Vendio Launches Free Item Condition Reviser for eBay (Update all your eBay listings!)

In order to help sellers comply with the new eBay item condition rules, Vendio has launched a free easy-to-use reviser that can revise the condition of your live eBay items based on the new required condition.

This is available by logging into your Vendio account and selecting Channels > Revise. This does require a Vendio account as you will need to log in and set an eBay token so that we can make these changes on your behalf.

If you are not already an eBay seller using Vendio, you can create a free Vendio account if you sign-up for one of their free products listed here and you will be able to use Vendio's free products including their new Item Condition Reviser.

You can set your eBay tokens by selecting the Preferences link (top-right) and selecting “channels” from the drop down menu. If you do not have a Vendio account, you can sign up for any premium or free service in order to access the special reviser.

Note that Revisions to your live items on eBay are not automatically reflected in your inventory item definitions on Vendio. You will need to edit the condition field in these item definitions before future launches.

Below, we’ve added instructions to help you use the new Item Condition Reviser

Log into your account and select Channels>Revise

  1. Find & Revise: Find the items where you want to change the item condition by selecting the Find and Revise button.
  2. Find Items to Revise (by Category): The easiest way to find and replace for the Item Condition reviser is to revise by category.If you do not know your category number, select choose and find your category.
  3. Find Items to Revise (by Other Conditions): Find items that contain any or all of specific conditions you define. For example, find all my items that have “Blue AND Ring” in the title or find ANY of my items that have either “Blue” OR “Ring” in the title.
  4. Available “Find” Fields: Find item by any of the fields displayed in the drop down menu. Find fields are also depicted below.
  5. Select the Category: After you have defined the conditions you are using to locate the items to revise, you will need to select the category for the Revise field. Because all item condition values are category-specific, please enter choose your category FIRST. Once the category is entered, the item condition menu will populate.
  6. Select the New Condition: Once the condition menu is populated, you can select the new condition.
  7. Review your Revisions: Review your revisions by clicking Review.
  8. Revise Your Live eBay Items: Click the Revise button to finalize the revisions of your live eBay items.

If you have questions or need some help, contact Vendio customer support.

Auctiva Releases Support for eBay's Listings with Variations Format

Auctiva, an eBay Certified Provider and eBay Developers, recently launched support for eBay Listings with Variations or Multi-Variations. Auctiva’s new Multi-Variation Tool builds the option to add variations to a listing right into its One-Page Lister, making the process easier and requiring fewer steps than other tools, says Auctiva Product Analyst Rebecca Miller.

What is eBay Listings with Variations? (also known as Multi-Variations)

Instead of creating a number of separate listings for a product that has a choice of options, you can create a single multi-quantity fixed price listing that includes all the variations you offer. For example, a T-shirt might come in multiple colors and sizes. Buyers can select which variation they want to purchase from the single listing.

Supporting multi-variations was a top priority for Auctiva, says Senior Product Manager Tony Maxey. Customers have been clamoring for multi-variation listing support because it can save them a lot of time and money, since they create one listing with multiple attributes, instead of multiple listings. eBay has also announced that multi-variations will expand into other categories in the future. Currently sellers can create multi-variation listings in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories, as well as Home & Garden.

eBay sellers using Auctiva will find they can create a multi-variation listing just as they would any other, but when they choose an eBay category supporting multi-variations listings, they get a message asking if they want to create a multi-variation listing, and a link to click into the Multi-Variation Tool.

Once a seller clicks on the link, they will be able to create variations by either entering each one manually, or use the Variation Generator. The Variation Generator allows sellers to use up to five attributes and easily generate 120 variations at a time.

Auctiva is an eBay Certified Solutions Provider offering listing management solutions and features for beginner -to mid-to high-volume eBay sellers.

Build Great eBay Listing Titles with Terapeak Keywords (New in Selling Manager Applications)

Terapeak, an eBay Certified Provider and eBay Market Data member, just released a new and completely free app for the eBay Selling Manager Applications - Terapeak Keywords!

Terapeak Keywords is a free tool helping sellers optimize their eBay listing titles. eBay sellers know, the first step to creating a listing is coming up with a title. The first step to creating a great listing? Come up with a great title.

Terapeak Keywords asks a seller to type an item’s name/description into a search field. It then samples 100 recent eBay listings that have also included the specified search term(s), and automatically produces a list of related keywords accompanied by average prices and other metrics.

By clicking the most valuable relevant keywords and adding them to your listing, you can continue to build your title until you have used up all 55 characters… And as any eBay seller should know, every character counts!

"We’re very excited to be able to offer a free application that will benefit anyone who sells on eBay. The app will remain free and independent of any Terapeak subscriptions, so there's no need to create an account. Just add it to SMApps (Selling Manager Applications) and go!" - Terpaeak Team

Below is a sample of Terapeak Keywords for eBay Selling Manager Applications.
