Entirely inaccurate. Subscription is $14.95/month for unlimited eBay ID's. The free scheduling and relisting features pays for itself. If you're using them to ship, sure you have to put some up $ to cover postage. But if you're worried about that, you probably don't need a service anyway.

I was referring to the shipping not the service. You have to fund a miminum of $25 per account to ship using inkFrog. If not, you will have to use eBay to print labels, which defeats a lot of the purpose of having it. I think for high volume sellers this is good, but not for those only selling a few items.

Hi,

Will eBay flag my accounts if I use pushauction with my spanish accounts?

I "who-ed is" the site, it appears their servers are in Hong Kong, with a Hong Kong IP.

Probably, eBay will suspect if a Hong Kong IP log into spanish account to list. Isn´t that?

Thanks in advange.

Yea i tried beta v4 and looks much better then v3

V3 is somewhat convoluted, but I FINALLY listed something.

To schedule a listing...

1. create a product in inventory (it wont let you save a profile without assigning one)
2. upload pictures
3. create profile
4. create time based schedule
5. assign profile to schedule

:doh:

The inventory feature is nice to have but it should not have been made a requirement to create a listing. I had to make a generic product to add to all my profiles to get around this.

same question for me??

When you sign up with a service like pushauction or inkfrog your dropping a token at eBay giving the auction listing service permission to create listings. eBay knows the IP's of these services and knows not everybody that uses the service is from the same country. That's like saying if you housed your servers in Vatican City that you could only takes accounts from there with a total population on 600?

The only thing you need to remember is to be logged into the correct IP for that particular account when you first drop the token, after that you rarely have to even get on eBay.

I've been using more and more components of inkfrog and it's been an unbelievable time saver. If your selling off multiple accounts like I do, having to change users/IP the print a label, change users/IP then print another label for 20 accounts is a waste of time and energy. I print and ship everything from inkfrog, autofeedback when the label prints, auto email (not eBay message) goes out thanking them with tracking number and feedback reminder. I bet using this saves me 1 1/2 hours a day.

InkFrog has been pretty good at getting my listings high up in the visibility rankings. Even when I don't use the keyword in the title, I can usually rank under that keyword and get sales for it.

Hello, I am new here. Got the book and read it, great stuff.

The thing i would be sketchy about is, if you use 1 account to control all of your ebay accounts and then e/b buys the company, you have to think of the following.

Directly from pushauctions privacy page:

"In the event that PushAuction merges or is acquired by another company, all current information PushAuction has will be shared with the other company. PushAuction will do its best to inform you of the transaction"

Sooo by extension, seems it would cause an immediate and catastrophic collapse of all your accounts basically as they are all linked to this one pushauction account.

Just a thought to ponder :):juggle:

When does the token get dropped?
Is it only once when we sign up?

So basically, we don't have to worry about IP at all when we're using the service after the token has been dropped?

Correct Bubbletea
As long as you do everything within PAuction you will be golden.

I though I would update about customer support for Push Auction.

I was stuck listing so I sent an email and got a reply! It took nearly two days... but hey at least it was a reply!

I am on as a free user right now so I dunno if that makes me a lower priority.

The message I sent was in Chinese (using 汉子）and so was the reply.

But good old googly translate helps a lot!!

I am convert to PA so far...

The message feature is a godsend. I just wish I wasn't so lazy to learn how to use the bloody thing. An import feature (like Auctiva) would be pretty useful too...

Is v4 more expensive than v3?

Looks like if you want to use listing, sales (printing postage) & messaging (email or ebay) features in v4, it's $15 per account. That's $300 a month for 20 accounts!!!

Also how in the world do you choose no returns on listings in v3?

On Pushauction, can I select which eBay site I want to list on?

Can it handle dispute resolution?

Also, is it one price for multiple accounts?
How many accounts is the max?
Thanks.

Unlimited accounts you can handle ebay messages with V3 as well


You can not handle dispute resolution with V3

Which subscription do I need for this?
Is it one price and one subscription for all accounts?

I pay $29.95 per month V3....First month will be free

Yes one subscription for all accounts

My free trial has run out.... but I will probably subscribe!

The only problem is... I like V4 much better then V3 (site layout, dispute handling, paypal api key integration, picks up listings not done through Push), but they have a MUCH different pricing model for v4 (V4 = $5-15 per account vs v3 = $30 unlimited accounts) :pout:


Slapped, which version are you subscribed to?

Did you use the free trial on Pushauction?
How do I sign up for the free trial?
I don't see it on the website.
Under fees, I saw that they said the first month is free but I am under the impression that you would need to subscribe first.
Do they ask you for credit card number for the free trial?
And you can try both V3 and V4 in the trial?

I use V3 Business,,,No Problem,,,I will try V4 Someday

When you sign up for the 1st time you have full access to V3 for 1 month.
You can sign up for V3 & V4 separately on the main page.

