It hopefully has solutions to all of the common issues as well as how to apply for compensation if the vendor has failed to abide by the policies.  You can view the policies here http://www.easywholesale.co.nz/menu2/resolution-policies/

The next step will be to provide a vendor rating system – this system will provide a rating to the vendors similar to that of a feedback system and will be based on information such as average time to ship, promptness of enquiry response etc.

This will allow our Easywholesale buyers to make informed decisions as to whether they would like to purchase/list products from that vendor.

We hope that by implementing these changes it will continue to improve everyone’s experience. We thank those who have stuck by us would love to hear from users regarding any future improvements that you would like to see in the future.

• Out of stock setting. You can now set your Easylister to edit your current auctions to an “out of stock” auction if an item runs out of stock while you still have live auctions. It will also edit the auction to the shortest possible auction length so it will end as soon as it possibly can without costing you any money. If the item goes back into stock i.e you receive more it will edit it back to the original auction.  Note: The auction must not have met the reserve and have more than 1hr to run.

To comply with Trademe rules please edit the default to a tangible item such as a paperclip i.e a ‘real’ item.

To find this setting please go to your settings menu > trademe settings for easylister or your settings > promo groups then the trademe tab in the promo group for omins

You can edit the title, description and price. You can optionally also set it to remove any photos attached to the auction.

• For our EasyWholsale users: It will now reserve stock when an auction reserve is met (within an hour) which means that it will be reserved for you in the vendors system and won’t be available to anyone else.

We know that it was a big issue regarding overselling and stock levels so we have worked hard to ensure that all loopholes have been closed.

With the new year comes some new updates….

First off we have upgraded our accounts system to ASB’s business banking. This means that payments made (with the correct reference) to our EasyWholesale account are now applied automatically.  This means that if you are with ASB bank, or you make a cash deposit over the counter at an ASB branch at any time of the day, the payment will typically be available to use in EasyWholesale within 30 minutes.  Do note however that payments or transfers made from a bank other than ASB will still be applied the following day (approx. 1am) due to inter-bank processing delays.

Up and coming:
We will soon be offering new options for EasyLister and OMINS users wanting to use their own webstores by integrating with either OpenCart or Smallfish cart systems. If you are considering expanding your online profile or revamping your online store, we highly recommend one of these cart systems.  If you are keen as beans get in touch with us and we are happy to discuss your options, provide advice and assist with the set up and design.

On the horizon:
A complete re-model of the stock and ordering system for EasyWholesale will be implemented in the next few months, along with a ‘feedback’ system of sorts for vendors. We appreciate all your support while the system grows and works through any teathing problems. We have listened to all your comments about the great and the not so great aspects and hope to address all of these with the next upgrade.

About EasyLister
EasyLister provides support for scheduled listing, automatic relisting, fix priced offers and much more! With a built-in wholesale product source from EasyWholesale and a synchronised e-commerce web-site with EasyStores, the possibilities are endless! Best of all, the EasyTools range is web-based software. There are no complex installations, no need to have your computer on 24/7, and you can list and manage from any internet connected computer!

It’s free?  What’s the catch?
No catch!  EasyLister is completely free to use! There are no hidden fees, no artificial “listing limits” and no additional cost to you.  The cost of other listing tools has kept many TradeMe sellers from reaping the benefits of automated auction listings. EasyLister provides these important tools without any money out of pocket from the sellers.

How do I use it?
It’s very easy to start using EasyLister today.  Simply visit the website, click the signup button and create an account.  That’s it – you’re now using EasyLister!

What’s next?
To complement EasyLister, we’ll be releasing two new products in the coming months – EasyWholesale and EasyStores.  Stay tuned to find out more about these great products!

However, with a recent explosion in interest for OMINS, we just don’t have the time to properly support Easy Lister or it’s users.  Therefore, we have had to make the tough decision to put the release of Easy Lister on temporary hiatus.

Can’t you release Easy Lister without support?
We could, but we’d rather not.  Great support is an important part of being a Snipesoft customer, and if we don’t feel we can live up to that we’d rather wait until we can.

What should I use now that Easy Lister is delayed?
Of course, we’d love for you to try out OMINS and see if it is right for your business.  Please feel free to contact us for more information and a free trial.

When will Easy Lister be released?
Due to the growth in interest for OMINS, we are currently looking into expanding our team.  This will allow us to continue to support current and future OMINS clients, and may also allow us to re-open Easy Lister development.  Watch this space!

We’re actually ahead of schedule (when does that ever happen!), and we’re just testing a few last minute things and adding a bit of polish. Once that’s done we’ll release it for beta testing and you can all take a look and help us make this the best (and easiest ) listing tool for TradeMe!

However, a little more patience is required as we may be delayed a couple of weeks longer than we expected. This is due to some custom development work for a new OMINS client of ours (who you’ll be seeing a lot more of on TradeMe in the near future!)

Just thought we’d keep everyone in the loop.
