What is AuctionAware?
I already have my eBay account and use a variety of tools to manage my eBay sales, why should I switch?
Where did the name AuctionAware come from?
AuctionAware is both a product and a service for accessing the most active consumer-related online marketplace in the world - eBay. The AuctionAware product is used to faciliate all aspects of the eBay workflow, from the creation of listings, through auction clearinghouse.
From a services perspective, AuctionAware provides support for both the technical elements of the product, as well as your store and its eBay operations. Selling online is a difficult proposition for most and there are many nuances to effectively opening a sales channel on eBay as many of our clients can attest to. With AuctionAware you get both a product and services company committed to helping you achieve better sales online.
This is a typical question we get and, we believe, makes the case for using AuctionAware. Today, many store owners use a plethora of tools to manage their business processes -- sourcing, merchandising, purchasing, fulfillment, and so on. Having an integrated product to assist or meld these processes takes the human intervention and error out of the process that is so typically indemic to the process.
With AuctionAware PRO, storeowners can now pass listing information to eBay and receive post-auction clearinghouse results seamlessly and in most cases automatically, thus simpflying the work associated with managing auctions and most importantly closing sales.

Where did the name AuctionAware come from?
When we were deciding on a name for our company and product we went through MANY iterations and variations on a theme; however, we continually seemed to come up against either names already in use or domains that were taken and not for sale. The idea for AuctionAware came as a result of our exasperation in finding a useful name and realizing exactly what our product should do, that is, make your store and by extension your customers aware that you sell products at auction, hence the company name and tagline were born.
Much to our collective chagrin however we found that the name was already taken, but it was for sale at, of all things, auction. We took this to be a sign that the name was right for us and a few short bids and one reserve price met later, AuctionAware LLC and the AuctionAware Product Suite were successfully underway.
