Whether you're starting a new home based eBay business or seeking a way to boost revenue for your current eBay business, you need products to sell AND a way to effectively manage these products and your online listings. Inventory Source has done the exhaustive work of finding you quality wholesale suppliers that you can work with directly, and has aggregated their product catalogs into a single source data base to simplify your multi-product inventory management.
Everyone that sells products on eBay needs to ask two questions:
1) What should I sell and where can I get these products?
2) How can I effectively manage my listings and inventory changes to provide the best customer experience?
Inventory Source, a leading data solution provider for eBay sellers, has the solutions that you need to respond to both of these questions. If you are an eBay seller, you know how difficult and time consuming purchasing, warehousing, packaging, and shipping the products that you sell through eBay can be each day. Like most business, you did not get into eBay selling and ecommerce to turn your home into a warehouse or spend time with invoices, pick slips, and checking inventory levels. You need products to sell, but you also need the tools to effectively list and update your listings on eBay, so that you can get back to the real reasons why you are running an eBay business: to make more money and have more time for the things you enjoy. By using drop shippers, you let someone else shoulder the burden of purchasing and storing your inventory. You avoid the need for upfront stock purchases until AFTER you have been paid by your customer. When you sell your product on eBay, the supplier will ship the products directly to the customers.
Opening a wholesale account with a supplier on your own is a simple process, and well worth the 10 minutes that you might spend to complete their reseller application. Inventory Source simplifies this process, by giving you the direct links to the account creation process and contact details for all of the suppliers in the Inventory Source Integrated Supplier Network. Once you have the products to sell and your supplier relationships established, you need to convert their data into the listing format for eBay; you need to change the prices to get your profit margins; and you need to upload your data. This can take days to complete for thousands of products, and by the time you are done with one day’s listings, it is time to recheck your price changes and quantity levels and review any other product details.
Inventory Source is able to help you avoid all of these issues with their eBay specific solutions. As a data solution provider for eBay and a member of the eBay Development Team, Inventory Source puts the tools you need in your control. Inventory Source can convert your supplier data into any format, such as eBay File Exchange, eBay Turbo Lister, and more to manage your auction listings. Inventory Source is also FULLY integrated with eBay ProStores, so feel free to checkout our listing in the eBay ProStores Solution Directory. With our eBay services, the data is not just formatted for instant upload, but also updated everyday with the latest details from your wholesale supplier sources. It is as if you have added a huge IT Department to help manage your eBay business!
November 2007
Charlotte, North Carolina- InventorySource.com and Amazon.com are two of the largest and most trusted names in the world of ecommerce, and November marks the first anniversary of Inventory Source’s formal inclusion in the Amazon Web Services Network. “Our services have been compatible with Amazon Marketplace and Amazon Seller Central for years, but any time you reach a formal anniversary, especially for being recognized as a solution provider for something as popular as the Amazon selling platforms, it still makes you look back at your accomplishments and efforts.”, said Andrew Ruppar, of the Business Development and Operations Team for Inventory Source.
According to latest news from Forrester Research, there will be 1.8 billion Internet users by 2008, and e-commerce revenues are projected to exceed $500 billion. Today, non-store retailers account for 75% of this on-line market.
The recent boom in the popularity of e-commerce has caused many people to research ways to start an Internet business to generate additional income or start a new career. “Besides providing our members with the research tools that they need, we help them to establish a trusted online brand by managing their virtual inventory for their Amazon listings”, said Andrew. “If one large volume Amazon Marketplace seller has no way of knowing which products are in-stock or which products have price changes from week to week, but the other Amazon seller has their inventory data managed directly across all of their listings each day, which seller do you think will win the repeat business?”
Amazon has a huge number of users looking to purchase products. The more products listed by a merchant, the more they are able to take advantage of the Amazon traffic volume. However, the more product inventory listed by an Amazon merchant, the harder it is for them to remain in control of their supply chain. With Inventory Source Data Services for Amazon Merchants, sellers are able to mange their listings and product details for thousands of products as easily as managing a single item. “Some wholesale product resellers describe navigating the issues of drop ship data management as if it is an untamable jungle.”, said Andrew. And, when users are trying to sell to such a vast and demanding user market as those on Amazon, “jungle” is an appropriate word. ”However, with the tools, features, support, and data services that we have been able to provide as a member of the Amazon Web Services Network, we are providing real value adding solutions to our members. We make selling simple.”
The Inventory Source Amazon Data Service Solutions are applicable to major sellers of wholesale drop ship products as well as novice home-based businesses. It will be interesting to see what another year brings for the InventorySource.com and Amazon.com web services and solutions.
