Selling Through Online Marketplaces

Workshops to help you gain an insight into how to sell online using third party marketplaces such as eBay or Amazon

Invest Northern Ireland is continuing its series of practical and interactive ICT workshops with the next topic focusing on third party e-marketplaces – how to sell on Amazon, ebay etc.

There will be two sessions each day with delegates having the option to choose between either beginner or advanced sessions. The beginner session will be aimed at businesses who have not sold on eBay/Amazon or have only tried to sell on a small scale. The advanced session is for experienced online sellers, seeking to learn about some of the advanced features e.g. multichannel management.

Due to demand it is not possible for delegates to attend both sessions.
