Multi-Channel Selling Tools

I thought I would share one of the tools that I use to sell across multiple channels. Feel free to add other tools and tips to the thread. I've been using a company called Sellbrite for about 2 years, and have been extremely pleased. it's a subscription service, but worth every penny in my opinion. The key feature of the platform is that you can list the same item in multiple channels at the same time . Since most of us have limited quantities of retired sets, the more listing views across venues, the more likely you are to sell the item. Sellbrite interfaces with Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Sears, Walmart (beta), and Jet (coming soon) Marketplaces. They also interface with Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and Woo, which are ecommerce platforms for creating your own site (I use BigCommerce for constructibles.net). They also integrate with Etsy (we sell some crafty Lego stuff too), but that's probably of less interest here. Sellbrite is the "hub" where you can import all of your listings and link them to products. When an item sells in one marketplace, the quantity is automatically updated in all other channels. Its very easy to take existing listings on one channel and push the inventory to another channel, which saves significant time in creating individual listings. Another great feature, which many here might find interesting is full support for FBA. You can track your FBA inventory as well as any local inventory that you don't want to send into FBA. The coolest part about this is that you can sell an FBA item on eBay or any other channel , and have Amazon ship it to your customer! So if you have limited stock, you are not committed to Amazon as a single channel if you send the stock into their warehouse. They have a shipping integration that I do not use because I had already created my own, but looks pretty robust if you do some or all of your own shipping. Of course there is also plenty of reporting, including some nice cross-channel sales summaries. If you are a serious reseller, I encourage you to check it out and try it. Here's the link: http://www.sellbrite.com/#_l_4e and they do have a 14-day free trial if you want to experiment with it. My integrations: BigCommerce (powering my own website, low traffic but no channel fees) Amazon/Amazon Canada/Amazon FBA eBay Etsy I've inquired about an open API so I could integrate with BrickLink/BrickOwl, but that has not happened yet. I would also happily list on BrickClassifieds if the Macks decide to add an API at some point in the future. I'm happy to answer any questions, either in the thread or by PM.
