name with far more pull than a small company could ever achieve. Sites such as Amazon, eBay and ABE books.
The problem is that these sites require data to be presented in their own unique format, and so most retailers advertise on one such site and stick with it, organising
their data in the way required for that particular site.
But the data required by the sites is similar; it just needs to be manipulated in the right way. This is where Ardis Systems comes in. We have twenty years experience of
migrating data between different operating systems ( Unix and WIndows XP ), different computer platforms ( Microvax to PC ), and latterly different retail
sites ( Amazon, eBay and ABE).
This is now honed so that we sell on four different platforms and convert data to all four formats in a few minutes each week. We sell 25% of our inventory every month;
a huge turnover in the secondhand book business and largely brought about because there are different buyers and different types of buyers on each site. Many eBay
customers never visit Amazon and vice versa, so if you target just one platform you are missing out on a huge number of potential customers.
Listing large numbers of items is very time consuming using the simple ebay online interface. Ebay provide a number of listing tools to help with this, but they are not that
easy to use, and there are problems with all of them.
We have had great success with File Exchange, and now use it to load all of our listings onto ebay. It is a free tool, and on cheap listing days we can load 3000+ items in a few minutes to take
advantage of the cheaper rates. This makes a huge difference to the profitability of our business. Not all businesses can use File Exchange as you have to be registered on
eBay for at least 90 days and have an average of 50 or more active listings per month for the last two months. For these businesses we can load the data into Turbo Lister
(another free tool supplied by ebay) which performs similar operations but takes longer.
We can help you load your entire inventory for bulk auctions or into your eBay Shop. The first time we did this, we sold 25% of our stock
in ten days as it was being presented to a completely new market. Once it's done, we can show you how to update it and run it yourself, or you can supply
the details to us and we will maintain it for you. Please contact us for more details.
