eBay awards EZLister.net Certified Solutions
Provider designation
April 19, 2006
eBay announced today that EZLister.net was
awarded the Certified Solutions Provider designation. Companies
can earn this certification by meeting criteria at both the company
level and the individual staff level, in the areas of expertise
and experience.
According to eBay's web site: "The eBay Certified Provider
Program was established to recognize the best-of-breed eBay Platform
innovators who are helping eBay users grow their businesses through
services, including technology or data licensing services. The
Certified Provider designation helps members of the eBay community
feel more comfortable with hiring providers to grow their eBay
businesses. Certified Providers are carefully screened to ensure
that they can provide eBay members with services and solutions
to grow their eBay businesses. Among other criteria, participants
must have extensive experience with eBay, pass a strict certification
exam and provide a number of proven customer references that
are checked by eBay. A Certified Solutions Provider provides
technology or eBay data-related solutions, or performs tasks
based on the technology they create or data they license."

New accounting reports released by EZLister.net, more to
follow
March 15, 2006
EZLister.net unveiled two new accounting
reports today, the General Journal Report, and the Contribution
Report. The
General Journal Report uses generic accounts that allow EZLister
users to export auction related revenue and expense data in a
universal format. This means that there is an easy to use interface
between EZLister.net and any accounting package used. This simple
but effective procedure allows our users complete access to their
financial information without any additional training, and without
having to purchase any additional software or third party services.
The contribution report takes the information compiled for
the General Journal report and presents it in a profit and loss
format. It is called a contribution report because only eBay
auction related revenue and expenses are included. It does not
include other expense items since there is no practical method
of tracking and including these items in auction management software
packages. However, information presented in this report is appropriate
for gaining insight into the gross margins achieved from eBay
related transactions.
Both reports released will work for those who sell from their
own inventory, for those operating a consignment operation, or
for those who operate a combination of the two. For a complete
description of the meaning and use of these reports refer to
the Training DVD or to the support area available from within
the program.
Additional reports are planned and should be released within
the next six month period. The first planned report is a Deposit
Tracker that groups cash, checks and money orders the same way
as bank deposits that were actually made. This report requires
minimal interaction with your staff, greatly simplifies monthly
reconciliation of a checking account, and helps managers gain
control over their eBay transactions.
The other report that is in progress is an RMA report, or a
report that tracks the affect that returned merchandise has on
inventory, sales, and the bottom line. It is our experience
that RMAs are often addressed, but not properly accounted for
due to their complexity. Bill Mason, EZLister.net CFO said "Once
we began to compile all the information necessary to complete
this report we quickly became aware of how many different issues
are affected. Instead of rushing a report that accomplishes
a part of what we really want, we decided to take our time and
make sure that the final product is correct and thorough." EZLister.net
decided to delay including a report that is not complete and
accurate as opposed to offering a substandard product.
EZLister enhances image handling ability for its program
March 3, 2006
EZLister.net offers virtually unlimited image
hosting for its clients. Each client receives their own FTP
directory upon completing the setup wizard for their exclusive
use. Use
of an FTP directory for uploading images to the web is quick,
but
can be daunting
to the uninitiated. EZLister reports that questions relating
to use of the FTP directory is one of the most common and difficult
to easily answer, questions they receive. To address this they
dedicated an entire chapter on their upcoming Training DVD to
proper use of the FTP. In their program, it is easy to post
pictures to a listing by clicking an icon that inserts the FTP
path followed by typing the image name. However, in order to
make image handling even easier for our clients, we recently
introduced a method of inserting photos directly from a computer's
local drive, or even directly from the memory stick of a camera.
The Describer module of the EZLister program is where the photos
associated with a listing are entered into the program. Now
there are two options available, the original section where images
uploaded to the FTP site can be associated, and the new section
that allows a user to browse the local drives or components attached,
to their computer. The introduction of this new feature increases
the power of our program while shortening the learning curve
associated with image handling. You can become familiar with
using the FTP site by watching the free Training
DVD, available by clicking here.
