Auctiva support on off-Ebay selling sites

It's in the works. A standalone, non-ebay store. It's kinda the next "big thing". There's no dates yet, but it's going to be a while before that feature comes out.

I believe the target was in time for the Christmas this year.

Well, it time to start getting ready for Christmas right now!

We should have a beta version in the next few months. If I give a date we'd probably just miss it. But hopefully before it starts getting cold outside, lol.

The features are nearly complete and we're working on integrating well with the Auctiva site and our inventory feature. As well as making sure it's easy to use for beginners but the experts can still find the power features. And things like tutorials and templates.

Ya I really wanted it to be ready by mid July, at least a beta, but as usual with software it always takes longer than you'd think. I'm pretty confident though about a beta later this year and the features we have are way beyond what I originally imagined we might have. When it does come out it's going to be a lot more feature rich than I was originally thinking we'd have for a July release.

I would love to be a part of your beta testing.

My website has been down for two weeks while my host is changing their servers. I am so ready to make a move.

Pinchrosemary, youngholdings, younglabels, youngdirect, youngbrands

I would also like to beta test this

I think Auctiva would have plenty of uptake for something like this......Roll on the next few months..

Just bumping this to the top to keep Jeff at Auctiva on his toes!

October is usually good month for me in the vintage automobile market, so I'm really hoping the new storefronts will be ready before then.

Well, I'm out of time so to get this rolling I'm trying out Ebay's ProStores, which so far is not overly user friendly. Had to use their customer support by email and the first help they gave me was 180 degrees wrong.

Jeff, Jeff, Where are you? We need a place to go! I know you all have brainstormed it. Be-Tray gave the blueprint. I have got to believe it's in the works! What good is it to stay with a sinking ship? Their stock is way down, sellers have left and will continue to leave in droves and if they are who you're all in with, then shame on you! There have got to be better business heads at Auctiva than that! What's the old adage, don't throw all your eggs in one basket. You'll need a lifeline soon as you don't support off Be-Tray sites either. Argh! If you don't need a lifeline yet, we do!

I'm through grumbling!

One thing I can't grumble about is Bonanzle!

Awesome site! Growing like crazy! Loads of Fun and extremely easy!

If that can happen for an upstart, just think what would happen if you ventured into it. With your base of seller's that have customers...Quit Teasing Us! Just say yep or nope! If yep, give us a crumb on a more consistent basis. We're waiting with bated breath!

Oh, this was a bump and a bit of letting off steam. Don't pounce on me too hard!

We did a beta in early August with about 100 sellers. We'll be running an open beta starting around the 20th of October where you all can try out our stores functionality.

Great! Best news all year.

What should we be doing to prepare? I for one would like to get all my ducks in a row, already have it marked on the calender.

Make sure you are using our inventory feature. The easiest way to get your items into the new site is by having inventory going. Without that we don't have a good way of knowing if you have 1 or 1000 of an item. And if you only have 1 you're probably going to be selling that on eBay because they have the most buyers.

I dont sell multiple items of the same thing..would I still need to use inventory in order to be able to use the auctiva auction..
btw..I love auctiva...thank you very much..

Hi Jeff,
I was wondering if this new off-ebay store will sync inventory with ebay so as not to sell more then what you have.
For example say i have only one copy of Amazing Spidr-Man #1 and have it listed on your new off-ebay store and on ebay as well. If i sell it from your store will it sync with ebay and remove it. Or if i sell it on ebay will it sync with your off-ebay store and remove it.

Also will it import your ebay listings to the new store and/or export store items to ebay.

Thanks Ray

Jeff,

Ready to head forward and can't wait.

To other members of this board...I beta tested and it's AWESOME!

Has the open beta started yet.

BUMP

Hey Jeff,
Any word on the off E-bay store beta yet.

Inquiring minds and anxious sellers want to know! :-)

It's been delayed until November 11th.

Looking forward to this addition to Auctiva.

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks for the update Jeff.

I am looking forward to trying it out, all of you at Auctiva are doing a awesome job keep up the great work.

Just to let everyone know, the off e-Bay store beta goes to QA this morning.

Please remember those of us who beta tested, sent comments and more.

Make sure we have a chance to get in on the live beta testing.

Email is on file with Auctiva and I'm anxiously awaiting to live beta test.

Thanks,
Donna

Commerce is now in QA for testing (11/07), we have created a seperate forum for Commerce discussions.

How do we get to participate?..will this work if we have individual unique items instead of dozens of the same thing?...I have been watching the progress of this and the last message said November 11 would be the potential start date..are some members already using?..can we take a look?..lots of questions I know, but like many others here, I would like to have another site compatible with auctiva...please respond ...thank you..Alexa
