Sku Grid & Hydra Lister v DSM Tool - Watch Me Start an Ebay Store Pt. 3

so now that I've had a few days to really try out DSM tool I kind of wanted to give a rough review of it and my thoughts on it so far so really my thoughts so far is that this software is awesome it's really user friendly it works really well it's really fast so this is what the dashboard looks like it will tell you when you last listed your item which is kind of like an incentive to you know list more this tells you all your sales statistics which are pretty sad right now but this store is only a couple days old let's tells you what your plan is I'm still on the free plan I've maxed it out and this will show you your limit and this kind of amazed me because this is a brand new store for me and yet my limit is nine over nine hundred items over twenty two thousand dollars and I know that eBay will give you a higher limit if you're already a seller but I never called them and told them that so somehow this brand new store has a high limit and I'm wondering if that's because I use the same PayPal account for it but I'm not sure of that if you scroll down it will show you here the last items that were changed in the stock prices and any feedback you got here there's some other tabs here on the side these are some templates that you can use for the listings they give you some for free honestly I think these are pretty bad these templates so what I did was I took this one and edited it and kind of made it my own the way I want it because the other ones were just a little bit cheesy for me I didn't like it it's pretty easy to edit them and then I made this one which doesn't look anything like this so I'm not sure why it looks like that but yeah the next one is the next tab down is called rapid Lister this is where you actually list the item super easy to use you just put in the URL which where which marketplace you want to market it to and then you choose your template right and these are the sources you can list from Amazon UK Walmart Alex Press Home Depot these so it's like nine or ten of them and then you click here Oh show you the all the items you're monitoring but I don't want to show that because and I want to show you what I'm selling this will show you any sales and any orders which right now are none for me but that's going to change soon and your profit estimated there's also a plugin for Chrome and that will help you quickly order items but kind of like automates the process a little bit it definitely looks like it's going to go much faster I'm excited to use that basically just when every time you open up a paypal email it'll copy the address and the item number search for in DSM tool I'll automatically open up the item in Amazon or Walmart set the quantity and the address and all you have to do is click the Buy button very quickly so that's what it does all it is it's very user friendly it's very easy to look at now compare that to the software I've been using from my old store which is skew grid and hydrolysed err and this is skew grid skew grids the one that monitors the price and it has when you load it up it has all the items here you scroll down you'll see them all as well as the price and how much it is on the suppliers website and the last time was updated and normally when you start up SKU current this could take like five minutes to load up when you have a lot of items really frustrating and then this is hydro Lister which we use to list the item use put in the item URL here click Add and then you kind of edit some stuff on the next screen but it's a little bit clunky to use in my opinion these are not very user friendly I've always thought that they were clunky you know you add something in here it sets a default price and every time I try to change the default price it gets messed up it's really frustrating so that's something I don't like about these two what I do like about skew grid and hydro Lister is that they work with so many sources is there some place I can see that would be great Oh mark

yeah supported stores yeah look at them all so many stores the list just goes on and on and on it's a lot of them whereas DSM tool like I said only works with those few stores this list so SKU Guren and Hydra Lister aren't really user friendly because they focused more of their time on adding new suppliers whereas DSM tool seems like they want to make a really good experience and make these stores work really well on their website the other big difference between them is the price so skew grid so Hydra Lister is 80 bucks a month for unlimited listings but skew grid runs off this really confusing credit system right so you have to buy a bunch of credits and then they use different credits depending on what it's doing so it's like a credit to add an item a credit to check an item and credit to change the price of the item credit to add something back into stock it's confusing and it's really easy to get really expensive very quickly so let's say you have 2,000 items let's see and let's say you want to check in every hour well let's actually do 150 items and you'll want to check it every hour right it's estimated you're going to use hundred was this one hundred and forty thousand four hundred credits per month so that's $30 per month just for skew grid to check it every hour now let's see how much it would cause for DSM tool come over to the dashboard cuz I have to upgrade myself I want to list some more so I'm going to click here says get more and it says upgrade your free plan so this is a little trick if you're not ready for 300 listings you can move this back to 150 so this is only ten dollars a month this is a third of the cost and guess what this one checks every hour you don't have to worry about credits or anything it's much less confusing so this one kind of encourages you to check them less often because you don't want to spend as much money which is another great reason I really like DSM tool so it's really about what you want to do with the software if you're looking for something that's really easy to do you know you're only going to use these few sources like Home Depot Walmart Amazon Aliexpress home Kmart target then this is really the one to go with it's much cheaper much easier but if you really want to branch out into a bunch of different sources and try you know try to beat out your competition by using sources they're not then this is the one to go with now originally I went with scooter in Hydra Lister because it's the one that everyone was saying to use and at the time not many if any of the other sources had the option for Home Depot I think DSM tool only added Home Depot within like the last six months or so because I don't remember seeing it when I checked it originally so I'm considering actually moving everything from my old store over to DSM tool but that's gonna be like a whole process so I'm not sure about that yet but if I was a new seller I'd be using DSM tool because you know they're great software they are anymore suppliers they just don't do it as quickly as Hydra Lister but what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to upgrade my plan to probably the 300 just so I can get more listings going and I hope you guys learn something in this video I hope you know got a good feeling for which software you want to use in my opinion I'll say it again the SM tool is really the way to go if you're looking for something simple and that works really well but if you really want to beat out your competition by having a variety of sources then you should go with secret and Hydra Lister because you just can't beat that all right I hope you guys enjoy the video if you liked it give it a thumbs up subscribe and I'll see you guys in the next one for the next segment of this