V4 is free for 2 accounts. You get auto feedback, 100 listings & messages/auto emails per month. No printing labels or listing analysis reports.

I guess you can sign up 1 free V4 for every 2 accounts you have and run it like Auctiva & print labels via paypal or stamps.

No credit card, just paypal for payments

I will probably do the same. Are you using 14 days returns? I didn't see an option for no returns when creating a profile, but for some reason v4 has it.

What I was asking is, can I sign up for the free trial WITHOUT subscribing... just like Auctiva. They let you try it out for 1 month free, and you only subscribe after that if you want to continue.

Can PushAuction be used for image hosting across multiple ebay accounts without being flagged by eBay?

From what i've heard, pushauction is much better especially for multiple stealth accounts. I'm about to test it out myself.

How does InkFrog do this?
Does the listing tool affect visibility rankings?
I am currently in need to improve my visibility due to poor dsrs. :(

They have what they call "Smartlister". It uses Terrapeak to find keywords, auction timing, pricing, etc

Give them a try, it's only $14.99/month, unlimited accounts, no contract.

I tried out Pushauction free trial today and wow, it is practically unusable!
I'm surprised so many here are using it.
When I tried Auctiva, I didn't even have to read any help files - everything was intuitive and easy.
With Pushauction, even after reading the tutorial, I had no idea what was going on!

Can someone tell me, how can I import existing listings and relist them BUT with setting the listing time.
I have managed to import the current listings to PA and was able to relist them, but I could not set the listing time.
Being able to set the listing time is the main reason I am using these tools.
Also, what time zone is the listing time on PA in?
Thanks!

To schedule a listing...

1. create profile
2. create time based schedule
3. assign profile to schedule


As for the timezone, :noidea:. I have it set to EST....

19:00 (7pm pst) ebay listing time = 10pm est

My question is have you guys tried Schedule listing on PA? As my story is I got 3 of my accounts restrict after using Schedule listing by PushAuction, I'm not sure if this is the reason, but indeed after 10mins of Schedule from PA, all 3 of my US account shut down !

Hmm... strange...
Last time I used Auctiva scheduled listing with 1 minute interval for 12 items and soon after, my account got restricted too.
However, there were a few other issues like my account was below standards and I got the MC099 vero takedown a day before the restriction.
But the time frame was very close to my scheduled listings so I did suspect if that was related too.
Very hard to say in my case since many factors were involved.
That was my first time using any tool and scheduled listing.

Do NOT even "Cloud" your thinking,,,,as soon as you got the MC099,,on TOP of the low DSR's,,,your account was TOAST,,,it just took a While for INEVITABLE to happen,,your accounts shutdown just happened to coincide with your auctiva listings,,,MANY here have been using Auctiva on Multipe accounts for YEARS without incident,,,the SAME holds true for Push auction

Yeah, I thought it was most likely a coincidence too.

That didn't put me off scheduled listings...
Just that... it really takes work to figure how to get this done on pushauction!
And... does anyone find it really slow?
It seems to crawl whenever I click anything on that site.
And I am a short 4-hr flight from their servers in HK!

If you are using multiple accounts on PA, what do you do when you originally get the token from ebay? Do you sign in with the IP for that account, or if you are signed into PA will ebay see PA IP anyway

Just want to add accounts correctly dont want to lose any by stupid actions

Thanks

Ebay can see that you are logging in from Push auction, and they are Ok with it because they know what Pushauction does,,But the cannot see what accounts you are managing

You need to be on the correct IP, user account, etc., when you intially drop the token for each account.

hey thanks for all the information in this thread! i've been testing out pushauction and it seems to be okay. it's useable if you're savvy but there's still a few things i'm left wondering about. has anyone been able to list an item up without a return policy required? i havn't been able to do that in v3 or v4... also with that same note in mind, i can't update items that have a no returns policy for the same reason that i can't post an item that doesn't accept returns

Can someone help me out?
I still can't get it to schedule listings.
OK, I've created the profiles, I've created schedules, I've assigned profiles to the schedules.
Waited for the scheduled time to come and nothing happened - it did not list!

I don't fully understand some things.
OK, so I tried to create a time-based schedule.
Basically, I have 4 different items and I want them to list an auction for each item let's say at 7pm, with 9 minutes interval between them.
Meaning 1x item A lists at 7pm, 1x item B lists at 7.09pm... and so on.
How should I set it up?

What I did was I set the time to be from 7pm To 7.30pm.
Under e.g. Sat, Listing QTY:1, Interval (min): 9
I checked the yellow box and the 2nd box out of the 3 boxes below.
And selected profile is 4.
Then Save.

What did I do wrong?
Please tell me how I should input the data.
Thanks!

Is there no one who does scheduled listings with pushauction?
I'm gonna have to go back to using Auctiva if I don't get any help.
I've tried and it's just not working...

Try to get one listed before you do multiples. It sounds like the time of schedule might be the problem. If the time was correct something should have happened. Did you check the log?
