FillZ Newsletter

March, 2010

Dear Sellers,

Do you have a Chrislands store? Do you know someone looking for their own eCommerce store? For every activated store that you refer to Chrislands receive a $40 credit toward your Chrislands store fees! Keep in mind that Chrislands supports more than just bookstores. Know someone who sells music, toys, or jewelry? Tell them about Chrislands!

The eCommerce Summit is coming soon! The event is hosted by the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance (PeSA) and eCommerce Merchants Trade Association and will be taking place in Las Vegas, Neveda from April 13th to 15th, 2010. Marc and Lee-Ann hope to see you there. Be one of the first 5 sellers to let us know you're attending and win a free merchant registration! Click here for more details on eCommerce Summit 2010.

Marc and Shaun both attended CAMEX earlier this month and wanted to say what a pleasure it was to meet with the attendees.

We'd also like to thank everyone who participated in the FillZ FBA Survey for their time, effort, and feedback.

Happy Selling!

Jessica

Updates

UI Changes - On March 17th, 2010 we announced some exciting changes to our User Interface. If you missed the bulletin or have any questions or concerns about the announcement, please contact our Customer Support team.

Currency Settings - Several months ago, FillZ introduced better support for managing currencies. Please remember that the sending items without a currency conversion ("price as is") setting that is currently on your "Settings" -> "My Account" page is deprecated and will soon be removed. If you have not already done so, please set your Global Currency Settings and marketplace configurations, and disable the "price as is" options on the "My Account" page. Please click here for all the details, and let us know if you have any questions.

Marketplace News

Abebooks Image Tools - Abebooks recently announced a very exciting change to their Seller Image Tools and we're thrilled to be a part of it! By July 2010 Abebooks will accept image URLs from FillZ. Keep an eye out for the official announcement this summer!

eBay Fees - The fee updates that eBay announced in January, 2010, were launched on March 30th, 2010. The new fees apply to eBay Store sellers as well as eBay Standard sellers. Please click here for eBay's detailed announcement.

Please contact us if you have any questions about setting a minimum price for Alibris or any other marketplace.

CS Tip

I need to look up an item I recently sold. How do I search inactive inventory?

To look up listings, log into your FillZ account and click on "Inventory." This takes you to the Inventory Browse page.

To search for an item that is out of stock (it was in FillZ but sold), you will need to make a change to the page before doing the search.

You will see that the quantity field is automatically filled in with >0. If you are looking to see if an item is in FillZ but out of stock, you will need to change the data in the quantity field when performing a search in FillZ to =0.

Then when you search by SKU, or ISBN/ASIN/UPC, you will find your inactive item.

Referral Program

FillZ rewards clients who refer our business to their friends and associates. Here's how it works:
1. You spread the word about FillZ.
2. A new client references your FillZ user name or store name at sign-up. **It is very important for the new seller to use either of these two identifiers.
3. We credit your account in the amount that the new client pays to FillZ after the first full month of chargeable services.

It's that easy!
