If you’re an eBay seller and want to get your products onto Amazon then there’s a new service that might be worth taking a look at. Export Your Store have an eBay to Amazon export service and all you need to get going is an Amazon seller account.
One of the nice things about the service is how they handle item descriptions. While eBay allow to include images, graphics and HTML code in item description, Amazon restricts the content of the descriptions to text only. During the export Export Your Store strips out HTML from the description on eBay and imports a clean description to Amazon.
Additionally Amazon descriptions have to be generic as other sellers can list against the same ASIN. Product details, should not include any merchant-specific information. This includes business name, pricing information, or shipping information. During the export Export Your Store review and learn the way your eBay description looks and configure their system to automatically adjust your product descriptions to fit Amazon requirements. This stage is complicated, and handled by humans. Based on the number of the listings, the export process may take few days.
There is no back end administration area or new processes to learn, Export your store recognised that sellers are busy people and so enable you to carry on handling your inventory in whichever way you currently manage it. For example, if you are an eBay seller expanding to Amazon, you can continue manage your products on eBay (Add new items, end items, change inventory quantities) and they will do the hard work automatically behind the scenes to make sure that the changes are reflected on Amazon.
Costs vary according to how many products you have but start for sellers with 50 items with one time fee of $19 for export, with ongoing inventory sync and automatic export of new products costing $19 per/month. This rises to $149 for export of 1,000 products with ongoing inventory sync and automatic export costing $29 per/month.

This looks excellent on the surface.
As pricing is in $ does this apply to Amazon UK also?
We manufacture so don’t have bar codes etc, how does that effect the service on offer?
[email protected] if you want to contact me directly.
Hi Whirly,
Having a PRO merchant account on Amazon enables you to list items without barcodes.
We can publish the items to a general category or categories that might fit (if there are similar products).
We’ll contact you right away, see what you manufacture and help you with the process if you like. Thanks for taking interest.

When you can do this to a stand alone website, then I might be interested. 🙂
Great service and very potential products. Have been using export for a while and it’s very beneficial.
Amazon states under product identifier requirements:
‘We require standard product identifiers for most stores. For Baby Products, Camera & Photo, Computer & Video Games, Electronics, Home, Kitchen & Garden, Music, Software, Tools & Hardware, Toys & Games, and Video & DVD, your product must have a UPC or EAN.’
Where do you see that an EAN or UPC is not required to create a product if you have a Pro Merchant account on Amazon.co.uk?
