What makes eBay work for a dealer
- Accurate quantities. Overselling a part you don't have leads to cancellations. Tie eBay quantities to Lightspeed instead of typing them in.
- Clear titles. Brand, part type, part number and the vehicles it fits, in plain words buyers search for.
- Prices that still make money. Account for eBay's fees and your shipping cost, and stay at or above MAP.
- Fast shipping with tracking. Buy the label, ship, and upload tracking the same day.
- Orders that reach your DMS. Every eBay sale should be invoiced in Lightspeed like a counter sale.
