When we think of eBay, many of us think of people selling used items they no longer need. But eBay is so much more, offering many opportunities for medium and even small businesses to grow their sales quickly and simply.
eBay reported a 9% increase in sales for Q4 2017, and gross merchandise volume (GMV) was up 10%. 2017 total revenue was reported as $9.6 billion, representing a 7% increase.
eBay works with sellers of all sizes – from entrepreneurs to large enterprises – through its commitment to providing the resources and technologies sellers need to succeed. But sellers also need to manage orders, shipment information, and inventory in their own system to make sure all data is accurate.
Doing this manually wastes time and resources, but integrating eBay with SAP Business One makes order and inventory management a breeze. A simple solution is now also available for integration with Alluvia’s eBay and SAP Business One connector.
The eBay marketplace: What it has to offer
eBay currently boasts 170 million active buyers and over 390 downloads of its app. This translates to a massive number of potential customers. Viewing itself as a partner to sellers, eBay provides many resources, such as:
- Customized promotional tools to increase visibility
- Global Shipping Program (GSP) through which eBay handles international shipping for sellers on eligible items
- A Seller Hub where you can view and manage your eBay business
- New APIs that provide more options for advanced sellers looking to expand their business across multiple channels
You can also create your own eBay Store to increase visibility and take advantage of additional marketing and branding opportunities. Selling is made simple on eBay, and with a high volume of traffic via its website and mobile app, sellers have a lot to gain.
Maximize your eBay business with SAP Business One integration
Managing your inventory and tracking orders and shipments are necessary steps in running your eBay Store. Manually entering this data into SAP Business One for each sale is laborious, wasting time and resources.
Integrating eBay with SAP Business One allows you to spend this time on marketing and growing your business. SAP Business One integration means:
- No more manual data entry, removing data entry errors and saving time.
- Real-time inventory updates to make sure you only sell items that are in stock and available.
- Faster order fulfillment with an automated fulfillment process.
- Efficiencies in the workflow that reduce the time and cost associated with managing your eBay business.
