eBay launched the eBay Apps Center this week to allow all of its sellers to subscribe to third-party tools directly on the eBay platform. It had launched Selling Manager Applications (also called SM Apps or Project Echo) last August, but was only available to Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro subscribers. With its new apps store, sellers can subscribe to any of almost 40 applications that help sellers with tasks such as product sourcing, accounting, research, email-management and shipping. All applications have a free trial - most charge a subscription fee, and there are free applications as well. The eBay Apps Center is found on this page, and developers can learn more on this page.
Meanwhile, Google launched an apps store for business software on Tuesday. The Google Apps Marketplace launched with over 50 applications from companies including Intuit and Atlassian, with more coming soon from companies such as NetSuite and SuccessFactors. Google said it has 25 million users and 2 million business users. Developers can learn more about the Google Apps Marketplace on this page.
