Tamebay: eBay Tools and Services Guide 2011

TameBay is owned and written by Chris Dawson and Sue Bailey, two British ecommerce professionals. Between us we have traded on eBay for over two decades, and have more than 70,000 positive feedback comments (and just 2 negs!).

Chris and Sue met on eBay UK's PowerSeller forum longer ago than either of them like to admit. By October 2006, both had become frustrated with eBay's inability to keep their users informed of new features on the site, with the impenetrability of eBay's help pages, and with the lack of a UK- and Europe-centered news site for all things ecommercial. In a moment between classes at eBay University, Dan Wilson said what were to be fatal words: "you need a blog". TameBay is the result.

Since the launch in 2006 TameBay has grown to be one of the definitive sources for eBay news, tips, tricks and trading advice. Over 50,000 readers visit the site each month making TameBay one of the best places on the Internet to keep up to date with everything eBay and to network with fellow eBay professional sellers.

We're thrilled to publish the first edition of the TameBay eBay Tools and Services Guide 2011 which brings together all of the tools we've used to run our businesses over the years.

As an eBay business grows there becomes a need to simplify and automate many of the day to day tasks you will be undertaking. Everything from listing an item on eBay, printing and posting your sales, managing your customer communications and expanding your eBay business onto other marketplaces, your own website, shopping comparison sites and using paid search can be done manually. However the use of appropriate tools to manage these processes can automate the functions, perform tasks more effectively and save time and costs freeing you up to manage your business.

Many of the tools in this guide are little known apps which can make a huge contribution to the way you run your eBay business. Others are better known, but you may not have had time to fully investigate the products and services they offer. Whether it is a utility to make printing your labels and invoices automatic, or a fully fledged multi-channel ecommerce management platform you'll find what you're looking for in the following pages.

We'd like to thank all of the companies who have supported us in creating this guide, the many people who support us with content for the site, Dan Wilson for the original suggestion that we should launch TameBay and most importantly of all you and all our many other thousands of readers who visit TameBay, comment on TameBay and who have made the site what it is today.

Best wishes
Sue and Chris
