## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **If you're small or just adding marketplaces to an existing shop**
> 
> 1. **Sellbrite** - the one I'd start with for most small retail shops. Free up to 30 orders/month, then $29/mo (Pro 100) up to $179/mo (Pro 2K). Covers Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Google Shopping plus Shopify/BigCommerce/WooCommerce storefronts. It's owned by GoDaddy and does the core job - one catalog, synced inventory, pooled orders - without an implementation project.
> 2. **Veeqo** - free, because Amazon owns it and uses it to pull sellers into Buy Shipping. Genuinely good shipping-rate access and order/inventory management. Best fit if Amazon is your biggest channel; weaker if you want it to be channel-neutral.
> 
> **If you're mid-market and outgrowing spreadsheets**
> 
> 3. **Linnworks** - the default pick for multichannel retailers scaling up. Strong automation rules and listing management across a wide channel set. Flat fee up to about $1,499/mo with an order cap, so watch the overage terms.
> 4. **Sellercloud** - my pick over Linnworks if you're high-volume with messy, specific workflows (kitting, multi-warehouse, FBA mixed with your own fulfil
