17 eBay Selling Manager Applications

24/08/2009 at 22:05

It’s been a week since eBay launched Selling Manager Applications and 17 have now been made available. Every application is available with a free trial so you can try it out before you subscribe, but currently they’re only available to eBay.com users.

The applications available range from research and product sourcing to shipping as well as rich media, video and listing templates as well as post sales tools. Doubtless more will be added soon, but the currently available applications listed in order of popularity are below. (N.B. The top applications were those in the limited Beta trials so rankings are skewed in their favour.)
