A Look At Third Party Ebay Tools.

 

A Look At Third Party Ebay Tools.

There are a plethora of firms out there that provide third-party eBay software. Because most of them are web-based rather than downloaded, you must pay a monthly charge rather than purchasing the program outright. But are you aware of the benefits that these websites might provide you? It might be difficult to get a handle on what is available when utilising a search engine, so here is a brief review of the most important players.

Andale (http://www.andale.com) is a software development company.

As opposed to a single comprehensive solution, Andale provides a variety of tiny products: listers, picture hosting, counters, analysis tools, galleries, a checkout, and an email management are just some of the options you may choose from. Prices are a bit confusing, but they are affordable as long as you don't go overboard and use every feature available.

Rather than being a fly-by-night operation, Andale's true claim to fame is that they've been doing it for so long. Many eBay sellers have been utilizing their free counters for years on end. Their customer service is also well regarded, and they will frequently interact with you directly on their forums and include any recommendations you may have for enhancing their product into the final version of their software.

Vendio (http://www.vendio.com) is a web-based application.

A Merchandising version and an Inventory edition are available from Vendio for their sales management software, Sales Manager. While the Merchandising version was created to make it simpler for sellers who sell a single item, the Inventory edition was created to make it easier for sellers who sell multiples of the same item. Ten cents per auction is the fee they charge for pay-as-you-go service.

There's also software available called Tickets Manager, which is designed specifically for those who sell a large number of tickets on eBay. It's an unusual thing to have, but it's beneficial if you happen to sell tickets. Additionally, Vendio provides web and picture hosting, elegant Flash galleries of your items to be used in conjunction with your listings, and online storefronts.

ChannelAdvisor (http://www.channeladvisor.com) is a software company.

ChannelAdvisor offers three different versions of their software: Enterprise, Merchant, and Professional. Enterprise and Merchant, on the other hand, are both intended for really large organizations, and the chances are that the Pro version will meet all of your needs. ChannelAdvisor is popular among sellers who seek a solution that they are confident is being utilized and trusted on a wide scale by enterprise-level clients, such as those using Salesforce.

It includes all of the usual bulk listing and inventory functions, as well as the unique capability of creating auctions directly from an Excel spreadsheet containing your inventory. It is completely free. The fee, however, is too expensive at $29.95 a month.

And there are many, many more.

It is possible to look through a comprehensive list of third-party software on eBay at any moment you have a few spare minutes.
