There are some immediate changes happening this week that may require your action within AuctionSound in order to continue listing without issue. Please take a look at the following changes and updates within AuctionSound, eBay, Craigslist and Amazon.

eBay Changes :: Return Policy

eBay is retiring some Return Options on Wednesday, May 2nd that may affect your listings. 3 and 7-day Return will no longer be accepted as well as “Merchandise Credit” and “Exchange”.

AuctionSound has a way to modify your Return Policy options in bulk. Go to Admin > Defaults, scroll down to eBay Returns and you will now notice an Update button to change all item’s Return Policies.

eBay Changes :: Categories

On Tuesday, May 1st, eBay will be modifying quite a few categories which may affect your relisting process. If you are trying to relist in any of these categories and the listing will not launch, you will have to reselect the category you are listing in as it may have changed when you previously listed the items.

What is new in AuctionSound?

Amazon Integration

We are in the Alpha stage of testing Amazon selling and shipping this week but we should be ready for Beta testing towards the end of this week. Currently, everyone has access to activate Amazon and Craigslist to their account by going to Admin > Location.

Auto Relist

Auto Relist will be reactivated on Tuesday, May 1st. Therefore, if you had listings that had Auto-Relist on, they will resume relisting starting Tuesday. If you have items currently in Unsold, those items will not automatically be relisted and you will have to schedule those items to be relisted. But if they were to go Unsold again, the Auto Relist will resume working on those items.

Orders Page

Launching Tuesday, May 1st, we have replaced Sold and Paid with Orders. The Orders page will separate your items that are ready to ship by channel (eBay, Craigslist, Amazon, In-Store). In addition, buyers that purchased multiple items will be combined so you can produce a single Packing Slip as well as mark all items as shipped. If you ship with an outside solution, we added a simple Copy button to copy the buyers address.

Craigslist Posting Requires Java Update

If you are trying to post to Craigslist but the Preview page will not launch, you need to check the version of Java that your computer has installed. Click this link to find out if you need to update your current version: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
If you do have the most up-to-date version, then the Java Plugin may be disabled on your browser. To check and see if your browser has been deactivated or blocked, please visit http://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.xml

AuctionSound proudly presents Craigslist listing! Take your inventory or consignors items and launch them to Craigslist as well as eBay. Now it’s even easier to reach your local market and help drive in foot traffic with no fees and full ad management capabilities. All that is required is a valid Craigslist account. This new feature makes it easy for you to create strong Craigslist ads, track their success and complete the sales process.

Pricing: All ads posted count toward your total listing volume just as they would on eBay. The pricing tiers have remained the same so your billing amount will only be increased by the additional number of listings you create in Craigslist.

We’ve recently added craigslist ad posting to the ever-expanding AuctionSound software. The new addition will allow consignors and retailers familiar with listing their items on eBay to expand their online visibility and increase sales.

AuctionSound users will have the ability to send just one item or their entire inventory to their local market on craigslist.org. Craigslist is one of the fastest growing websites and already one of the 10 most visited sites in the U.S. Over 20 million people visit craigslist monthly. Consignors and retailers that successfully market their products on craigslist are enjoying success that you just can’t achieve through traditional auction and retail sites. Our craigslist inventory management system provides the tools necessary to effectively manage your entire inventory on craigslist. See our AuctionSound packages & pricing.
