This & That
1) AuctionHelper Launches Calendar-Based Listing Tool
By Ina Steiner
As reported in NewsFlash on the 14th, AuctionHelper recently launched its listing tool, the only calendar-based listing tool for online auctions. "A seller could literally launch one million items within thirty seconds (assuming they were all typed into inventory) and span them anytime over the next six to twelve months using our calendar-based listing tool," said Brandon Marz, Vice President of Business Development at AuctionHelper. "We are a full service auction management company and we have unique tools such as AuctionLynxx and FrontRunner that will help sellers to better promote their items and receive more page views and more bids on their items." A review of AuctionLynxx can be found at http://www.auctionbytes.com/Email_Newsletter/41/41.html#auctionhelper
2) Zoovy Program Allows for Easy Importing
By Ina Steiner
Zoovy says their program can import files to make it easy for people switching from another program or service. You can import product descriptions and photos for each product in your store and auctions using Zoovy's data migration tool. Zoovy can import products from Andale, Auctionworks, and ManageAuctions.com. It can also take specially formatted, comma-separated files created in programs like Excel. And auctions posted on eBay can be imported as products within 30 days of the listing. This procedure is available to any user on the Zoovy system, including trial accounts. http://www.zoovy.com
3) More New Categories on eBay
By Ina Steiner
eBay has a page containing new categories: http://pages.ebay.com/catindex/newcats.html. After the "New Categories" section, you can find an index to theme pages. These pages are helpful to people interested in one particular area, especially those new to eBay. For example, there is a SciFi page http://pages.ebay.com/scifiorama with useful links.
