There is also a free editor called Kompozer that you could download that might handle the HTML better.
When we fixed the issue with the email server not sending out notifications it sent out all the backlogged emails. It should be caught up now. We have removed all subscriptions so to subscribe to a topic you will need to go back in and click the subscribe link.
The list of available template tags (we call them replacement variables) can be found in the selection box on the left hand side of the Description Wrapper editor.
We do not currently have a shipping cost comparison. It is on the request list for future consideration though.
There isn’t a way to print the inventory values for a list of items, however you should be able to generate a report of the previous days sales and profits. From orders, select all the orders from the previous day and go to Reports|Detailed Order Profit and Loss
It would be a huge hit on our daily API call limit. It’s been this way for years, and it’s been brought up to eBay in the past. I don’t expect it will change.
Yes, the Inventory import will allow for doing a SET of the item price.
When you are using drop shippers or Fulfilled by Amazon, there will be additional tabs on the Purchase History window showing your inventory purchases and quantities in each of your fulfillment sources.
Getting accurate watch counts from eBay is problematic. There are two different calls to get listing info at eBay. One returns smaller amounts of data on all listings that have had selling or bidding activity, and another returns much more data, but only on one listing at a time. The second call is the only call that returns the watch count.
We make the broader call every 15 minutes to find out what has changed and then make the more detailed call on just those listings. This is necessary to make sure the refresh process is as fast as possible.
The only way to ensure timely up to date watch counts would be to make the detailed call on all listings every X minutes which, depending upon the number of listings you have, make SixBit simply churn with continuous update calls.
Without up to date watch counts on all listings, it would be hard to implement something like this.
This issue was fixed in the current beta (3.00.112). The Release Candidate version should be out soon (3.00.113) with a full release to follow shortly after that.
Henry,
1. Yes, it will show the inventory quantity you have available up to 5.
2. Allocation plans are set on the item, so you simply need to set the allocation plan. When the listing ends, it will look to the current settings on the item to know if it should be reallocated.
I can’t quite visualize the exact problem you are describing. Can you open a support ticket and include some screenshots.
I believe you are working with Jeremy in a support ticket on this issue. He has identified and fixed some things and will continue to work with you on that ticket.
If you really don’t need to keep inventory synched between the two sites, you could create a database for each site in the Small Business edition and just switch back and forth.
The simplest way to look at the pricing is that to get automatic allocations, you need at least the Enterprise Edition. This will get you automatic reallocations on a single site. Since Amazon requires the allocation feature to work, you must have at least the Enterprise Edition for Amazon.
To use Allocations between two sites (i.e. eBay and Amazon OR eBay and Etsy), you will need the Enterprise Duo version.
Allocations between three or more sites, plus advanced features like Purchase Orders will be capped out with our upcoming Enterprise Max version.
Even our most advanced version, Enterprise Max, is priced very competitively with most of the entry level versions of other multi-channel selling tools.
