SELLING PARTS & ACCESSORIES THROUGH AMAZON & EBAY<\/b><\/h3>\n

With new car sales and collision repair declining, selling parts online can make up for dealership revenue loss<\/span>. Selling online through marketplaces like Amazon and eBay is a great way to add new sales channels and revenue while reaching more customers. There is still plenty of opportunity for dealers not already online to join in on the increasing revenue gains through online marketplaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what will it cost you to successfully sell parts and accessories on Amazon and eBay? We did the math just to show you how much time and money your dealership will save by partnering with RevolutionParts instead of doing it on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

THE CHALLENGES OF DOING IT YOURSELF<\/b><\/h3>\n

Managing Amazon and eBay listings effectively often requires additional resources. Relying on your Parts Manager to create and optimize listings, adjust shipping prices, and monitor sales will require a lot of time in order to be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of managing all the existing orders coming in from the phone and the service department, it\u2019s more than likely your Parts Manager is already too busy to dedicate the time required to list your entire inventory online.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just to get 3,000 parts and accessories up on Amazon & eBay, it\u2019ll take your Parts Manager almost <\/span>half of the entire year<\/b>, not including any holidays. That also doesn\u2019t include changes to the listings, parts sold, or new inventory that comes in. At that rate, you could\u2019ve sold thousands of dollars in parts and accessories with RevolutionParts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With man hours like this, you might have to hire additional team members to manage your Amazon and eBay stores. But, hiring an additional salaried employee to take on the responsibility of these online sites could cost your parts department and dealership anywhere <\/span>between $50,000-$70,000 a year<\/b>. This cost doesn\u2019t even include your listing fees on Amazon and eBay.<\/span><\/p>\n
