eBay Certified Solution Provider Marketworks announced a partnership with Royal Mail to deliver a one-stop-shop solution for sellers who want to start trading on eBay.co.uk.

UK retailers can tap into eBay's global trading platform, but still concentrate on core sales channels, by using the Marketworks and Royal Mail partnership to manage all aspects of an eBay operation - from storefront design, item listing and order management, online marketing activities through to product warehousing and goods fulfillment. Initially the service will be limited to UK-based merchants.

Marketworks has provided eBay sales management software and services since 2000 and is says it is eBay's largest Certified Solution Provider facilitating more than one million transactions monthly.

The partnership combines Royal Mail's expertise in broader supply chain solutions and warehousing with Marketworks' eBay and ecommerce expertise.

Kyle Antcliff, Vice-President International, Marketworks, said: "What we have found is that large companies want the brand exposure and growth but don't want to deal with taking on the burden of developing a new channel. He said, "To this end, Royal Mail and Marketworks have developed a turnkey offering that aims to maximize the benefit but minimize organizational headaches associated with the channel."
