SkuFlow plans to launch a book marketplace by early May, promising booksellers an alternative to Amazon, eBay and their competitors.
Sellers will pay Abookworld a 10 percent commission, which will cover the processing of buyer credit-card payments. Or, sellers can pay a $9.99 monthly fee and collect buyer payments themselves, said Chris Hendrix, owner of SkuFlow and Abookworld.
The new site is recruiting collectibles dealers, as well as sellers of new and used books. After the bookselling operation is launched, Hendrix plans to expand into music and video sales.
Sellers will be able to upload inventory to Abookworld using text files, Amazon Pro-Merchant reports, or UIEE exports from BookTrakker, HomeBase or other software.
Several new bookselling sites have flopped in the last two years after sellers complained of meager sales. Abookworld might have success luring unhappy sellers from ABE.com, which recently announced a series of unpopular policy changes.
SkuFlow offers a variety of inventory systems for retail merchants, and operates a wholesale book business called myremainders.com.
