How to post 1000s of items

[TheBosss]

How do these drop shippers automate this?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn...75.m3561.l2562

I see many with 1000s of postings that are obvi just from Amazon marked up 1.5x - 2x . Anyone know of some similar programs?

It is not a program as such, if you sell by FBA on Amazon they will ship third party orders, you can up load the Amazon flat file directly through eBay of your Amazon listings, the prices are more as you have to pay Amazon more for handling it.

Set up an Amazon Seller Central account.
Go to Multi-Channel Order Fulfillment in your FBA settings.
Submit your order fulfillment details / requirements by filling out the online form, uploading a bulk file or integrating Amazon with your eBay store.
Ship your inventory to an Amazon fulfillment center.

Then you can use a program like seller geek.

There is a software program which you have to subscribe,you ask it to choose certain AMZN categories and list those items on Ebay with x % markup and quantity,it will continuously real time monitor those items on AMZN for quantity available and prices to update your Ebay listings.
Ebay banned that,it must be years ago.

--------
The ebay price should not be more than AMZN prices,if the seller is selling on both sites and using FBA by AMZN,it is his merchandise ,the markup should be the same on both sales venues. .
But for the retail arbitragers,yes,his Ebay price would be higher than the AMZN asking price,since he does not own the merchandise,he is trying to arbitrage and make a tiny profit,I said it is tiny since everyone knows how to do it,some turn a profit via the shipping fee he asked on Ebay or using a discount credit card to buy on AMZN using his AMZN prime account.
It must be widely profitable in the beginning,a local accountant once told me his client makes 22 cents per transaction and clear $22k a month,I thought he was drunk,but he said he filed her income tax return.

this arbitrager is not including her own labor cost,unless it is all automated,if not ,how many times doe she have to go to AMZN and place the order as a gift using her prime account?
if she is making $22k a month and each transaction nets her 22 cents,she is making 10,000 trips to AMZN?
This must be the early days when the subscription program does it for her,Ebay has now banned it.

either automated or has some ppl working for her...10k trips a month for 1 person would be too much...

There is an open source e-commerce website where they have an app which acts as a middleman for arbitrage selling. You import the products from Amazon into the web store as your listings and then you import them into eBay, when an item is sold it will register it as a sale on your website and purchase from Amazon automatically, the tracking get communicated back to your website and placed in eBay as shipped.

I can not remember which software or e-commerce website was used, it was devised when direct arbitrage was banned by eBay as a work around.

Those seller with low margin they use cashback credit card and getting 5% from it (amazon). Then they use Amazon buyer stealth to have a referral link and get 10%. Each item sold

So they make more money with the cashback
using low price almost the same as amazon put them at top vs competitors that put the same items at +50% at least to cover fees and make some profit

The name of the importer + auto tracking is Autods.
They convert the amazon TBA tracking in blue care express and its accepted on ebay

this software even change the start location of the items inside tracking to your location so it seems shippend on your location

ebay seller arbitrage is evolving with those complex APIs, its not dead as everybody here think "Yeah it was good past years but now is trash bla bla bla"

That looks like a good solution for arbitrage selling.

My problem with arbitrage sellers is if they purchase from you and you have shipping issues, they are very quick to leave negative feedback, not just for the one delayed order, but for all the orders they bought from you in the previous month.

I personally do not like them as they can ruin a seller if they get upset with them.

Don't worry yourself, they buy from Amazon to fulfill their ebay sales, almost exclusively from Amazon or FBA sellers, so it aint an issue whatsoever. (You'd know why if you did Amazon FBA )

So i have 5 shop (2 italy, 3 germany) right now and trust me its like 1-2% that complain and put a negative feedback
Like in 1000 item solds its like 2 customers that want explaination. At least in europe they dont give a ****... They just want the item and fast shipping
