Introduction

TameBay is owned and written by Chris Dawson and Sue Bailey, two British ecommerce professionals. Between us we have traded on eBay for over two decades, and have more than 70,000 positive feedback comments (and just 2 negs!).

Chris and Sue met on eBay UK's PowerSeller forum longer ago than either of them like to admit. By October 2006, both had become frustrated with eBay's inability to keep their users informed of new features on the site, with the impenetrability of eBay's help pages, and with the lack of a UK- and Europe-centered news site for all things ecommercial. In a moment between classes at eBay University, Dan Wilson said what were to be fatal words: "you need a blog". TameBay is the result.

Since the launch in 2006 TameBay has grown to be one of the definitive sources for eBay news, tips, tricks and trading advice. Over 50,000 readers visit the site each month making TameBay one of the best places on the Internet to keep up to date with everything eBay and to network with fellow eBay professional sellers.

We're thrilled to publish the first edition of the TameBay eBay Tools and Services Guide 2011 which brings together all of the tools we've used to run our businesses over the years.

As an eBay business grows there becomes a need to simplify and automate many of the day to day tasks you will be undertaking. Everything from listing an item on eBay, printing and posting your sales, managing your customer communications and expanding your eBay business onto other marketplaces, your own website, shopping comparison sites and using paid search can be done manually. However the use of appropriate tools to manage these processes can automate the functions, perform tasks more effectively and save time and costs freeing you up to manage your business.

Many of the tools in this guide are little known apps which can make a huge contribution to the way you run your eBay business. Others are better known, but you may not have had time to fully investigate the products and services they offer. Whether it is a utility to make printing your labels and invoices automatic, or a fully fledged multi-channel ecommerce management platform you'll find what you're looking for in the following pages.

We'd like to thank all of the companies who have supported us in creating this guide, the many people who support us with content for the site, Dan Wilson for the original suggestion that we should launch TameBay and most importantly of all, you and all our many other thousands of readers who visit TameBay, comment on TameBay and who have made the site what it is today.

For the very latest eBay and ecommerce news don't forget to visit us at TameBay.com.

Best wishes

Alibaba

Helping small and medium businesses to trade internationally

The ever changing world of technology: whether you see it as a positive or it terrifies you, there is no denying it opens up a world of new opportunities for businesses.

As an online trader, you are now able to find and make contact with companies that you would never have had the opportunity to work with even a mere five years ago. And no company is too small to take advantage of the global market – everyone can benefit from finding lower priced, better quality products and services, or by selling to an increased customer base.

Maggie Choo, Director of International Business Development and Marketing for Alibaba.com globally, comments: "When it comes to a business experimenting with international trade for the first time, it's easy to overestimate the potential difficulties and underestimate the potential pay back. Thanks to the internet, sourcing opportunities have never been more abundant or varied, allowing small and medium-sized businesses to find all kinds of goods and supplies that they may struggle to source offline. By using online trading platforms and internet searches, they can quickly and easily find off the shelf or bespoke items at a far lower cost.

"Similarly, if you're looking to export, there is a whole world of buyers out there who could be just a couple of clicks away from finding you."

Alibaba.com has compiled the following top tips and insight for companies considering international trade for the first time.

Getting started

\- A simple internet search will often bring up a wealth of information. If you're looking for a Chinese manufacturer to help you produce a widget, then type in your search terms and see what happens. Online trading platforms, such as Alibaba.com, can also help to put you in touch with millions of businesses worldwide who are ready to trade in that specific category.

Communication

\- When communicating with people whose first language is not that of your own, no matter how word-perfect they seem to be, do not over-estimate their language skills. Mistakes can sometimes be made so double confirm all the details. Use simple sentence structures, avoid using jargon, acronyms and slang words and make sure you are specific, clear and concise.

\- With time differences, communicating has to be well planned and bear in mind this may add extra time to negotiations. Consider local holidays too, when organisations may be closed for an extended period.

\- Utilise modern technology to speed the process up. For example, if you're waiting for a product sample from a potential new supplier, ask them to send you a video of it before it is shipped. There may be glaring problems which need addressing, which can then be sorted without waiting for the product to go through transit. Or if you're trying to explain some changes you would like to be made, consider using animation, diagrams or video to explain exactly what you mean.

Embracing differences

\- Many people worry about the cultural issues involved when working with a company based in a different country. It's always wise to be sensitive to cultural differences, but don't let those differences put you off getting in touch.

