Unless someone has been living in a cave for the past few years, the name eBay and amzon.com should at the very least sound familiar.  It’s almost expected that anyone who works with eCommerce has at one time crossed paths with eBay or Amazon. Unfortunately, many newbie’s who purchase shopping cart software don’t realize that both eBay and/ or Amazon can be a vital launching pad for new businesses.

Anyone who has been in business knows that starting a new company whether it be a local shoe shop or a super market requires taking some risk. Usually the less risk associated with a particular business the more competition you will have since everyone wants to get a part of the pie. Switching gears to an online business gives an entrepreneur specific advantages.  I suppose one could look at it as the criteria for shopping cart software which basically means meeting a criteria with regards to research and development.

eCommerce research can be a tricky process, and if not done properly can result in the loss of time and money. Therefore, in keeping up with the holiday spirit I will go over some “secret” marketing techniques involving eBay and Amazon. Before a person purchases an eCommerce shopping cart solution I recommend opening up a 15.00 eBay store,  and selling some of your products via there system for couple of months.  During this process keep detailed records of what is selling most, and at what prices. Though this $15.00 investment you are able to really know what to feature, and what might not sell. Besides for the valuable research information you will start your business with a few customers who will hopefully be your fans.

The next step, and I stress this is optional would be to open up a merchant account with Amazon and start listing the best selling eBay  products. Depending on how the conversion works out an eCommerce store owner would be better prepared to launch a successful and most importantly profitable eCommerce business.
