Excellent Support, 7 January 2008

Reviewer: nabachandar

We have been using this product for 2 years. Since the day we have started using the product we have not had any problems. Keeping our fingers crossed. The great thing about this product is that the developers are constantly working on improving the product and adding more and more requested features. Not to mention also the excellent support that is offered. The product is used buy a very large community of users which are always helping each other should the needs arrise. Recentally the Blackthorne developers released the SQL edition of the software to the Beta testers. As a beta tester we can tell you this is a MAJOR release and is going to make a lot of people happy. The SQL edition of the software will run much much faster than the previous access based edition. The SQL edition is great for medium size business which have multiple reps working on the software at the same time. This is a very big thing for networking as the software will finally run fast. Another great thing about the SQL edition is the ability to integrate with other databases much easier than the previous access edition. Keep up the great work Blackthorne team. We really appreciate your hard work!

Fantastic Auction Management Solution, 22 April 2007

Reviewer: enchanted-silver

This program has transformed my business. After using it for 3 months I can honestly say it has given my eBay business new life, boosted sales significantly, and reduced my daily required time commitment to the business.

I previously used SAP since 1999, and made the switch very reluctantly. As a one man operation, I hate change and anything that disrupts my routine or slows my productivity. I also implemented a new ad template at the same time and basically recreated all my 1000+ auction listings, so I faced a bigger transition effort than most. I tiptoed around the pool for a while (i.e, ran SAP and BT in parallel), but since I finally jumped in to BT with both feet I haven’t evened reopened SAP. It is flat-out a much more robust program than SAP.

For me, the biggest advantage is the expanded ability to filter/sort sales, listing and items by virtually any variable you can imagine. I need to constantly adjust prices of all items to keep up with my fluctuating inventory cost, which is driven by the volatile silver market. Believe me, this was no easy task in SAP. Thanks to the item sorting/filtering ability and bulk changing of items I can do this without too much difficulty.

Inventory management is improved considerably. I now stock around 1500+ items and usually never have more 4 of any piece on hand, so this is absolutely critical. With BT I am no longer listing unavailable items. It has happened, but only because I forgot to adjust BT’s inventory for off-eBay sales.

There are other numerous enchancements which I appreciate. A good example is the search function in the category selection tree, to find the relevant eBay category for new items. A few other examples include the “servant” which works in the background on things like category updates, database backups & refreshing, ability to archive items, and shipping/upgrade presets for different types of items.

In all, this is an ideal solution for me – both thumbs up. Highly recommended!

I LOVE MY EB! *Ebay Blackthorne Pro*, 20 April 2007

Reviewer: nmartists

This product will do the heavy lifting for you! I searched the alternatives, but pound for pound Ebay Blackthorne is by far the best buy. You can pay MUCH MORE, and still not have the features this software offers.

I started using Blackthorne (Seller's Assistant Pro) in 2002, there is a learning curve, to be sure, but with so much capablility, there's a lot to learn.

If/when you need help, it is easy to get. On the discussion group site, the support staff & other users respond in minutes, with good humor, encouragement and answers.

We depend on our ebay business and could not run it - there wouldn't be enough hours in the day - without Blackthorne Pro.
