AuctionWatch is introducing a new checkout tool to help you close sales and process orders faster! With the AuctionWatch Checkout button, your buyers can proceed directly to your checkout page from the listing as soon as an auction closes, without having to wait for WBNs to arrive in the mail. This helps ensure that your buyers use your preferred checkout method, saving you time and effort.
Starting today, you can include the new AuctionWatch Checkout button in any or all of your listings during the "Create Listing" process. For your eBay and eBay Motors auctions, the AuctionWatch Checkout button can also be displayed on a panel that dynamically appears in your listing once the auction closes -- this serves as a further reminder to your winning bidders to use your preferred checkout method. This panel will be turned on AUTOMATICALLY for eBay sellers using auto-WBN in approximately two weeks, but you can choose to turn it on now by making the appropriate selection in your Post Sale Management Preferences.
To see an example of how the AuctionWatch Checkout button will look in a listing, please click here or, for more information and answers to some common questions, read our FAQ.
Happy Selling!

Tell me how to turn it on or off for each individual auction in PRO. For instance, in a batch, I have 3 auctions with S/H/I pre-set, but others have to wait until close for address; I would only want the 3 to be able to check out this way. The others will have to be edited individually for S/H/I before sending WBN after auctions close. Also, if a customer wants to combine auctions for shipping, won't this be more of a problem? I love the idea, but in these situations, mabe I should wait to try it until the bugs are out. It does sound great if you send your WBNs automatically now, but I don't. Most of mine are edited first, especially for combined auctions. What do you think? TIA

Hi Ramabele,
Unfortunately since it's not available in the current version of Pro, so the only thing you could do right now is have it set as on for the default, then edit your listing in pending (if you are scheduling them) to turn it on or off for certain auctions. I will keep you posted on when it will be available to change on a per listing basis in Pro.

Hi, I just uploaded 18 auctions to launch Saturday evening (January 25). Since I do not have any predetermined shipping amount, I unchecked the box for the Preferred Checkout button, but it still shows up in my listings. I have cancelled and deleted my listings several times and re-uploaded them hoping to get rid of the button but it just doesn't work. I finally had to put a notice in my auctions not to use the button. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, Genie
