Vendio™ Launches Service to Help eBay™ Merchants Revise Live Listings

Helps sellers make both automatic and bulk revisions to live eBay™ listings

SAN BRUNO, Calif. December 15, 2005 — Vendio™, a leading provider of services that empower merchants to reach consumers and manage online transactions, today launched Vendio Reviser, the only service of its kind that helps eBay™ sellers make fully automated or manual revisions to their live listings.

"Historically, eBay Developers have focused their attention on automating processes before and after an eBay sale, with little attention to live listings. Similarly, the majority of eBay sellers put most of their focus on listings before they launch and after their products sell," said Mike Effle, Vendio's Executive Vice President, Sales Management. "Based upon user surveys and our work with large volume sellers, we developed Vendio Reviser to give sellers a new opportunity to make bulk and automatic revisions to their listings on eBay. For sellers currently revising items individually on eBay, Vendio Reviser will help them revise hundreds of items in the time it used to take to revise just one."

With Vendio Reviser, eBay sellers can automatically:

  • Lower reserve or Buy it Now prices as items with few or no bids get close to ending
  • Create declining price auctions that engage buyers waiting for the next price reduction
  • Edit titles, categories, or activate eBay marketing features on the fly in bulk
  • Extend shorter duration listings to the next longer duration if there are no bids

Vendio Reviser offers three convenient ways to revise live eBay listings. The Auto-Revise feature enables sellers to perform continuous and automatic revisions to their live items with no ongoing manual effort. Once the seller sets up simple rules, Auto-Revise automatically finds live items meeting the seller's revise criteria and makes the requested revisions. Some Auto-Revise capabilities include the ability to:

  • Decrease an item price 10 times by 1% each time with revisions occurring every 3 hours
  • Find items ending soon with no bids and extend them to next longest duration
  • Find items ending in 1 day with no bids and lower their BIN (or Reserve) prices by 10%
  • Rotate categories for items throughout their durations

eBay sellers can also make one-time bulk revisions using the Find & Revise feature, which helps them find all the live items meeting certain criteria and make the appropriate revisions to the group of items at once. Finally, the Bulk Reviser leverages Vendio's award-winning Bulk Editor to make multiple revisions to up to 50 items on a single web page. The live items are organized in a spreadsheet like format, making it easy to tab across fields and make edits across the items quickly. An additional time-saving feature allows sellers to copy values from one item to multiple items to make bulk edits fast.

Vendio Reviser can be used in conjunction with any other service or eBay listing method and is available to all eBay sellers in all categories. There are three pricing plans available, all including free unlimited revisions to eBay Store items. More information is available at www.vendio.com.
