Integration with Facebook

Edwin_Gary

Hey Guys,

I've heard that it's easy to integrate your eBay shop with Facebook using Easy Social Shop app. Did any of you hear about it or use it?

Thank you!

I wonder if another brand new user will come along soon to say how great it is...

Yuck, can't think of anything worse than having my face book friends see how well (or not) my business is going. Does no one have any pride anymore? Friends are friends, work is work, don't mix the two.

I've got no issue with my friends knowing my business. In fact many of them have been very supportive over the last couple of years and have helped spread the word round Facebook and their wider circles of friends which has led to more business for me.

Many of my friends are also ex work colleagues at the company that made us all redundant. Everyone went separate ways into all sorts of different jobs and its always good to find out who is doing what and how they are doing.

I've seen it in action and it is quite good, showing stuff laid out in a grid pattern.

This is a ham radio dealer I know who uses it.

Thats a different one called Ebay Agent - https://www.ebayagent.com. I use it and personally think its better than the one the OP has posted about.

Whilst i think its a good idea, i dont think i'd fancy broadcasting my sales to my Facebook friends.

Hey Sooling,
I get your point, but the idea wasn't to expose my friends to how well (or not) I'm doing... maybe I'm wrong but I just think that I can use my Facebook page as another platform to sell. My friends don't have to go to my shop but if someone wants to buy some of my product they'll have the option... you think that's not a good idea?

Also you may want to take a look at selling on Amazon as I've seen recently a mail about them having Facebook and twitter integrated into their sales process now.

Soolin, I don't think there's anything to stop you having a separate Facebook / twitter account for your business name that way you can post stuff to it and 'like' it as if it were one of your friends and get you other friends to link to it that way. (I would add here that I know next to nothing about social networking sites, guess I should learn, and this may all be total rubbish ).

You can set up a totally separate page from your personal one with no links, you can then invite anyone from your friends you'd want to see it to "like" it. It was pretty easy to just add a page that is your Ebay listings. It is totally free too, so don't be shelling out for those nice people who are charging £100 plus to do it for you.

If you can make an Ebay listing you can integrate a Facebook page, it is that simple.

Hey RFW,
