As you work to build a successful business on eBay, the right software tools will improve your results, leverage your time and save you money. They will also help put your business on a professional  footing. There are many excellent tools available; some are free and others charge fees and all provide different services. I have listed a number of tools in this chapter to help you choose the ones that best suit your circumstances, including Product Sourcing and Public Domain websites. Once you have built a client base in Australia you may wish to broaden your horizons to sell overseas and build an international customer base. As you grow you can make the world your oyster!

Now that you are at the Income Replacement Level or Business Level of selling on eBay, implementing effective selling strategies to help you gain more sales allows you to build a more successful business and software tools are an integral part of these strategies. For example, tracking your traffic can tell you how the majority of your buyers are getting to your auctions and this is vital to your promotional efforts. When you find the best sources of your traffic you can put money into that area and this can boost your profits.

Tools make life easier and leverage your output; a man with a tractor can do the work of six men with shovels. We use tools for eBay in the same way, to leverage your
time so you can produce more and gain more income. I have already mentioned a few which are particularly useful and necessary at the business level; however, there
are many others. Some of these tools are fee based, from $2 per month up to $40 per month all providing different services.
