Another Auctiva alternative...too good to be true?

[TermedPS]

Found another alt to Auctiva, but are these guys too good to be true?

SUPREME - Software, Tool, Template, Widget for eBay - Online version -

I don't know a single soul who uses this.
They offer offline and online versions.

FREE: pic host, scheduler, temps, etc...

Can you log into the online service without getting linked?

Anyone use them?

YUP...it is to good to be true! I just registered to try them out...

You pretty much have to pay for everything extra.

If you only require a one picture listing, then from what I can see, you can use their bloated service for free.

19¢ to host 4 images per listing.

29¢ to host 12 images per listing.

And all the way up to 99¢ depending on the amount of pictures you want.

Also not very compatible with Vista, as I could only get a very small window to write my listing. About 1/3 of my display.

That's a shame, thanks for trying for us.

I was also looking at these guys:

Seller Sourcebook : Subscription Details

It's a paid service, but cheaper than auctiva.
I see it being used in some of the high fashion ebay categories.

Don't know if they share any info with ebay about ips or the other usual issues...

^^^^^^^

Just sent Seller Sourcebook a email asking if...

Does your service allow more than 1 (one) eBay account per subscription?

[TGMT²]

^^^^^^^

Here's the email they just sent me...

Hi Robert,


Thanks for your email. Yes, as long as both eBay ids belong to you
you have use your one account for multiple ids.


If you have further questions, please let us know.


Best,

I'm going to email them again for a phone number to ask further questions (Like getting a 2 week free trial). I do like their prices...$8 a month or the $70 for a whole year, but would like to see their layouts etc.

Otherwise I will just pay the $8. and let everyone know.

Thanks for the update!

As I mentioned, their stuff looks good for the price.

Only problem I see is possible linking due to the images for multiple accts.

Is there a way around this?

Also, I may be paranoid, but I just wonder if they share ip addy, etc...with ebay.

May be an issue for most/some on this forum? But I run 3 eBay accounts that are linked that I rotate for cooling purposes when needed.

I haven't had a chance to sign up with Seller Sourcebook yet.

I agree...I would not recommend Supreme Auction.

You seem to like Vendio, and I found them to be VERY user unfriendly. Not to mention the I had to call 2 phone numbers to cancel my subscription so my credit card wouldn't be billed and both times the people I talked to barely spoke English. They had no help section and you have to pay for any kind of support.
