Use These New Vendoo Tools to Simplify Your Reselling (and Save Time!)

I love reselling, but there are days where it can feel overwhelming and all of my tasks seem to pile up. Between sourcing, taking photos, creating listings, doing research, etc. it’s easy to feel like there are too many things to get done. Finding ways to optimize, simplify, and save time can really help you run a more successful, streamlined business. A business that is less likely to lead to burnout, which is honestly so common in the reselling world! That’s why I’m always looking for ways to save my time and my energy (mental and physical!)

When I find tools to make these tasks easier, it means I have more time to do other things like source or simply have more mental space. One of my favorite tools for reselling is Vendoo, so when I saw that they added even more tools, I thought it was time to talk about them!

In this post, I’ll go over three new Vendoo tools that will help you improve your reselling workflow.

Note: This post is sponsored by Vendoo, a company I’ve partnered with because I have been a subscriber for years and truly think it’s a beneficial tool for resellers.

Never heard of Vendoo?

If you’re not familiar, Vendoo started out as a cross listing tool that helps you to list your items on multiple marketplaces to increase your chances of making sales. But that was just the beginning! I signed up when it first launched, but now there are tons of other features like analytics, bulk delisting and relisting, etc.

The best thing about Vendoo is that it’s almost like a command center or hub for my whole reselling business. I’m working in there daily to list, manage my inventory, relist items to refresh them, change pricing, look at analytics, see my sales, and more. It’s like a complete reselling solution and I couldn’t recommend it more. If you want to check it out you can use this link for a discount.

Now let’s look at some of the new tools Vendoo provides to all users!

Vendoo’s Mobile App

The first thing I want to talk about is the Vendoo Mobile App! I know a lot of resellers like to run as much of their business as possible from their phone, so if that’s you: you need this app! Here are some of the things you can do right on your phone:

• Edit photos: adjust cropping, improve brightness, and remove backgrounds.
• Create & manage listings: create a brand new listing, add or change details, etc.
• Mark sold items: when an item sells, you can mark it as sold and record the sale price and any fees to see your profit
• Check analytics: see your revenue and profit for any time period and find metrics like average sale price, most popular marketplace, and more

How I use it

The funny thing is I prefer to do 95% of my reselling tasks on the computer, but I still use the app on my phone to do things like check my analytics and see which items have sold while I’m out in my garage pulling items to ship each day.

It’s really perfect for those moments when you’re not in front of a computer and think of something you need to get done. I find myself opening it up in the car or waiting at appointments to tweak things, make drafts live, or check to see how I’m doing this month.

eBay Price Checker

There are two things you can do to improve your income as a reseller: be more efficient and price correctly. Vendoo makes this super easy because instead of opening a separate window to do an ebay search to research your items as you list, Vendoo has included an eBay price checker directly on the Vendoo listing page.

The price checker uses your title to pull real time pricing data from eBay and shows the average listed price and average sold price. There’s also a click quick to pop open a window to the eBay product research page if you want to look into it further.

While I’ve just started to use this tool, it feels like a huge improvement to my reselling workflow. Because, let’s be real, sometimes we get so sucked into research that it ends up taking too much time, which means you’re listing less items.

Now you can get a solid idea of how to price your item and help with that decision making. And if you do want to dig in a little more before deciding on a price? Simply click that “open” link to open the product research page with the search already done for you.

How I use it

SinceI use a VA to help me draft my listings to save me time, I have some pretty long, specific titles with lots of keywords. The price checker uses the title to find prices and will often not find anything for the title I have so I will copy and paste my title into the description and remove some of the keywords so it’s a more basic title that is more likely to pull up results. Then once I see what I need to, I’ll put the title back to how it was by copying and pasting it back from the description.

Auto Sale Detection & Delist

If you sell on multiple platforms, you may have experienced selling an item on two marketplaces at once and the stress of having to cancel one of those orders. I know it’s happened to me a few times! Vendoo’s auto sale detection with auto delist solves this problem and you don’t even have to do anything once you have it set up.

When you turn this on for the supported platforms, Vendoo automatically detects when an item sells on one platform and instantly removes it from the others. That means you don’t have to scramble to your phone or computer to delist anything manually when you get a sale. This not only saves you time, but also saves you from disappointing your customers and potentially impacting your reputation on that marketplace.

With this, you can also see all of your sales under the “Sold” tab which saves you from going to each marketplace to check for sales daily. It really does help streamline and simplify things in my reselling business and might be the best hands off tool they have!

How I use it

I simply turned it on and that’s it! It will automatically detect my sales and delist my items from other platforms. One thing to note is if there are any offers on items, it will not get delisted. It’ll show a little icon saying there’s an issue next to that item so you can go in and delist it once that offer expires. 

Reselling is one of those more hands on businesses where you can’t always automate or use tools to make things easier. But somehow Vendoo just keeps coming up with new, unique features that truly help resellers. These are just a few of the great features and tools included when you sign up for Vendoo.
