comprehensive management program
27 Feb 2008
hi all
I have been selling on
eBay's UK site on and off for the last two years and built up a feedback of around 2500. During that time, I used no software and just kept track of finances through an excel spreadsheet. I have recently decided that I want to take it more seriously, but before I do, I felt it would be good to have a comprehensive automated system in place that offers management, research, accounting and marketing solutions. I am prepared to spend what it takes to get the best solution. Other than reading a number of posts on this website, I have no knowledge of the software programs on offer and so would be very grateful if anyone could help me with the following questions:
1) Is there one program that could offer comprehensive management, research, accounting and marketing solutions or would I have to go to different companies for each of these?
2) ESeller Pro,
Laris,
AuctionSage and
AuctionSplash seem to have had good reviews. Is one more comprehensive than the others?
3) Would I need to purchase an accounting program like Sage or do one of the above have their own accounting software?
4) Even if one of the above programs has research tools, would it still be useful to use
Terapeak and/or Auction Intelligence or do they all provide similar services?
5) Would I need to learn HTML to create a brand for my listings or do these software programs help you with that?
Again, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated
thanks
Jack