\- Avoid making judgments or assumptions about people based on where they are from – instead, do a bit of research on Chinese business values, for example, if you plan on dealing with companies in the Far East.

\- You may have your mind set on finding the lowest possible price, but don't forget that it is equally (if not more) important to build the relationship as it is to make the deal. Remember you (presumably) are not just in this for a quick fix. You want to find a business partner you can depend on to help your business grow.

\- Check if the supplier is already working with businesses in your country for references and to gauge their understanding of your culture. For example, if you're looking at producing clothing, companies in the Far East may not always be geared up to deal with European sizes. Their idea of XL may be very different to yours.

Finances

\- Get specialist advice on the financial aspects/tax implications of importing and exporting and make sure this is factored into the price you can afford to pay/charge.

\- Be sure to clearly agree payment terms before any transaction takes place. In you are purchasing, be cautious of businesses that ask for cash payment, as that can be a favourite with scammers because a cash transfer is not protected and it's basically like handing cash over to a stranger on the street. Never wire money to a personal rather than a business account. Preferably, use an escrow payment service such as PayPal or Moneybookers that will protect both parties' interests, or speak to your bank about wiring funds. But be aware these are hard to recall once the process has started.

\- As a buyer, spread out payments if you can, and as a seller make sure you don't leave yourself exposed. You will have to negotiate with your partners to find a payment solution that is agreeable to both parties. Some people work on the basis of 30% payment before production begins, allowing final approval of samples before any more cash is paid. When it comes to final payments, some people ask for proof the full order has been produced, perhaps with a photo, or wait until the order has been dispatched. Remember, there is risk on both sides and some trust will have to be involved. This is why the due diligence process at the front end is so important – ask for references, do a simple internet search for posts about the vendor/buyer in public forums and follow your instincts – if something doesn't work for you and your business then choose a different avenue.

\- Make the most of incentives for business growth offered by your local or national government – funds are available for those entrepreneurs looking to actively grow their business. Now is the time to invest in your company, to make the most of the positive momentum for small/medium businesses in today's economic climate.

Exchange Rates

\- As an example, in the UK, the depreciation of sterling has boosted exporters' profits as firms have not passed all of the fall in the pound on to their buyers. This remains a good reason for firms to enter the UK export market. According to the Treasury, the corporate tax measures introduced in the emergency budget and the subsequent release of resources from the government should further support supply-side activity.

\- Until recently China tied its own currency to the dollar however it no longer pegs its currency. As a result it is now more favourable for countries outside of the US to trade with China.

Security

\- As you would when dealing with any new business contact, do some research. Check the background of the company. Are they members of a trade association or do they have any kind of verification/certification for the products they are developing? Do a credit check. Are they happy for you to speak to references? Beware of companies who just have a PO box or where the phone always goes to voicemail during the country's standard working hours – bear in mind you may have to get up during the night to try this!

\- **Keep paperwork clear** – spell out what you expect in terms of delivery and the product itself.

\- **Beware fraudsters and scammers** – although a tiny proportion of people are untrustworthy, it pays to be sensible. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Transportation/Logistics

\- If you are importing, your supplier is responsible for safely packing the order and completing the paperwork necessary to clear the port on their side of the transaction. If you are exporting then the responsibility is in your hands. The seller will usually get the product to a port and then the purchaser needs to organise shipping.

\- Assuming this is going to be an ongoing arrangement, it makes sense to try and find transport partners you will be able to build an ongoing relationship with. Ask for quotes for shipping via sea and air and make sure they include all duties and fees involved, as these can have a sizeable impact to the end price of a product.

\- If you are the buyer it is your responsibility to ensure the goods can legally be imported into the country and to get the products through customs.

\- There is a wide range of shipping/duty terminology and acronyms you may need to familiarise yourself with as you go along - http://www.acronymfinder.com/ is a useful resource. And make sure you double check the small print.

\- Ensure either you or your supply chain partner has insurance in place to cover the goods whilst they are in transit.

\- Factor in the time needed to import/export and plan accordingly. Don't overpromise.

\- You could consider working with an import/export professional to manage the process for you, especially if this is something you intend to start doing more frequently.

ChannelAdvisor

LeSports: ChannelAdvisor Makes Online Marketplaces Manageable

"We have settled all these channels with just one bit of software. It makes life so much easier."

