These days, many online sellers offer their products on multiple marketplaces and websites. Multichannel selling is one of the best success strategies for growing e-commerce business.

If you're an Amazon seller considering expanding to eBay, or an eBay seller considering expanding to Amazon, you've probably read about inkFrog and had questions about how inkFrog can help you to sell on both platforms.

Here are our answers to some of the most common questions we receive about using inkFrog with eBay and Amazon sales.

1. Can I use inkFrog to help me sell on eBay and Amazon at the same time?

Yes. This is exactly what inkFrog does best! With inkFrog, you can:

• Get your Amazon listings up on eBay more quickly

• Synchronize inventory levels, prices, titles, and descriptions between Amazon and eBay

• Use designer templates to ensure that your eBay listings match your Amazon listings in quality

• Manage your entire Amazon product line, even thousands of products, efficiently on eBay

2. Can I use inkFrog to help me import my Amazon listings to eBay?

Yes. Get an eBay seller account, sign up for inkFrog, then link your Amazon account to inkFrog. You can then import your listings for reuse on eBay, tweaking or customizing them in the process for maximum performance.

Use inkFrog to get your existing body of Amazon products up for sale on eBay—quickly.

It takes a significant amount of time to get a complete inventory up and selling on Amazon, and even longer to get a complete inventory up and selling on eBay one listing at a time. inkFrog enables you to start with the Amazon listings you already have, then quickly leverage those and hundreds of designer templates to build a complete inventory of eBay listings.

3. What does it mean that inkFrog can "synchronize" my eBay and Amazon listings?

This means that once you have created eBay listings based on your Amazon listings using inkFrog, you can opt to have changes that you make to titles and descriptions stay "in sync" between the two platforms.

• Optionally, inkFrog can spot changes that you make to an Amazon listing title or description and make the same changes to your matching eBay listing

• Optionally, inkFrog can spot changes that you make to an eBay listing title or description and make the same changes to your matching Amazon listing

When you link your Amazon account to inkFrog, you can choose whether to synchronize titles, descriptions, neither, or both, and whether updates will run in both directions or just one direction (and, if only in one direction, which direction that is).

4. What does it mean that inkFrog can "synchronize" my eBay and Amazon inventory?

This means that once you have created eBay listings based on your Amazon listings using inkFrog, you can have inkFrog update available quantities on both platforms for you as sales are made.

• If you sell an item on Amazon, inkFrog can also decrease your eBay inventory for that product appropriately

• If you sell an item on eBay, inkFrog can also decrease your Amazon inventory for that product appropriately

• If you replenish your inventory on eBay or Amazon, inkFrog can update available inventory on the other platform for you to reflect the most recent inventory information you've provided

Once again the way in which this synchronization occurs is highly configurable, enabling you to think about your inventory as the number of products that you actually have on hand—rather than having to try to strategize about or balance the way in which you allocate inventory to each platform, and rather than having to try to manage two separate inventory numbers (one on eBay and one on Amazon) for each product.

You can easily customize how inkFrog's listing and inventory synchronization work.

5. Can I use inkFrog to help me to import my eBay listings to Amazon?

inkFrog is not able to quickly create a full complement of Amazon product listings from an existing body of your eBay listings.

6. Can I still use inkFrog somehow if I started selling on eBay first, and now want to add Amazon?

Yes. Even though inkFrog does not create Amazon listings for you, you can indicate to inkFrog that an eBay listing and an Amazon listing are the same product in your inventory.

Once you've done this, inkFrog can synchronize your eBay and Amazon listings and inventory just as described above. This means that even if you are an eBay-first seller that is looking to add Amazon sales to your business, you can still use inkFrog to save considerable time and effort and accelerate your business.

7. Does inkFrog provide e-commerce market research?

Yes. inkFrog provides advanced research that can tell you:

• Which products are selling in which niches at which prices

• What the top selling products in each niche are

• What the hottest products in the market are overall

• Which companies are seeing sales success, using which marketing strategies

inkFrog's e-commerce research is based on eBay data, so it is most directly applicable to sales and sales strategies on eBay—but the information in inkFrog research is also broadly applicable to e-commerce as a whole, including Amazon sales.

inkFrog research is based on eBay sales, but can offer clues about Amazon strategies as well.

That is to say that if a particular product is in the top ten products on eBay for the holiday season, it's a good starting assumption that demand on Amazon is strong as well. Conversely, if a product simply doesn't see any eBay sales, it's a good starting assumption that sales on Amazon will be limited as well.
