MarketBlast cannot combine auctions. It is therefore USELESS to me.

I bought Marketblast recently, after reading the interview and trying the trial version. I am sure combining auctions will be possible soon. In the meantime, this is a wonderful piece of software. It has a fairly steep learning curve, and I know I have barely skimmed the surface of what it can do, but the fact that I was able to import my entire 6600 book database into Marketblast and my images files from several different sources, was the one feature that sold me.
For those of you who sell on Amazon.com and have a Pro-merchant account, importing into Marketblast is as easy as ordering an open listings report and then importing into Marketblast. It takes 6 or 7 minutes for my import in (using Windows XP and a fast cable modem connection). For image importing, Marketblast will download directly from a server using ftp. It also uploads to your present server space, as well as flickr.
Posting auctions is lightening fast. I've tried many web-based auction management "solutions" and Marketblast is as fast or faster than most of them.
The price is reasonable. No closings to worry about paying a percentage on. You can make your own custom template and use that (I'm not wild about the included ones, though they do work). Lots of search functions and ways to sort and view and analyze your data.
I know there are things need tp be added and fixed, but I am hooked on Marketblast already and look forward to the upcoming improvements.

1.11, which will be released next will support combining invoices plus a few other things.
This is by far the most requested feature we have received so we are happy to deliver it.

Slightly longer than anticipated but MarketBlast 1.11 was released today with the additional feature (among a few) that support combining auctions.
Best Regards

MarketBlast does not have the capability to fill in the item specifics when scheduling a item therefore it is useless to me. I see that they fixed djaeby's problem and would be curious to hear an update if that user is still satisfied.

Using Item Specifics with profiles and thereby allowing automated listings with item specifics will be in 1.12.

At the interview it was stated that Marketblast would be compatible with eBay UK in a matter of weeks. I appreciate that it is undergoing a rapid development in its` current form, but any news on when this may happen ?

Brendan,
When is 1.12 expected to release?
Also, it is difficult to truly get a feel with the crippled demo. If we purchase the software, can we get a refund if we are unsatisfied after a 30 day trial?
Thanks

If everything goes according to plan 1.12 should be released by the end of next week.
With regards to UK support unfortunately we had to put it on the backburner for a little while to make sure that we added some badly needed features (grouping invoices, second category support etc). Hopefully after 1.12 we can publish a roadmap with a commitment on timing for UK support.
Refunds, let me put it simply we don't want any unhappy customers. If a customer doesn't want to use our software within 30 days and we can't satisfy them that we can make them happy in the near future, then I think we should give the customer their money back.
Regards
Brendan
