AI tools for resellers
Reselling products isn’t always the quickest or simplest route to making money online. It takes time to source products, take appealing photos, create attention-grabbing headlines and accurate descriptions, without considering the time it takes to respond to messages, handle postage and respond to buyer feedback.
But, thanks to the development of AI, there is a growing number of innovative platforms designed specifically for resellers, developed with a view to making the process quicker and easier.
In this article, our team takes a look at reseller AI tools and explores their applications so you sell more, faster. It’s worth noting that while some offer free versions or trials, many work on a subscription or credit-based model, so be sure to check platform fees before you commit.
AI for product descriptions
AI product description generators are arguably some of the biggest timesavers available to resellers and there’s a lot to choose from. Some AI tools are full product listing generators, including headlines, while others simply generate a product description.
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to generate an AI product description is to paste notes about your items into ChatGPT. It will take your key information and use it to generate a flowing, clear product description that gives potential buyers the information they need. This has a free model with output limits so you don’t have to invest in a premium subscription.
AI image description generators, such as DescriptionLab and Modelia, can scan your product images and create an AI product description based on that photo. It will detail key features and flaws before producing a listing that is engaging and free from spelling mistakes.
If you are already familiar with bulk upload functionality, you could even request that the AI tool supplies the product listings in the correct format, such as a table in CSV files, with the relevant information in relevant columns.
As a word of warning, we recommend thoroughly checking AI-generated product descriptions before you upload them to your chosen platforms. You need to ensure that the text is accurate and any flaws are listed clearly.
AI for product images
As we’ve covered in a previous article about product photographs, it can be challenging to generate scroll-stopping images of your products if you’re not a professional photographer. That’s where AI product image generators can help.
The best AI for generating product images takes your photos and uses them to produce professional-looking photos for you to share on your listings. For clothes, for instance, some tools produce images of AI-generated models wearing the items that you’re selling. Or they could take items and place them in an attractive environment with perfect lighting. Tools such as Kive and Fashn.Ai have user-friendly interfaces to make this simple.
AI photo-editing tools can help you polish your own images. Adobe Express and Canva both feature AI functionality that can tune your lighting, contrast and framing to ensure that your images look as great as they can be. They can even cut the items out, so you can place them on a white background.
It’s important to note that several platforms, including Vinted, have rules around image usage. Vinted explicitly prohibits the use of images that aren’t your own, as well as image editing, which could encompass AI use. There is concern that the images may be inaccurate or misleading. Be sure to check each platform’s rules before using AI image tools.
AI for product pricing
If you’re just starting out or have an unusual item to sell, it can be challenging to set the right price. Pitch too low and you won’t make your money back, but set the price too high and you could put potential buyers off.
But a growing number of AI pricing tools can help you get this right. 3DSellers Price Suggestion tool and Underpriced, for example, review product trends to identify similar product listings and sales so you can see what your item is likely to be worth before listing it.
AI for cross listing
If you’ve been reselling online for a while, you’re likely to see the appeal of listing your items on multiple platforms. However, you may have been discouraged by the time it takes. It can also lead to problems, especially if you’re not on top of your inventory. For instance, if a product sells on eBay, you need to remember to remove the item from Vinted. If you don’t, it could result in disappointed customers and negative reviews, which could harm your online reselling business.
AI cross-listing tools are designed specifically for these situations. These apps and tools can upload your images, descriptions, prices and more across several reselling platforms instantly. Some can remove items from all platforms if they sell. Others can even delist and relist items if they don’t sell within your chosen time frame, saving you the time and effort of doing it yourself.
If you’re looking into cross-listing software with AI-assisted features, there’s a host of options to choose from including Nifty, Vendoo, Crosslist and Sellbrite.
AI for full product management
Of course if you’re looking to supercharge your selling activity there is a small but growing number of platforms extending AI use beyond individual listing tasks and into managing entire stores.
If you’re confident with advanced set ups, some marketplaces allow you to connect AI agents directly so they can handle day-to-day activities on your behalf. Tradly, for example, allows compatible agents to look up product information, update listings and manage orders without you needing to log in. There may be an initial time investment getting these platforms set up in a way that works for you, but it’s likely that functionality will become simpler to use as tools mature.
