Software · Crown AutoPlace

eBay orders placed with your supplier in one click.

AutoPlace is the order-placing tool our own team uses every day across our UK eBay stores. Connect your eBay store and your AliExpress account, and every new order lands in a work queue ready to place, pay and track, without copying a single address.

Why we built it

Placing orders by hand is where stores leak time, money and seller level.

We run our own eBay stores on AliExpress suppliers. At volume, manual placing meant copied-wrong addresses, orders slipping past dispatch time, and nobody knowing who placed what. So we built the tool we needed, and now you can use it too.

Wrong addresses

County in the wrong field, eBay reference codes pasted into the supplier order, missed flat numbers. Every one is a return or a case.

Missed dispatch times

Orders placed late ship late. Late Delivery Rate climbs and your seller level is the first thing to go.

No record of who did what

Five people, one spreadsheet, zero accountability. Duplicate orders on one side, forgotten orders on the other.

What AutoPlace does

Everything between “order received” and “order placed”.

One-click and bulk placing

Place a single order, or select up to 20 and place them together. eBay variation details sit beside each item so the right variant is picked every time.

UK address rules built in

The buyer's address is never altered. County is carried into the city field, the supplier county is set correctly, and eBay reference codes are kept out of the order.

Batch Pay and reconciliation

Orders are placed unpaid, then paid in batches on AliExpress from your own account. Paid amounts and statuses flow back so your books match.

SLA queue and alerts

Every unplaced order is sorted by time left against your dispatch promise. Nothing slips past quietly.

Failed orders, handled

Out-of-stock or changed listings go to a Failed tab with an editable supplier ID, so the fix takes seconds instead of a hunt.

Campaign gift add-on

Running a multi-buy promotion? Set one gift item once and it is added to every order automatically, untickable per order.

Coming next: tracking pushed back to eBay automatically, and Stock Guard listing checks.

How it works

Connected in ten minutes. Placing orders the same day.

01

Connect your eBay store

Sign in through eBay's official connection. Orders start syncing every 30 minutes. Your password never touches us.

02

Connect your AliExpress account

Authorise your own AliExpress account. Orders are placed and paid on your account, with your supplier choices.

03

Place, pay, track

Work the queue, place in bulk, pay in batches. One person can now do the work of a placing team.

Built by operators

We are not a software company. We run stores.

Crown Ecommerce is a UK ecommerce management agency. AutoPlace was built for our own placing team and has handled our Q4 peaks before it was ever offered to anyone else. Every rule in it exists because an order once went wrong without it.

Questions

Before you connect a store.

Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp and someone from the placing team will answer, not a bot.

Is my eBay or AliExpress login stored anywhere?
No. Both connections use the platforms' official sign-in, which hands AutoPlace a revocable access token. We never see or store your passwords, and you can disconnect either account at any time.
Who pays the supplier?
You do, on your own AliExpress account. AutoPlace places the orders unpaid; you pay them in batches from your AliExpress basket, with whatever card or balance you normally use. We never hold your money or your card.
What counts as one credit?
One placed supplier order. If an order fails to place (for example, out of stock) no credit is used. Plan credits reset each month; top-up credits stay while your plan is active.
Which suppliers does it work with?
Any AliExpress seller. We recommend suppliers that ship with UK-tracked carriers (Evri, Royal Mail, Yodel) so tracking uploads cleanly and your delivery metrics stay healthy.
Can my team use it too?
Yes. Add team members, assign orders, and see who placed what and when. Orders lock while someone is working on them, so two people never place the same order.
Can you just run my store for me instead?
Yes. That is our main business. See our management services, where the same team uses AutoPlace on your behalf.