-LeSports Director, James McIlvenny

www.lesports.co.uk

New Mills, England

Online Sportswear and Equipment

Overview

When LeSports was founded in 1980, the sportswear and equipment provider supplied independent sports retailers with the latest trends in sportswear. However, as the independent retailers dwindled due to the large sportswear chains moving in, LeSports changed its direction and moved to selling directly to the consumer. Even as its products moved to online stores like eBay and Amazon, LeSports never changed its mission statement: to supply quality branded sports clothing, footwear and accessories at competitive prices with excellent customer service.

Situation

Transitioning from supplying retailers to selling directly to consumers online was an extremely tedious process for LeSports. The marketing director of LeSports, James McIlvenny, explained, "Prior to using ChannelAdvisor, we had no other solution in place. Everything was done manually. We had some staff members doing schedules and other staff carefully monitoring where products were best selling. It was very time-consuming."

LeSports found it difficult to distribute and manage its inventory across its own webstore and multiple marketplaces. The company had no strategy for listing merchandise—they were listing the full inventory on eBay yet listing very few products on Amazon. The company also had difficulty managing orders as they were coming in from multiple sources—they needed a central platform from which to manage orders to track inventory properly.

"Amazon ran out of stock, eBay ran out of stock. We needed a solution to combine both channels into one—we could not manage the inventory," he said. The sportswear and equipment provider stood at a crossroads with two options left: to fall at the feet of sportswear giants or revive its online resources with an e-commerce strategy.

Solution

LeSports implemented ChannelAdvisor's Premium Marketplace and Premium Webstore solutions to manage and distribute its inventory. Knowing that its retail client base was diminishing, e-commerce was flourishing and its ChannelAdvisor solutions were working, LeSports knew it was time to shift its sales entirely online.

The decision to use ChannelAdvisor came easy to McIlvenny; the technological experience and customer support capabilities were just what LeSports needed.

LeSports, for the first time, had one place to monitor all inventories across multiple channels. Using the Inventory Juggler feature of ChannelAdvisor's Premium Marketplaces solution enabled LeSports to list inventory from a single source across eBay, Amazon and its own webstore. The Inventory Juggler feature tracks the inventory to make sure that if it sells out on eBay, it is not listed for sale on Amazon. This ensures that LeSports is no longer listing products for sale that are out of stock, improving the customer experience and LeSports' seller status.

LeSports also uses ChannelAdvisor's Premium Webstores solution. "We were at a point where we had our marketplaces going well—we wanted to grow the business online," he said. Using ChannelAdvisor's Cross-Channel Dashboard LeSports can compare how products are performing on its webstore, eBay and Amazon and make performance-based product decisions. For example, if a product is selling particularly well on Amazon, LeSports can quickly shift inventory from eBay to respond to the demand.

Results

Since using ChannelAdvisor, LeSports has seen year-over-year growth of 49% on marketplaces, and is forecasting that the company's growth will continue. LeSports also anticipates continued growth on its webstore as the company works with ChannelAdvisor to develop the comparison shopping strategy and eventually a paid search strategy as well.

"With ChannelAdvisor our e-commerce strategy is completely automated so we spend no time at all on the tedious tasks of listing products online, reviewing product performance and chasing down orders and inventory to ensure that that we are not out of stock," McIlvenny said. "ChannelAdvisor gives us more time to focus on our overall strategy and the ability to analyse and review product performance, too. Without ChannelAdvisor, we would probably need to recruit another two or three people purely to manage what the software is currently doing."

Due to its initial success with ChannelAdvisor, LeSports expanded its product availability to list items on eBay in America, Australia, France and Germany and more recently Amazon France. "The inventory is shared," McIlvenny said, "We have settled all these channels with just one bit of software. It makes life so much easier."

ChannelAdvisor Solutions

Premium Marketplaces, Premium Webstores

ChannelAdvisor combines on-demand software, integration technology and best practices to help retailers manage the complexities of selling across multiple e-commerce channels – more efficiently and more profitably – all through a single interface.

A powerful part of the ChannelAdvisor platform, Premium Marketplaces helps retailers sell more and spend less on sites like Amazon, Buy.com, eBay, Pixmania and Trading Post. Allowing online retailers to focus on growing their business, Premium Marketplaces automates the tedious tasks of e-commerce from product distribution to post-sale.

