Advanced Ecommerce Research Systems (AERS) said the deal with PayPal expanded the scope of its Terapeak tool, which until now has been primarily used by eBay sellers as a source of data on average historical prices and bidding activity for products listed on the auction site.
Fred Speckeen (pictured), CEO of AERS, said: “This new toolset allows sellers to put a microscope over their [PayPal] accounts and gain a thorough understanding of their customers. We’ve created a bookkeeper that never sleeps.”
PayPal is owned by eBay and is one of the most commonly-used payment systems on the site.
