eBay Workshop: ProStores 9.0 New Release - April 02

Apr 2, 2008 1:01 PM
Thank you for holding the workshop.

I have 2 questions.

1. If I add categories to the ebay store during the month will they automatically be added to the Prostore?

2. Will Prostores pick up new listings during the month?

My plan is to list things once in the ebay store, move them to Prostore and then let them expire here.

I tried once before but I had to go in and revise the categories etc each time and since I have thousands it didn't work for me.

eBay Workshop: ProStores 9.0 New Release - April 02

First, let us tell you about the new features that are specific to eBay sellers.

QuickStart for eBay Sellers

With version 9.0, we added the ability for eBay sellers to open up a ProStores web store in minutes using their existing eBay listings and settings.

When you sign up for ProStores, you can have your eBay listings and settings imported into your store – including eBay Store categories, shipping, sales tax, product images, PayPal information and eBay Store logo. Your eBay listings will automatically populate your product catalog on ProStores.

Once your eBay listings and settings have been successfully imported, just review and save and you are officially open for business!

I'm just starting with Prostores and am totally baffled. Definately not user friendly. I can't even figure how to edit the home page. Can't afford $900 to get help through prostores, so where do I go for help?

There has been so much trouble with the Google Base Feed lately. Has that been remedied so the Prostore will in fact be listed?

eBay Sync

Once your store is open, ProStores will continue to communicate with eBay to mirror new listings that you create on eBay through your Sell Your Item form or other eBay listing tool. So whenever you create an eBay listing (in SIF, Fixed Price or Auction with BIN), ProStores will add them as products to your ProStores web store, including the shipping rates and discounts you specified on eBay. If you make any updates to your eBay listing, the corresponding fields in ProStores are also updated. You can continue to sell on eBay and manage your business like you always do – ProStores takes care of the rest.

ProStores will also manage inventory levels across items listed on eBay and ProStores to ensure that items are never “over-sold.” This means if an item is sold on eBay, ProStores will automatically decrement from ProStores. If the item is sold on ProStores, the eBay listing for that item will end.

robiblio..I had the same problem the last time I tried. I never did get it all right. It is very complicated.

But, if they an grab my ebay listings it will definitely be worth trying again.

(This is a Posting ID--I'd prefer to NOT post with my selling ID)

I have some questions, but will reserve them for about 30 minutes while I watch & learn.

BTW, the "Free until September" offer for Store owners is awesome! I look forward to taking advantage of that!

I don't know about you folks, but I'm sure glad that the word "analgesic" doesn't mean what it looks like it might mean.....

So, if Ebay had a listing special and I chose to repost everything as fixed price Prostore would then duplicate all my listings (since they would already be there once)?

Is the special offer of no subscription fee for six months only for the starter store only or does it apply to the business store too.

re post #7

lindaspostcardsandmore-

If we import eBay listings into ProStores that have more than 1 picture, we will import the first picture from your listing. This will be used by default as the picture appearing in both your ProStores search results and on your item detail page.

Hope this answers the question.

regards
