Modify eBay product data and perform mass updates

You are a professional eBay merchant and offer up to 10,000 items? And now you want to change all items as soon as possible according to a price rule (e.g. 2%)? Product manager Daniel Bleichroth explains how you can easily implement this with Afterbuy and how long it takes.

Afterbuy advantages

You sell on eBay and use dropshipping, for example? Then you will surely get a large amount of items from your supplier as well, which you list on eBay. But what happens if you want to change all items after a new price rule? If you use a suitable system, even such a big change is no problem. And Afterbuy represents such a system. Because Afterbuy is the all-in-one solution for eCommerce, an innovative multichannel tool. It allows high automation of your online sales and has a large number of interfaces to various marketplaces. This is also the case with eBay. Moreover, it can provide you with great additional services, such as its own CRM, a stock management app, Afterbuy statistics, or even an Afterbuy checkout app.

Several options for implementation

If you want to change all your items now, you can do a CSV update with Afterbuy for example. This means that every price or item that is touched once from the price field is automatically written by Afterbuy into a so-called queue system. You can imagine the system similar to an Excel spreadsheet, in which the article number and price is noted. And this data is then transferred asynchronously to eBay. The synchronization should then be completed within one to two hours. Another option in Afteerbuy is to work with dynamic pricing rules, for example. With the help of dynamic pricing rules, you can automatically adjust sales prices in Afterbuy according to rules you define.

Save time and costs with Afterbuy

So you can refer to a pricing image and link the pricing rule in each listing entry. After that, you just change the price rule and all changes end up in the queue system and are finally transferred. In summary, this means: With about 10000 articles, a change with the help of Afterbuy takes just one to two hours. An eCommerce ERP system is always there to enable to work perfomantly with marketplaces. In the past, online retailers had to enter a lot of data manually, which cost too much time and money, especially in the long term. Thanks to systems like Afterbuy, a lot of work is taken off your hands. A fact that, over time, will also positively affect your sales.

Various synchronization functions are included

Of course, you can also influence other factors, e.g. change the design template, the template or images. But here you also have to invest a little more time. For the description field on eBay alone, 500000 characters are possible. And these must also all be transferred. If you change the design template, the complete template is also present in the description. Pure numeric fields such as price and quantity are relatively quick, but a description takes a correspondingly long time. For this reason, Afterbuy has also built in various synchronization features.

Base prices are usually stored in the product. This means that the unit of measurement and, if necessary, the quantity are already present. You can link these at Afterbuy, then you can decide what exactly you want to sync. For example, if you have to act rather quickly, you can also synchronize only the characteristics of the corresponding entries first. Because that’s how you get to see results again relatively quickly. You would like to get to know all these functions? Try Afterbuy free of charge for 14 days. This way you can personally convince yourself of the many advantages.
