Has anybody here used Auctiva or Quantity manager

[mynameis]

Has anybody used quantity manager or auctiva to help them with ebay listings, is there anything i should be wary of as up until now i havent used any third party plugins/apps with ebay so im slightly skeptic.

Quantity (scarcity) Manager works great.

Once it's installed it cant be removed from an account, but doesn't charge any monthly fees.

If you dont mind, can you briefly explain what is great about it in your opinion? Or how it helps you sell more successfully?

If not, I completely understand lol

Found through trial and error people are more likely to buy if certain criteria are met.

A nice combo is lowest price and 1 quantity to spark the scarcity mindset in the buyer.

"Might not be here when I come back for it, someone else might buy before me" etc.

Throw in deals like buy 3 at 10% off along with a set 3 quantity and it caused buyers to do just that.

"Bought em out, got em all, bringing home the bacon" kind of mindset.

So this program auto adjusts the quantity? I am not familiar with it at all.

Does indeed.

You enter into an interface much like seller hub's listing management.

You set your actual inventory along with the quantity you want listed. Every 'renew' 1 to 0 back to 1 is 0.02 cents per.

The downside of using it at 1 quantity is you'll miss out on multi quantity buyers.

It comes down to if the increase in sales velocity makes more per hour than it would if a buyer bought multiple and you save on shipping charges.

Their website says they charge $5/month though is that correct

Actually we might be talking about 2 different companies, i was talking about https://www.qtyman.com but it looks like you're talking about https://www.scarcitymanager.com/pricing.php . Or they may be the same

Nope, meant the same. Do the same at least haha.

Yea, monthly fee while in use. If you stop using and want to uninstall it doesnt allow it. Which got me a little paranoid, but it hasn't changed any hidden fees once not in use.

If i have 3 stealth accounts, im guessing i would need 3 licenses of the software right, or pay basically 3 times is that right

Yes, would need 1 per account.

I have found there are too many steps when listing an item with auctiva, its a messy process thats not very well put together.

[mynameis]

just an update, quantity manager is not working for .co.uk registrations so i guess ill be looking at auctiva now, or do i need an ebay store to use quantity manager?

[mynameis]

just an update, scarcity manager, is also useless as it requires us to have the out-of-stock feature enabled which is just going to show as X items sold on your listing page which defeats the whole purpose.
