One of the main resources and methods of successful sellers is to use existing tools. Many companies have produced tools and software for Amazon and eBay sellers, and in this article we are going to introduce the best of these software and tools to you, so stay with us until the end.
Can I sell on both Amazon and eBay?
Before we start introducing the software, it is better to answer a common question. The answer to this question is “yes”, but it is better to be aware of its aspects and difficulties. Do you see yourself as capable of handling customer support on both platforms properly? Do you know the rules of each platform separately, so you don’t get into trouble? Can you manage the taxes of two platforms? If your answer to these questions is yes, you can advance your activity in both marketplaces at the same time, otherwise it is better to focus on one of the platforms.
Adding products on both platforms and changing product specifications on eBay and Amazon at the same time is time-consuming, and this can be considered another disadvantage of promoting two marketplaces at the same time, but there are software for this purpose. They are known as multichannel listing software. In the following, we will talk more about these software products.
