Ecommerce in Online Marketplaces
Lets start with Auction style websites
Auctioning your stock can be a very tricky business, years ago it would only have been an option for the dedicated antique merchant. These days however, anyone can sell anything to anyone with the fruition of sites such as eBay, StockAuctions and Liquidation. These sites offer the seller and buyer alike to gain a fast result for the purpose, be it purchasing or selling. There are many who even have the skill of purchasing their stock...and selling their stock...all on the same site thanks to a keen eye for a bargain! Many companies have tried to join in on the action offering wholesale and dropship services, automated listing tools and eBay shop design and implementation. There's no harm done spending a morning with the likes of eBay to find out all they have to offer. Make full use of the various areas for sellers, seller guides and play around with the online tools... you may be surprised just how easy it all was after you make your first sale!
Listing style websites
Listing websites such as Amazon use a different format to many market places for the means of making a sale. After an easy registration process, Amazon offers a fast and intuitive menu system for controlling the online inventory and sales/dispatches of your work at home business. Fees are slightly greater than eBay, but you sell at a fixed price...so you can adjust accordingly. As a Listing Marketplace seller, you have the internet presence of a very large internet brand behind you...as the marketing of the product is done for you. Typically sellers will be wholesale orientated...although you may well find the odd Dropshipper.
Custom Websites
If you use a Wholesaler and have a gap in the market, building your own dedicated website with one of the many available (please see our "resources and articles" section for more information) store building tools may be of interest to you. With good branding, effective use of advertising and SEO methods you could be THE website of choice for your product category. Custom websites give you the freedom to express yourself and with easy integration software readily available on many sites...you can potentially have your first store up in no time! It is worth bearing in mind your sourcing method as you as a business will be personally liable for all trading on-site...Dropshipping for example, could be a very bad idea for some product ranges.
