eBay has launched a service to help large merchants sell thousands of fixed-price products via eBay.

The new program, Large Merchant Services, is still in beta, according to eBay. It “provides an efficient way to process large numbers of transactions within the eBay Trading Platform.” It also offers inventory management based on SKU numbers.

“EBay is acknowledging the strength of Amazon’s model and clearly they’re making changes to target the same enterprise branded-seller market upon which Amazon has built their third-party seller program,” said Eric Best, CEO of Mercent, a Seattle-based company that helps retailers take advantage of eBay’s new service.
