Automatic Alerts Revolutionize Wholesale Supply for eBay Sellers

February 1, 2007 – eBay is fast becoming a leading source of wholesale supply for eBay sellers and entrepreneurs. However the enormous demand for wholesale lots means that they are often snapped up almost as soon as they are listed –much to the chagrin of those who miss out. Of course, not everyone can get what they want, but the SaleHoo Alert team believes that a bigger problem is at work.

“The difficulty with eBay is that wholesale lots can be listed in a number of different categories and using a number of different keywords,” says SaleHoo Alert representative Chad Thompson. “This can make it very difficult to find what you are looking for. Manually, it is a time-consuming process that can literally take hours. You can’t hope to cover everything doing it this way.”

It was this problem that led to the development of SaleHoo Alert. The new software has been designed to automatically notify users immediately whenever wholesale lots for products they are looking for are listed. This eradicates the need for users to search manually – they only need to click through on the returned listings.

Users can input keywords (or ignored keywords) into their search settings so that results are very specific to what they want. They can also search for wholesale lots ending soon, auctions with a buy-it-now option, auctions in certain categories (and sub-categories) or items in certain price ranges. The software also has the capability to search different eBay sites. Users can choose from eBay Motors, USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Spain, France, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Belgium and Italy.

The SaleHoo Alert team says users frequently comment on the increased viability of their businesses with automated alert. “It means they can be working their day job and still be alerted instantly by email whenever new wholesale lots appear,” says Thompson, “SaleHoo Alert is the ultimate tool for people who want to build an eBay business, but still have to hold down a full-time job.”

Thompson is also very proud of the misspellings search feature which the user can choose to activate. “It’s unbelievable how many listings contain misspellings and can be completely missed by regular searches,” he says, “SaleHoo Alert searches for misspellings automatically when this feature is enabled. The power of the misspellings search feature is unprecedented.”

SaleHoo Alert appears to have broken down a major barrier to the success of many eBay entrepreneurs. In the words of Thompson, it is a “timely technology that fulfills a major need.”
