Case Study: carsRus quadruples eBay sales with Rithum

carsRus Specialist Car Parts Supplier Quadruples Sales on eBay

carsRus is a Sunshine Coast–based specialist discount mail-order supplier of car parts that began selling on eBay in 2007. As the business grew, manually managing eBay listings and inventory became time-consuming and error-prone, leading to missed sales and the risk of overselling. The company needed a scalable, automated solution to synchronize product data across its eBay store and webstore and handle higher sales volume efficiently.

By implementing ChannelAdvisor Marketplaces, carsRus automated inventory management, listing creation, order fulfillment and reporting, preventing oversells and making thousands of listings visible and manageable on eBay. The results were dramatic: sales on eBay grew more than 400%, the team expanded from 2 to 12 staff, the warehouse now holds 3,000+ product lines, and the company’s turnover reached $3.5–4M while moving to substantially larger premises.
