The quality of your performance in any e
commerce marketplace whatsoever starts with your approach towards your supply
chain source. This applies all the more in top performing marketplaces like
eBay and Amazon where you cannot take anything for granted. One cannot ignore
though, that this is also the factor that many retailers and resellers
especially the smaller and newer ones tend to ignore. The aftermath of
neglecting the supply chain source can be devastating. Some of them can be
mentioned as follows…
- You may end up underselling or over selling, each of which can impact your business negatively – These are two of the most dangerous inventory associated hassles that are best when avoided. More often than not, the issues arise at the source of supply chain than somewhere in between. This matters at the utmost when eBay Amazon inventory is involved in the process.
- Poor reviews and ratings follow soon after – Both overselling and underselling results in cancellation of orders in the part of the sellers which is not acceptable in any ecommerce marketplaces especially eBay, Amazon, Jet.com, Walmart, Sears, Newegg and Rakuten. Poor ratings and reviews thus, pour in relentlessly that further contributes to pushing sellers to invisibility.
- Amazon and
eBay does not take continuous ‘Out of Stock’ status lightly – When you are
out of touch with your supply chain source or have fallen into serious
mismanagement, there is a possibility that you go out of stock on certain
listings for a really long time. Amazon, eBay or even Walmart.com does not
entertain such slips. When this situation arises, it can pull down your
listing to invisibility or the concerned listing gets scrapped altogether.
You may end up losing your sale history even if it had been very glorious.
Ensuring proper integration of marketplaces
with shopping carts like Shopify eBay,
Magento Amazon etc. and fortifying it further with complete supply chain
integration can help prevent such damaging course of events.