ChannelAdvisor's Webstore solutions make it easy for retailers to up-sell products from eBay stores to their own websites and cross-promote products over multiple marketplaces, effectively driving conversions, merging across-the-board efficiencies and extending retailers' brands to a broader audience.

WHY choose Dzine-Hub?

Four simple reasons that make Dzine-Hub the only choice –

**\- Quality** \- When you choose a design partner, choose wisely. Quality is the focus - a top quality design can encourage a sale, while an amateurish or no design might do otherwise. Actions speak louder than words – visit our website portfolio for the "actions".

**\- Service** – All your emails, queries and revisions are handled quickly and efficiently. During the project phase.

We answer all emails within 24-36 hours on business working days (Monday - Friday).

Our project managers are available on the phone for discussions for a time-slot, if scheduled to give you personalized support.

**\- Pricing** – Our design & quality levels are second to none; we deliver nothing short of the best. And the pricing is no exception – at £399 it is the best you can get for the entire package.

**\- Flexibility** – We do not have any monthly membership plans where a customer could be tied to use any seller tool that we may own. Rather, we customize the listing template to suit the seller tool of their choice like ChannelAdvisor, Inkfrog, Auctiva, BlackThorne, TurboLister, etc.

Goofbay

Goofbay is an essential bargain hunting companion, whether you are buying, or selling on eBay. As one of the biggest eBay tools specialists on the web, Goofbay has grown quickly since being established in early 2005. Here, we take a look at some of the free tools on offer through Goofbay.

Free eBay Sniper

You've seen it before; your bid is winning as the eBay auction is about to close. You watch in excitement for the eBay winning notification, but...it never comes, you've lost?! In the last seconds of the auction a new bid has appeared, somehow they have managing to outbid you and it's too late for you to respond. You've been sniped!

If you're tired of losing eBay auctions Goofbay eBay Sniper is the answer. Goofbay's free eBay Sniper automates the process of placing a bid in the closing seconds of an eBay auction, dramatically increasing your chance of winning.

There is no complicated software to learn; all you do is enter the eBay item number and your maximum bid. Goofbay will snipe eBay just a few seconds before the auction ends, so you can rest easy knowing you have the best chance possible of winning the auction.

Thousands of buyers snipe eBay auctions every day, if you can't beat them - join them!

eBay Most Popular Tool

This tool allows users to view how popular an item is through the number of watchers it has achieved. With this information, eBay sellers can better understand pricing points and demand for items, whilst buyers can better understand what type of Best Offer a user may accept.

eBay Bid History Tool

The eBay Bid History Tool allows you to lookup what someone is bidding for on eBay. You can see what items they have won, the percentage of auctions they have the winning bid in and how much they have spent in anywhere up to the last 120 days.

eBay Seller History Tool

The eBay Seller History Tool allows you to view a seller's sale history. You can see exactly what a seller has sold, how many they sold, how much their turnover was and how much they spent in eBay fees in up to the last 90 days. The Seller History Tool is particularly useful for eBay Sellers researching which products are selling most effectively online.

eBay Feedback Checker

The eBay Feedback Checker Tool allows you to lookup the entire feedback history of a seller or buyer on eBay. You can filter out positive feedback, negative feedback, withdrawn feedback and neutral feedback, allowing you to easily see the reliability of the seller or buyer you are dealing with.

eBay Best Offers Tool

The eBay Best Offers Tool allows you to view what offers a seller has accepted or declined. You can see exactly how often a seller accepts an offer and the average reduction a seller will accept in up to the last 90 days. Use this tool to better understand how much you can expect a seller to accept on a Best Offer.

eBay Misspellings Search

The eBay Misspellings Search allows you to search for items that have been misspelled by the seller, giving you more chance of picking up a bargain as nobody else can find it. For example if you type in 'Playstation', Goofbay will automatically search for misspellings such as Paystation, Playstaion, Playtation, and more.

