Good but needs a lot of work, 12 July 2004

Reviewer: dawal

I've been using SM for a year or so and it has the great advantage of being linked directly to eBay data, but it has a lot of irritating features which haven't been helped by several periods of unresolved faults including the past few weeks (at 12 July 2004) of persistent error messages as I try to move through various steps and which take several and at worst ten or a dozen time-consuming attempts before I can move to the next step.

It has numerous other irritating features even when it's working properly such as allowing buyers to alter postage figures into foreign currencies having a fixed number of email templates which don't accommodate the needs of international sellers inability to print mailing labels from registered addresses accessible to sellers unless the buyer duplicates them through Checkout currency conversion issues and so on.

It's better than most but it's still a long way short of what any serious seller needs and wants.

Guess why I've registered on this s...

After selling about 20 items within two weeks I decided I needed an auction manager. I looked at and tried almost a dozen of the best and settled on eBay's selling manager for it's ease of implementation, ease of navigation and use, and it's relatively low cost. Plus it's automatically linked to PayPal so I always know when I've received payment for all my buyers at a single glance.

The price is great! Only $4.95 per month. I'm using the FREE and very versitile Turbo Lister to create the auctions and Selling Manager to manage them. Selling Manager does not have profit and loss statements though you can export to Excel and do that yourself or you can upgrade to Selling Manager Pro for that functionality.

I use to use AMAFS but it didn't always capture the buyer's ID or email and I had to manually add other items as well after a sale. Hope this helps someone out.
