About Bol
When bol started in 1999, the range consisted of 140,000 Dutch-language books. That number has now grown to more than 33 million items, spread over more than 20 product categories.
The main product categories are books and e-books, films, games, electronics and toys. In addition, there are also baby items, garden and handyman items, home items, pet supplies, sports items, leisure items and personal care products.
Since 2011, bol’s range has also been opened to external sellers. This means that shops and other companies can also sell their products via bol.
This development has several advantages for customers and sellers. This gives customers access to an even wider range, while sellers can increase their reach and turnover. Bol also benefits from this, because the company receives a small commission per product sold.
Start selling
Registering as a bol seller is a simple and cost-free process. Even uploading your product range can be done effortlessly using a spreadsheet or the marketplace’s API. However, that’s only the beginning. Achieving the maximum potential from your bol account requires expertise in competitive pricing, SEO, advertising, product listings, smart content, customer service, logistics, and strategy. That’s where a marketplace specialist can be invaluable.
