Vendio Wins 2010 eBay Star Developer Award

Vendio, an eBay Certified Provider, won a 2010 eBay Star Developer award for "Rapid Evolution" at eBay's 2010 Developers Conference in San Jose, CA June 9th.

The Star Developer Awards are presented annually to recognize the talent and solutions of members of the eBay Developers Program. The eBay Developers Program, established in 2000, is a community of more than 112,000 developers who utilize the program’s standards-based, easy-to-use development platform. These third-party developers have access to the eBay marketplace, enabling them to seamlessly integrate their ideas and e-commerce tools.

“eBay’s developer community continues to create innovative applications on the eBay platform that help improve the experience for buyers and margins for sellers, while driving profitability for themselves,” said Sri Shivananda, senior director of eBay’s developer program. “The eBay Star Developer Award winners have built powerful applications that bring new ways of doing business to the eBay marketplace.”

Vendio earned the eBay Star Developer Award of "Rapid Evolution" (boosting seller efficiency in a dynamic marketplace) for their Vendio Reviser tool.

Vendio Reviser was developed as a scalable solution enabling eBay sellers to update thousands of live listings in order to comply with eBay’s selling policies or make a change to their selling strategy.

“We are very proud to receive our third Star Developer Award, especially in the Rapid Evolution category,” said Mike Effle, COO of Vendio. “It shows that not only are we an established eCommerce software provider helping merchants sell more productively for over 10 years, but that we can also adapt quickly to meet our customers’ needs. As one of eBay’s first development partners, this award is especially meaningful because it reinforces our continued commitment to innovation and our customers.”

• Assists in shipping communication
• Quickly see number of days since Shipped and since Delivered
• Watch for those packages that are taking longer than usual to deliver and contact the buyer before they get upset and contact you

"It's not just the one DSR -- if you fix that one {customer communication} DSR, then all the other ones just follow. Once you've built a relationship with that buyer, then they go out of their way to leave 5 stars every time." - E.J. Bantz, Founder and Creator of Seller Machine CRM by BengalOne

Congratulations to Seller Machine for this great win! Seller Machine is a DSR Rockstar as the tool helps eBay sellers increase their DSRs, create strong relationships with their buyers and increase sales with repeat purchases from happy buyers.