If you are searching for a new camera, why not use the advanced filters to filter results by Brand, Model, Zoom, Bundled Kit, Megapixels and more.

eBay Bargains Search

The Bargains search allows you to search for eBay items with zero bids in order of when the auction is ending. You can further refine this search to find specific items which immediate impulse bargains are waiting to be had.

eBay Not In Title Search

This is a totally unique feature, no other site searches this way. You search for example 'PSP Games' and Goofbay lists those games where people have excluded 'PSP' or 'Games' from the title. (Games listed in the PSP category with a title as '2 games' etc. usually go undiscovered on eBay).

eBay Exact Search

The eBay Exact Search allows you to do a regular search on eBay but has the benefit of using the Goofbay advanced search filters to quickly and easily find the perfect item. If you are searching for a new camera, why not use Goofbay's advanced search to filter results by Brand, Model, Zoom, Bundled Kit, Megapixels and more.

eBay Local Search

Use this tool to search for items that are local to you with the eBay Local Search tool. By searching for local items, it's possible to grab a bargain and save on delivery costs by collecting it the very same day.

eBay Impulse Search

The eBay impulse search allows you to quickly search eBay for auction items currently below their perceived auction value. For example, you can search for Xbox 360 related items for under £10. The impulse search allows you to uncover bargains on items you often never expected.

If you've never used Goofbay before, now is the time to have a go with some of the tools. If you are one of the 100,000 people who currently use eBay, then why not take the opportunity to use a wider range of its tools to better identify eBay bargains. You could use tools in conjunction with one another, for example using the 'Not in Title Search' to identify a bargain, before using the Free eBay Sniper to stand the greatest chance of winning it?

In addition to these tools, Goofbay also offers a range of buyer and seller shortcuts, completing its offering as an essential eBay companion. The developers of the site are also looking to bring news of the latest eBay deals and bargain hunting opportunities as they happen. To receive the latest bargain hunting opportunities and for updates on new Free eBay tools, sign up to Goofbay now. You can also receive updates through joining <http://www.facebook.com/goofbay>, or follow Goofbay at <http://www.twitter.com/goofbay_com>.

Terapeak

Terapeak for eBay – eBay Market Research for Sellers – http://www.terapeak.com

Make more profit and close more auctions by using eBay market research.

Our sellers sell 65% more on average because they understand what prices buyers are historically willing to pay, what titles get found, and how to optimize their listings. Terapeak users sold a combined 4$ bil

Successful eBay selling involves three things:

\- Find the average price of an item, this is what buyers are proven to pay

\- Research your competition to see how they succeed – the best sellers consistently sell 80% of their listings – learn from them and compete successfully

\- Optimize your listings based on what you find – adjust price, change title key words to rank higher, close more listings

Research and identify the average price of your item:

Terapeak will show the dollar amount most buyers are proven to pay for something. Discovering this will make it much easier to price your items so as to maximize profit and avoid being passed over.

\- Get the average sale price for your item and apply this value to your fixed-price listings or a lesser value to your bid auctions. Pricing your items effectively will entice buyers, you should avoid setting a price that is too high as these can quickly get passed over.

\- Filter your search results appropriately compare vs. the tiem of year: be sure you are looking at a specific item and not the whole category's price – then compare the average price this time last year to know exactly what people paid (sometimes prices peak and you'll make more if you wait to list).

\- Price your items using your new insight. Pricing is so vital to making a positive impact on buyers, remember, shoppers want bargains to jump out at them. Price your items fairly and customers will gravitate to your listings to make a purchase.

Find the top sellers and research competition:

Easily find the top sellers for your item(s). Finding them to review their listings will show you how to succeed; you'll see what listing styles are attractive to customers and what title key words rank highest and get found. Terapeak makes it easy to find all the following information quickly:

\- Find the top sellers, Terapeak ranks top sellers for any item for you to look up and analyze. This is the foundation for building a successful listing, learning from the best.

\- Review their listings to see what features, keywords and other listing elements they use. This is how you discover techniques that are proven successful. A report will display everything from pricing to a seller's most-successful day of the week - which you can immediately employ.

\- Adapt your own listings to the successful style you find - until you do this you're not really competing. Remember there is a winning strategy to every item; fortunately uncovering it is fairly straightforward will tools like this.

Perfect your listings:

Use the proven listing features and techniques pulled from both a Terapeak item report and top sellers' listings to optimize your own listings. This is how you out-sell the top sellers.

\- Time your listing, list when items are proven to sell - you need to find the optimal day and time to close your listings. Terapeak can easily show this and any seasonality (best time of year) your item has. End your listings at the exact time when shoppers are paying the most, this way you'll always maximize your end price.

