1) will all the listings from ebay automatically transfer to Auctiva
2) I know the store won't open til mid January but can I start typing in my items now
3) will the sites be somewhat alike - 1, 3, 5 or 7 days listings with additional fees for 10 days; automatic details on items with UPC codes or ISBN numbers
4) will there be set shipping fees like on half.com
5) will we be notified by email when an item sells
6) can payments received and fees charge all go thru my current paypal account

Hi,

From you second question, you may be confusing the new Auctiva commerce Stores with Auctiva's eBay listing service at auctiva.com. The new commerce Stores won't be on eBay. Think Walmart.com (retail on the web) and that's what the new service is bringing to the community. Here's the link to the new site.

www.auctivacommerce.com

The closest similar service on eBay is their ProStores.

Can someone please clarify for me the Auctiva store. I think I am confused.

The Auctiva store will not have anything to do with our eBay listings?

There are other services out there that you list to ebay with, have your own website store and then your eBay customers can see and visit your own website store during eBay checkout by being redirected to your website store.
I am assuming the Auctiva store will not do this??

amen on your tag line, Im feeling the pain.
Ok got that nasty uploader to work tonight finally, seems active x must have loaded wrong
after several efforts with firefox I changed to msnie and then made several passes and it finally worked. deep sigh changes should not be this difficult. ;-) Thank you for your service. ma

Folks,

Auctiva has two different types of "Stores".

The Store that goes with the traditional Auctiva eBay listing service is essentially a "GALLERY" of all your listed items on eBay. It's free with the listing service, just like everything else with the free service. Items in the GALLERY also appear in your Scrolling Gallery on eBay (also referred to as the Store Window). Those links in my siggy are to my Stores (currently empty).

The new Auctiva commerce Stores, which start this month, are a real on-the-web Store, where you can direct-sell you merchandise. It does have subscription and percentage fees that you pay Auctiva (no fees to eBay).

Note, there are two different sections in the Forum that discuss the two different concepts. The old eBay Store and Store Window are in the "Store Window and Store" section. The new Commerce Stores are in the "Auctiva Commerce Storefronts".
