The All Business Auctions concept

The All Business Auctions concept

Our Concept is one of an eBay/online sales services distributor.  All Business Auctions will provide the means for local business owners to take advantage of the marketing giant eBay and allow the business owner chose the level of involvement and invest in the development of their eBay/online sales business as needed. All Business Auctions is a one stop shop providing all necessary options for any type of online sales operation from consignment selling to e-book marketing to Power Seller optimization tools. We try the solutions first and recommend what works to our customers.


All Business Auctions  initially will provide a complete soup to nuts package which will control and oversee every aspect of ebay/online sales for a business. We will simply offer the business owner the tools to success.   We will simplify the process of getting a business and its goods online either via a os-commerce site or more importantly via a linked eBay auction and eBay store presence.  With eBay and a stand alone site driving traffic to one another a client has a higher chance of success but these clients do not have the time or knowledge to know these techniques and most will forgo the internet entirely rather than deal with concepts they are not familiar with.

Example: Mailing Center XYZ has a thriving and robust client base and is quite busy processing packages but the profit margin in shipping is dwindling so they have taken on alternative profit centers. Signs, Business Cards, Etc Etc... The business owner would like to get into eBay but really does not have the time to research all of the options for listing software, template design, accounting, POS, eBay store design, etc etc.  This business owner sees that eBay consignment is a very good match for his business model but he really has no idea where to start. A franchise rep has approached him to buy a eBay drop store franchise but he cannot see the revenue which will pay for the extra overhead a franchise would add to his business. Therefore he has waited to add eBay and has heard from others in his network of other local business owners different stories about how good eBay is, and how eBay can burn him with high fees and other problems. He is still interested in eBay and online sales however and just wants a simple solution.

Along comes All Business Auctions and thier new listing and inventory management software.  Mailing Center XYZ business owner is shown a solution... with All Business Auctions he can effectively and efficiently add eBay to his business and not be out in the cold. He will have full training and support or can even choose to have All Business Auctions handle the entire process post intake in his store.  All Business Auctions software package is web based and easy to learn and use, in fact the entire online portion of our clients business can be operated from anywhere in the world. We can administer and handle the entire process for the client or the client may choose to take on any or all of the listing processes themselves as they gain confidence and learn the system and online sales techniques. This service is available to him on a ala - cart basis and is only charged on a per listing basis.  He can build our cost into his charges to the end customer and he has no long term obligation to use us.  He/She would buy listings posted on eBay and in an eBay store (eventually on Overstock and Amazon as well) pre-packaged in packs of 250 in addition to a small set up fee but other than that he would have no obligation.  He will have the opportunity to add to his eBay/online business at any time with additional services (web development, eBay store optimization, product sourcing, advertising, etc etc) and equipment and he will also have the opportunity to reduce his costs by learning the steps necessary to take on every step of the listing process himself, thus lowering our costs and we pass that savings on to him. When he and his employees have learned the system, we will continue to offer him the listing software packs and support.  

All Business Auctions will get the client started in the right direction and set them up with a custom designed presence on eBay and the web for a fraction of the cost of other options. We can do this by using contractors familiar with each step of the process and who specialize in their own part of the online service world. And by using a web based eBay listing software package which allows for per listing tracking and payment.  This system allows us and the client to control costs and track online sales and inventory in a very exciting and new way.
