  • Inventory and listings. 
    • Standard accounts list items one at a time. 
    • Business accounts can manage a full inventory — uploading and updating multiple listings at once, syncing from Shopify (Storefronts), or automatically importing inventory from a DMS (Motors). 
  • Promotion tools. 
    • Standard listings can be promoted one at a time. 
    • Business accounts get access to professional promotion tools, bulk promotions, and analytics dashboard to track listing performance.
  • Customer connection.
