EasyLister Update – EasyWholesale, Sella, live-auction updating & more!

It’s been a busy few months!  We’ve been working hard on some great new features for EasyLister.  Below is a brief outline of the new features which are available in your systems right now.

EasyWholesale (beta) now available

EasyWholesale beta was made available in all EasyLister systems a few weeks ago, and the reaction so far has been fantastic. In fact, the majority of active EasyWholesale users have already increased their sales by at least $200 per week!  If you’re looking for more products to sell on Trade Me, sign up to EasyLister today and get started!

About EasyWholesale: This unique free service allows you to easily discover new products and get them listed on Trade Me (and now Sella – see below!) with the click of a button.

EasyLister now supports Sella

That’s right – with EasyLister, it’s now as easy to list on Sella as it is to list on Trade Me!  In-fact, with only a couple of clicks you can enable your products for Sella and have them start listing straight away.

With the new Sella support also comes an updated List Now system, which is easier to use and allows for tighter control over what sites to list on and how many auctions to create on each.

Note that Sella requires two forms of verification before you can list, so ensure you have sorted this out otherwise EasyLister will not be able to list on your Sella account.

New dynamic-pricing panel for EasyWholesale products

A powerful new feature for EasyWholesale products is the ability to float prices against the EasyWholesale cost.  This means that, if the EasyWholesale cost price changes, your prices can change along with it by a set percentage or amount. Click thumbnail image to enlarge.

Update live auction details on Trade Me & Sella

Have you ever wanted to change your pricing, or correct a typo in your listings?  Until now you’d have to edit each auction individually – but not any more!  When you make a change to a product in EasyLister, you can simply click a button to have those changes reflected in any of your current auctions (unless they have bids).  This makes it incredibly easy to keep your products up to date on Trade Me and Sella.

Minor visual changes & performance updates

Of course, no update would be complete without some smaller fixes here and there, and some small performance improvements across the board.  These updates should enhance your EasyLister experience.

We hope you like this update – let us know what you think on our support forums!

Sella support for EasyLister – coming soon!

Since EasyLister was released in July 2009, it has grown in strides.  It is now the most popular listing tool for Trade Me, with more people using it to manage their listings than any other.  However, we’re now ready to move it to the next level…

We’ve started work on full Sella support for EasyLister, and we expect to have it finished later this month.  This means you’ll be able to easily list on Sella just as you do with Trade Me – all it will take is a single click!

We’ll post more information about this soon, so keep an eye out!

EasyWholesale testing begins

When we released EasyLister in July last year, it was to be the first part of our new suite of tools to help Trade Me sellers streamline and grow their business.  Now, the second part of this suite is almost ready and is open for testing!

What is EasyWholesale?
EasyWholesale is a new wholesale product supply platform built right into EasyLister.  Products available on EasyWholesale are specifically chosen for their appeal on online auction sites such as Trade Me & Sella.

Products can be loaded into EasyLister and onto Trade Me with just a few clicks.  Full product information, such as category, pictures, title & description are all ready for you – all you need to do is decide on the price you will charge for the product and click to list!

Whats more, EasyWholesale is completely free – you simply pay for products once they sell, giving you a no-risk way to try new products and expand your range.

How do I sign up for EasyWholesale?
It’s easy to join EasyWholesale and help us test!

If you have an EasyLister account, simply log in and following the instructions on the EasyWholesale banner.  If you don’t already have an EasyLister account, what are you waiting for? Sign up now!

Trade Me Blu-ray catalogue support now in OMINS and EasyLister

We’ve updated our Trade Me catalogue support to include their latest Blu-ray catalogue.  It works in the same way as our DVD catalogue, so there’s nothing new to learn.

DVD & Blu-ray catalogue support in OMINS & EasyLister
If you sell DVDs or Blu-ray on Trade Me, but don’t currently use OMINS or EasyLister, you may not be aware of our leading Trade Me catalogue support.  Not only do we fully support listing through the Trade Me catalogue, we provide an advanced search and display right in the product setup (see example #1).  No other software offers this level of power and integration with the Trade Me catalogue!

(example #1 – click to enlarge)

If you want to take advantage of this feature, it’s easy!  Simply sign up to EasyLister (www.easylister.co.nz) – our 100% FREE listing tool for Trade Me – and start listing.

The year in review: Snipesoft users list a record 5% (1 in 20) of all auctions on Trade Me!

Happy new year!

First off, I hope you all had a great holiday and are refreshed and excited to get back into the swing of things for 2010!  2009 was a big year for Snipesoft, with the release of EasyLister as well as numerous updates and improvements to OMINS, and 2010 looks to be even bigger!  We have several new products in the works and many new ideas to make managing your online business even easier.

Looking back over the past year, we’ve reached a couple of milestones which we’d like to share with you.

• July 2009: EasyLister , our 100% listing tool is released!

July saw the release of our second product – EasyLister.  This completely free listing tool allows Trade Me sellers to easily manage, list & relist their auctions without getting in their way.  Since releasing EasyLister, it has grown in leaps and bounds which brings us to our next milestone…

• August, 2009: most users!

Back in August, we ran some statistics and found that more users used Snipesoft listing software than any other.  Since then, it has only increased and shows no sign of slowing down.  In fact, EasyLister alone has more users than all other listing software combined – including our own OMINS.

• January 2010: most auctions!

Since 2008, we’ve been recording data on the state of the auction software marketplace.  From this data we can see that, since January 2010, users of Snipesoft software list more auctions than are listed by any other listing tool.

In fact, as of today, over 70,000 auctions are listed by users of Snipesoft software – that’s approximately 5% (that’s 1 in 20) of all auctions on Trade Me! We believe this is the record and of course we’re extremely happy about reaching it.

We’ve put together a graph to show you the trends of listing software over the past 14 months.

2010 and the future

This year we’ll be working hard on finishing and releasing our EasyWholesale and EasyStores products.  We look forward to helping New Zealanders improve their online businesses and make the most out of Trade Me and the web.

Have a great 2010 and watch this space for new developments!
