How many people have a different "My ebay All Selling" page when listing?

ebay just won't leave it alone, will they? One day it's "bought items", the next it's "purchase history". One minute the item number is stated here, the next it's there. You look for "saved searches" and they moved it and called it "followed searches". They just seem to like irritating everyone.

I avoid using ebay pages except to watch the progress of auctions in My ebay and to fix consistently wrong shipping amounts calculated by ebay for multi-item international orders. For me, it is much faster to build out listings in the SixBit ecommerce Solution. I can import listings and images into SixBit. I use it to schedule submitting listings to ebay (or bidStart), manage or revise running listings and to manage post-sales activities. I use SixBit to avoid the overly bureaucratic and unreliable ebay sell or revise item pages. Because SixBit is a desktop application using Microsoft SQL Server as the database engine, I am able to list fixed price items for 30 days to maintain a high ranking in search. If I pull a listing off of ebay for a few months, I can list it again from SixBit. Unlike ebay where everything disappears after a month or so, I have access to about ten years of listings and sales.

I just found a stamp the other day that I had lost track of about a year ago. It was easy to list it again from SixBit. If I had to rely on ebay, all of the information would have had to be entered again from scratch.

Without an external application like SixBit, I don't see the ebay platform as viable for more than about ten listings a week. It simply doesn't scale and the loading of ebay pages is very slow, primarily because of ads.

I have to second what Clark is saying. He referred me to Sixbits about 3 years ago and now I couldn't do ebay without it. I now have a database of 4500 items that I've sold and I am constantly using it for research. I can see if a person has ever bought from me or how many Sc #73 covers I've sold and the price of each sale. It is invaluable when deciding on bids for public auctions. Preparing an ebay listing on Sixbits is much faster than using ebay directly. I highly recommend it.

I am researching SixBit microsoft. Interesting!

Question.....The only way I find listing with ebay's listing tools slow is because of the operator not ebay's tools.

How difficult is sixbit to use? Do I have to take 6 months to get the way of it?

The way's of the computer does not come easy to me!

The fact that sixbit holds so much info make me think that my laptop is going to chock with the amount of memory needed.

So how do I get a feel for sixbit? It does sound interesting!

It sounds like it is going to cost any idea how much.

SixBit sound very interesting!

But my original question look like there is no real difference with the "My ebay All Selling " page.

I say this because of the replies.

The SixBit is a bonus to this question.

You can try SixBit free for a month or start with the free Home & Hobby edition to get the feel of the product. The database won't be very large unless you have a lot of listings. Images (pictures) are stored in the database, but I haven't had a problem with the size of the database.
