Trainz.com Boosts e-Commerce Revenues with the eBay Partner Network
Thursday, October 9th, 2008Trainz.com is an e-commerce website specifically built for the model train enthusiast. Started in the late nineties by Scott Griggs, a lifelong model train hobbyist and salesman, Trainz.com sells collectible and new model trains, as well as scenery and materials for model train tracks.
Trainz.com sells inventory on its own website as well as on eBay, conducting about 4,000 total transactions per month. Since much of its inventory is sold on eBay, Trainz.com has incorporated links to its eBay inventory all over its website, encouraging visitors to check eBay as well as Trainz.com for the particular product they’re looking for.
