Marketworks Launches New Program Allowing Online Sellers to Sell Through Amazon.com with No Subscription Fees for 3 Months

(PRWEB) July 11, 2007 -- Marketworks, a multi-channel e-commerce software solutions provider, has launched a new program that allows online sellers to sell through Amazon.com with no subscription fees for three months.

Starting today, individuals and companies interested in selling online can sign up with Marketworks at www.marketworks.com where, with one single solution, they can manage their e-commerce business including multiple marketplaces and web store sales as well as automatically integrate with Amazon.com. By choosing this option, they will be registered as an Amazon.com Pro Merchant. Typically Amazon.com Pro Merchants pay $39.99 per month to list their products on Amazon.com without paying the $0.99 per-sale fee charged to other Amazon Marketplace sellers for access to volume selling tools and management software. This means that Amazon Pro Merchants can offer their products to the tens of millions of Amazon.com customers for a sales commission of just 6 to 15 percent depending on the product category.

Marketworks’ integration with Amazon means that Marketworks sellers can also manage their Amazon listings using their Marketworks account. Additionally, all Amazon sales will be fed to their Marketworks account from which they fulfill Amazon orders as well as orders from their own web store and other e-commerce channels.

“This is a great opportunity for any business that has considered selling through Amazon.com, but held back because of the $39.99 monthly Pro Merchant fee,” said Tim Mirick, Director, Amazon Business Solutions. “With this offer from Marketworks, virtually any business can sell through Amazon with full support from Marketworks and all the benefits of the Amazon Pro Merchant Program—with no up-front costs.”

“Marketworks makes it possible for sellers to have a comprehensive online business where they sell through many different channels—all from a single solution,” said Paul Lundy, Marketworks Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re excited to offer this opportunity so that businesses can see the value that Amazon really offers for selling online.”

Marketworks offers one of the most comprehensive e-commerce solutions available in the market today, including:

•   Providing channel management and sales automation to the Internet’s most popular shopping channels
