A new auction management tool from the makers of eBay Seller's Assistant and eBay Blackthorne has been launched.

SixBit eCommerce Solution (known simply as "SixBit") is a modern Windows-based application that is low-cost, easy to use and supports multiple marketplaces, starting with eBay.

SixBit founder John Slocum was also the founder of Blackthorne software and first developed AuctionAssistant, the first automation tool for eBay. After being acquired by eBay, they went on to create the eBay Blackthorne tool. After eBay cutbacks left his team unemployed, they turned to what they knew best. "We've always had a very loyal following and have built both customer and personal relationships with thousands of sellers." says Slocum. "After two years of development, we are very excited to have a solution available and are anxious to begin renewing those relationships."

The initial release of the SixBit's eCommerce Solution supports selling on eBay with integration for other selling sites to follow in the coming year.
