The Terapeak team just got a bit more international!

We’re very excited today to announce a brand new partnership with 500RPM, a Japanese service provider for Japan-based eBay sellers. Known predominately for translation and eBay assistance solutions, 500RPM will soon provide a locally-translated Terapeak tool, along with a dedicated, Japan-based support team.

As you’re well aware by now, we place a lot of importance on global brand representation, and we constantly stress the value of branching out into international markets. Now, with the introduction of “Terapeak Japan,” Terapeak is available locally in six countries: USA, Canada, France, Germany, China and Japan!

Of course, this exciting news complements a very international year for Terapeak: in June, we hosted our first international conference here in beautiful Victoria, and in July, founders Anthony and Andrew Sukow spoke at the G8 Young Business Summit in Stresa, Italy.

Again, we’re happy and proud to welcome the 500RPM folks to the Terapeak team, and we look forward to bringing you news from Terapeak Japan!

If you’re a Terapeak All-Sites subscriber, you may have noticed a new “International” tab in your Search menu this morning…

What that is is our brand new International search tool!

Basically, it’s a new report that allows you to search six eBay sites at once (US, UK, CAN, AUS, GER, FRA) and compare the sales of each in terms of Successful Listings, Sell-Through, Average Price, Buyer Country Sales Distribution, Seller Country Sales Distribution, and Transaction Site Sales Distribution. Click on the following screenshot for a closer look (a fourth pie chart is cut off at the bottom, but you get the point!):

Here at Terapeak, we’re excited about the possibilities and new found ease of optimizing which eBay site to sell on, as closing prices can vary quite drastically from country to country. Now, with this international arbitrage feature, one single search can show you which of the six sites offers the best venue for your product.

Again, this feature is available free of charge to anyone with an All-Sites subscription. And stay tuned in the coming days for more news and examples of how this new tool can be used!
