Using EBay Tools To Maximize Your Profit
There are many eBay tools available to you to help you sell your items better. This article is going to take a look as some of these eBay tools so that you have a better idea of what their function is and how they can best help you.
Simplified Explanation
EBay tools feature both desktop and web-based listing and sales management content designed to meet the needs of the top sellers. There are five basic eBay tools to choose from.
The first is My eBay. While not one of the more robust eBay tools you have at your fingertips, for the occasional and one time seller this is perfect. There is no additional cost to use My eBay to sell your product, but it also lacks the significant features of the more complicated tools.
Next up on the eBay tools tour is Turbo Lister. This free listing tools helps you create professional looking listings that you can upload and edit in bulk. This product features the ability to enter all of your item information offline so that you can upload it in one click. In addition you can set up templates that you can edit so that all of your items get updated simultaneously. You can also save multiple listings for different products so that you can vary your message if you so desire.
An eBay tool that works hand in hand with Turbo Lister is Selling Manager. Selling Manager allows you to track your eBay sales easily with little effort. This tool costs $4.99 a month or is free with your basic store subscription. You can use this tool to monitor active listings and generate bulk feedback. It also gives you the ability to print invoices and labels in bulk.
Next up are the eBay tool products from Blackthorne. Blackthorne has two programs designed to help you create and manage your eBay listings. The first is Blackthorne Basic and the second is Blackthorne Pro. The Pro version has all the features of Basic with some extra goodies added in. These programs both allow you to create and edit your listings in bulk. In addition they both include listing templates as well as the ability to automatically insert payment terms, shipping details and more. Neither of these programs is free so it is best to do some research before deciding what to go with. The Basic version supports around twenty five items a month very well while the Pro has reporting, inventory and multiple user profiles that are best taken advantage of by sellers doing more than that volume of business.
Hopefully this article has helped you to find the eBay tools you need to grow your business.
