Improving your eBay business with Multi-Venue Management

If you have an eBay business or are looking into starting an eBay business, there are many strategies to consider. This post is mainly about the debut of http://www.multivenuemanagement.com.

One of the most important decisions in regards to your business, is what software you choose. There are many choices out there and they all work for different types of business models. Remember to consider the initial cost and the future cost.

For instance, if the cost is 2% of sales OR $1000/month, remember that as your business grows, the percentage can be very high. Is there a listing fee? If you're doing thousands of listings with a smaller sell through rate, then a per listing fee may not be optimal for you. Remember to add up all of your fees over a year, keeping in mind how much your costs will rise as your business grows.

Also, one of the most important considerations is if the software company you choose has the support staff and online help that will assist you properly.

Ok, so back to Multi-Venue Management.

There is a new website out (from Sell Center) that has an eBay Business Analysis Quiz. It's not really a quiz... there is no grade but it will ask some questions about your eBay business.

After the quiz analyzes your answers, you get some great answers that can steer you in the right direction. We're not constantly selling Laris either, every link is to a list of multiple software opportunities.

Check out the site : http://www.multivenuemanagement.com

Also, after the quiz, there is an eBook for sale. It's a 45 page eBook about various multi-venue management strategies. Take a look.

Thanks for checking out the blog. I know this post wasn't about Shopping Comparison Sites directly; however, properly managing comparison site feeds is a huge part of multi-venue management. See how well you're using MVM and check out the site.