\- Find the most searched keywords - Terapeak's Title Builder will show valuable words that get the highest end price for an item, and popular words that searchers are already using. Listing as "vintage" vs "retro" can be the difference between a high price and a low price. You can know this ahead of time using Terapeak.

\- Cover all your categories, many buyers search at a category level instead of a general search, be sure you use Terapeak to find every category your product should be in. Terapeak will quickly tell you every category an item is listed in and how often it gets listed there and how often it sells. Remember we only show you closed listings, you are only ever looking at stats related to successful listings.

Finally, keep in mind that your listing appears shoulder to shoulder with all the others and it's easy for shoppers to move on. Listings that are priced well, with the right keywords and timed to perfection are assured to perform. Your best strategy is to employ the tools that give you this listing intelligence. The good news is that they're already at your disposal.

ChannelAdvisor

Going Global: A Guide to the Challenges and Solutions

If you are producing results on eBay and Amazon in your native country, chances are that you have considered expanding beyond your local boundaries to capture the buying power of other countries worldwide.

Global Opportunity

Based on industry research as well as ChannelAdvisor results, the estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the European Union (EU) predicts that e-commerce will increase 19 percent per year until 2014. The US will account for an estimated 11 percent annual increase, with the rest of the world (mainly Asia Pacific) establishing a 29 percent average annual growth.

For a deeper dive into the EU breakdown, the UK is the largest online spender, followed by Germany and France. The predicted online retail sales for these specific countries in 2014 are approximately:

UK €40 million

Germany €27 million

France €17 million

Based on these predictions, these particular countries are logical targets for beginning an international e-commerce push.

The language barrier with any foreign country can be intimidating, but that's really only scratching the surface of challenges to bear in mind when expanding internationally. There's also tax and currency considerations, shipping, customer service and much more to take into account. Whilst there is not enough space here to delve into the intricacies, the following abbreviated guide will give you a holistic view of how to tackle the complexities of global expansion.

Financial & Legal

Things To Think About:

Tax/VAT & Reporting

Payment & Banking

Local regulations

Registering your business

Do you register locally?

Import taxes/VAT: buyers may be charged one or both when buying from outside of Europe; the only way to legally bypass this issue is to import the goods yourself, thus either have a branch in the EU or use a fulfillment service

Companies To Talk To:

World First

PayPal

Local Banking

Challenges with local banking include language barriers, regulations, as well as many require local addresses to register an account- ask your home bank for a referral

MoneyBookers

Shipping & Fulfillment

Things To Think About:

Shipping times

Returns

Are they accepted/required?

What is the timeframe?

Are the returns coming in to a localised address?

Delivery costs

Passed on to the consumer?

Absorbed?

Is order tracking included?

Signature required?

Email Communications (Touch Strategy)

Order acknowledgment

Registration

Dispatch

Delivery delays, etc.

Text Message alerts

Dispatch

Delivery Date confirmation

What delivery options are available/offered/preferred?

Companies To Talk To:

Amazon – Local FBA (UK, FR, DE)

Returns with FBA have to be sent to a local address, which then have to be picked up by a freight broker- this is time consuming and costly, and can be hard to manage reliably

Non-EU customers will have to import the goods first

Third-Party Fulfillment/Management Companies (Local/International)

Language Barriers & Localisation

Things To Think About:

Website currency conversions

Lack of localisation in terms of currency could cause issues

Website/Marketplace content translations

Unprofessional translations and incorrect use of key terms can cause bounce rates, loss of potential customers, inability to challenge local competitors in a particular market

Companies To Talk To:

Translation services through companies such as:

Intercultural elements

Language Wire

In-house translators

Customer Service

Things To Think About:

Timely customer communications in the local language are essential for successful retailer/client interactions and feedback

Don't cut corners with software-based translator tools at the expense of customer satisfaction

Companies To Talk To:

Hire native-speaking staff on hourly basis to take care of customer enquiries

Provide good FAQs to avoid lengthy correspondence/many customer queries

For on-the-fly translations use real translators through a service such as:

Language Wire

In conclusion, if you already have the product and the infrastructure in place, selling internationally is a natural progression to grow your business and sell more. Be sure to plan carefully and only use reputable partners. Also, remember that the more shipping and payment options you can support, the less cart abandonment you'll encounter. Finally, eBay and Amazon are great places to start your international expansion, but don't forget about other channels, such as paid search and comparison shopping, that can be equally rewarding.
