Integration with Ebay?

[ajacobs]

Hello,
We are a small business looking at using Miva Merchant 5 to build our website.
I have some questions and would really appreciate any feedback.

First, does Miva have a module to integrate with Ebay? What about Amazon.com?

Also, as far as putting together a website, what sort of level of technical expertise is needed? Do we need a programmer, or would someone with some technical knowledge suffice - ie, some HTML, some CSS, some Dreamweaver..

Thank you so much!

I have a Miva 5 store, www.BestFriendsGeneralStore.com (http://www.bestfriendsgeneralstore.com/) and also sell through an eBay store. I integrate these on the back end by using StoneEdge Order Manager and Blackthorne listing software. I have to juggle my inventory between these two channels, but it is not too time consuming. StoneEdge also has modules for Amazon and a variety of shopping carts. M.O.M., another order management tool, also provides similar options.

I understand it is fairly easy to set-up your own Miva 5 store. However, I have a similar background as you, and I decided to use a designer/developer. It was money well spent because my site looks professional and inspires consumer confidence.
