There are lots of platforms available for you to list your items with, so make sure to do your own research, but here are some of the key features of AutoDS:

 

  • With AutoDS, the full item specifics of the products will be uploaded from their source sites, along with an SEO-optimized description to satisfy eBay Cassini.
  • AutoDS adds product pictures using the description keywords from item titles which helps your listings to be promoted on eBay in multiple stores.
  • AutoDS can help improve your sell-through rate using their profitability monitor which automatically removes bad selling products and adjusts product prices (based on a defined profit calculation), allowing for smart product optimization – saving you time and eBay fees.
  • AutoDS helps with order fulfillment and automatically uploads tracking information and sends messages to customers which allows them to manage their expectation on the shipping time. This will help boost your positive reviews from your amazing customers.

Why should you integrate ZIK Analytics with AutoDS?

AutoDS integrates seamlessly with ZIK Analytics. By combining these industry leading automation tools you can export all of the trending products that you found with ZIK in order to create eBay listings with ease, which will allow you to save hours!

  • Once setup, you can import products from ZIK Analytics to AutoDS in just a few clicks, saving endless time compared to adding the items manually.
  • You can edit information from these product imports such as the eBay titles from within ZIK Analytics so that you’ll be ready to list them as soon as you click to upload to AutoDS tools.
  • All the products that you upload from ZIK Analytics will have the tag of “Zik upload” inside the AutoDS dashboard so you can easily filter through your listings. This is especially handy if you import hundreds of products and you need to keep things organized.

Remember, before you can list your items with AutoDS, you’ll need to create a list of items that you wish to export. We’ll show you how to do that below.

How to build your items list in ZIK Analytics, ready to export to AutoDS

Creating an item folder

To organize all the items that you wish to list with AutoDS, you need to create an item folder. Once you have an item folder, you can save any hot items you find whilst using any of the tools included with ZIK Analytics such as the manual scanner.

Creating an item folder is very straightforward and can only takes 2 simple steps:

  1. From the ZIK Analytics dashboard, go to My Products

  1.  Type a folder name, description and then click add folder

Once you click “Create Folder”, the folder will appear.

If you don’t create a folder you will still be able to save items, however any item you save will appear in the “unorganized folder”.

Adding items to your item folder using the Manual Scanner

You can add items to a folder anytime you use the category research, competitor research or product research tools. Here’s how:

  1. After doing a search, you should have a list of products.

Look for the Box with green check markBlack box and Red box buttons to the side of any product. A green button means that ZIK Analytics has a 99% matching item found on Amazon, where a Black box represents a similar product and a red button means ZIK Analytics is unable to find it and you’ll need to search manually.

 

  1. Click on the Box button next to the item you wish to save

 

If you click on a Box with a green checkmark button, a popup will appear showing the item on Amazon and on eBay like the one below:

However if you click on a red box button, a popup will appear like the one below instead, as ZIK Analytics is unable to locate the item on Amazon automatically.

For these items, you’ll need to manually locate the ASIN and then click “Reload” under the Reload ASIN box. To locate the ASIN, you can search for the product image or part of the product description in Google.

  1. Select the folder you want to save your items to and click “Save”

Your items will now be ready in your folder, ready to be uploaded to AutoDS.

Adding items using the Bulk Scanner with ZIK Pro Tools

If you’re subscribed to ZIK Pro Tools, you can also add items to folders using the bulk scanner. After scanning a seller, you’ll have a list of all the items they’re selling.

You can filter by profit, sales, price, sales range and upload date and then use the checkboxes on the side to select some or all of the items you wish to save.

Once you’ve decided, simply select the folder from the dropdown box and click “move”.

Bonus tip: Edit your titles before uploading your listings to AutoDS

Before you upload your listings, you need to make sure you’ve optimized your eBay titles so you get as many sales as possible.

Luckily you can do this very easily from within the item folders (via My Products).

You should hover over your eBay title within your folder to see an edit button for the Title. When you click it you will be able to edit the Title (as well as ASIN, and prices).
