Shopping Cart Elite Marketplace module streamlined my eBay store. I didn't need to do any copying and pasting. I just exported the data file template to my desktop and used eBay's free Turbo Lister tool to create hundreds of active listings in hours instead of days!
Plus, all the Search Engine Optimized content that I created in Shopping Cart Elite is passed into my ad listings on eBay and Amazon. Think about it, the biggest online retail website (eBay and Amazon) plus fully Search Engine Optimized content, do I need to say more? My eBay and Amazon listing would dominate the Search Engines.
While ease of use is a wonderful feature, I also like that my eBay ad listings matches the brand image and appearance of my main website. Shopping Cart Elite exports the graphics directly from my site into the eBay ad listing. This gives my eBay buyers' confidence that they are purchasing from a business, and not an amateur basement seller. This is a huge advantage because eBay is very competitive and cut-throat, a professional looking ad communicates a feeling of trust to buyers which gives me an advantage over my competition selling the identical item.
In the first 60 days of use, my eBay traffic increased which turned into noticeably more sales. The all-inclusive Marketplace module within Shopping Cart Elite is a tremendous value considering that the alternatives out there cost thousands of Dollars more.
Google Marketplace module is also something to appreciate. The only thing you need to do in order to sell on Google Base is your Google Base credentials, and Shopping Cart Elite does the rest, literally. It will add, update and remove products into Google Base, while you are maintaining them on your website. I have used many Shopping Carts, and I have never seen this done before by any shopping cart provider.
I have never used Amazon before Shopping Cart Elite because I could never get my products listed without getting frustrated and giving up. Amazon listing tools are just so cumbersome and complicated! Shopping Cart Elite however solved my problem, with only 4 clicks of a button (literally 4 clicks) and all my products were listed on Amazon in minutes. Amazon does not charge listing fees, so it is was a no brainer for me to list my products in the biggest online marketplace without doing much work.
eBay: You've heard about selling on eBay, but you've probably never heard of a shopping cart that researches every part number against your competition and then suggests a sale price for each part number to see if it's even worth selling your product on eBay. Once you are ready to sell the selected products, Shopping Cart Elite can then push those products into an eBay auction with a professional listing. You won't have to waste time manually creating your auctions.
Other Marketplaces: Shopping Cart Elite allows you to push your products in various marketplaces including eBay, Amazon, Craigslist and many others. It uses your existing product database and allows you to create templates that resemble your product page. It can also be programmed to list only those items you have in stock or that are competitive enough to sell. Using the marketplace tool can give you the ease you're looking for to list and maintain products on various marketplaces without spending more than a few minutes in listing the actual items.
Google: You've probably heard that you should be able to submit data feeds to Google Base to sell on Google Products for free. But have you heard of a shopping cart maintaining and updating that data feed for you every single day, automatically, through Google's API.
Shopping Cart Elite has integrated the Google Data API, which allows direct communication between Google Base and your website. By simply entering your Google email and password, you can have your complete store loaded into Google Base which lists your products for free on the Google Products search engine.
Shopping Cart Elite will also adjust prices as well as add, modify, and delete products as it maintains your store automatically for you. It is truly a robust system.
Competition Spy: You say you're not sure what price yours products should be selling for? The Competition Spy solves this problem by researching every part number against your competition and suggests a sale price for each part number. You can also set exceptions to make sure the sale price doesn't fall below your cost price. Finally, it will give a full report to show you how competitive you are in the marketplace and if you need to negotiate better discounts with your suppliers.
