Hi everyone, this may be long winded so please bear with me.
I have been selling on eBay exclusively for about 15 years, 5 years as a serious business with a store. We have managed to rent a warehuose, create a stock system, and get an excell spreadsheet together to manage inventory and costs. At almost 5,000 listings, I feel it's now time to spread out and start listing on other marketplaces to increase exposure. Here is where the problems begin.
I've looked into several inventory management software solutions, and it's been one thing or another that makes them not a good fit. Sellbrite can't create ASINs and doesn't sync with Quickbooks, and since we sell clothing that usually isn't in the Amazon catalog and use QB for accounting, that's a no. Ecomdash has a terrible listing module, and as well as I know eBay, I couldn't even get a listing to push through onto eBay, because the item specifics area is blank. I can fill this in myself of course, but I see that as being a time-suck more than anything, and I'm looking for a time-saver, so that's another no. Lastly there was Chanel Advisor, but the price on that one is way more than what we can afford at the moment. I don't think the volume we have is enough to justify that cost. There's several more that say they do this or that, but I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
The whole thing is starting to make my head spin. It's so overwhelming and confusing - I'm at a point where I feel like trying to do this was a mistake. What I need seems simple to me, but perhaps not. I would like a service that can manage inventory quantities across eBay, Amazon, and Walmart, and update quantities on the others when one sells. One that will allow me to create a listing that I can push out to the various marketplaces. I need it to be able to create ASINs. A plus would be that it syncs with Quickbooks, and an even better plus would be that I can sync orders and print shipping labels, with the commercial plus pricing.
I'm willing to pay a reasonable price, not looking for something for nothing. But it does need to be affordable given our volume, about 350 orders/month.
To any that sell on multiple marketplaces, can you offer some suggestions? What do you use that works well? Thanks in advance.
