Now that Annie’s Costumes main eBay storefront is installed, the next phase of iBusinessLogic’s redesign of Annie’s eBay store will be to complete an eBay “me” page featuring Annie’s innovative SecondLife Halloween store concept. While new eBay rules will prevent any hard links from the “me” page to the SecondLife site, plans are still to show screenshots or video clips of this virtual world store. The new eBay Stores design was influenced greatly by the concept presented in this SecondLife project. Besides the Second Life Halloween costume shop, Annie’s Costumes also built a virtual haunted house which features blood stained walls and a maze of catacombs underneath the house for Second Lifers to explore and get a thrill. As a sponsor for Halloween Hall of Fame, Annie’s Costumes built a virtual museum to honor the members who have made Halloween a popular holiday. From a mom and pop business to an online Halloween costume shop and an eBay store to a virtual destination, Annie’s Costumes continues to innovate and change how Halloween costumes are sold.

Selecting the upload feature is simple from the integrated inventory console within the AuctionLogic software…

Simply set up your inventory within Excel with the following titles in your spreadsheet, not all of these fields must be populated but the more fields populated within your inventory spreadsheet, the better for your eBay listings.

Controlling your inventory data within your own database in Excel and then uploading that inventory, or a portion of your inventory to eBay through AuctionLogic is a very easy and useful way to populate an eBay account.  From AuctionLogic the inventory can then be sent to Auctions, Fixed Price and Stores channels within eBay.

When a sale is made within any of those three options, the inventory is then adjusted to show remaining items.  Rules can be defined to automatically re-list sold items and unsold items.  Restrictions can also be defined regarding time of re-listing and number of re-lists to limit the merchants exposure to spending eBay fees on non-performing titles or descriptions.

Optimize your listings effectiveness and know at a glance where your inventory is in the eBay marketplace.

Setting the defaults  for all listings is easy in AuctionLogic - Shipping, Payment, and more can be set in a moment within the Admin panel…

This tool is a huge time saver and will automate almost any business wanting to sell product online through eBay.

Drop Shipping merchants will also love this inventory control package in AuctionLogic. Simply re-name the fields in the inventory data from your drop ship company and import. Then set your default preferences for listing and re-listing and launch the drop ship inventory in the eBay marketplace!

My name is Scott Pooler the CEO of iBusinessLogic.com I also write the Trading Assistant Journal, operate another eCommerce/eBay centric company by the name of All Business Auctions and we are proud to have AuctionLogic as part of our family of businesses.

As a company we have been involved with the eBay and eCommerce business for over 10 years. I guess you can say that I am a grass roots blue collar kind of eCommerce merchant. As such, I have tried every inexpensive and some very expensive solutions dedicated to helping merchants present their wares online. Spending untold hours using every other type of listing program out there taught me what was important when it comes to relying on a solution to help me in my business of selling on eBay. I found that solution in what we now call AuctionLogic.

AuctionLogic is a solution - in every sense of the word.

While it is not a free solution, it is the least expensive solution available today  providing the features merchants and consignment sellers need to get both one of a kind and bulk inventory items listed and sold on eBay.

Soon we will be offering multi-channel management with this software package and we are working on an eCommerce management channel as well.

But those two features are in the not so distant future. Lets talk about today…

Today we are offering a stable, up to date, worry free solution which controls repeatable inventory and lists one of a kind items on eBay. This solution can act as a consignment software package because that is where its roots lie. Yet this is so much more than a consignment only product.

Don’t get me wrong, AuctionLogic does consignment like no other solution save one - Auction Sound. If you have read this website you already know that AuctionLogic gets its roots and power from AuctionSound.  Same quality product, same quality tech support. Best in class software!

Why sign up for AuctionLogic?

If your business goals include developing a volume based business, or if you would like to explore management of other small businesses online sales on eBay, then AuctionLogic is your best choice. AuctionLogic provides flat rate pricing - and we provide operational management, along with internal oversight if needed. We also provide a multitude of the other Internet business services like Accounting, Web Design, eMail List Management, Blog Development Services and more. iBusinessLogic knows businesses need to develop an eCommerce presence and we have been working hard on AuctionLogic to fill that need.

This business should not be so difficult, people hear me say that every day.

When I go into a business and tell the owner that we can find a solution for his problems, whether it is AuctionLogic, or web design, or some other solution I don’t even have a hand in… He or She knows I will find them the right solution for the job. AuctionLogic is the best overall eBay listing solution available for mid sized businesses but if you need more power or less capability, I will let you know. As a Company we will try to help you find the right solution for your business. We know that it is long term relationships that matter. Our success depends on our clients trusting we will do the best job we can for them.

There is no other software solution which provides as many features, and as much peace of mind as AuctionLogic.

Not all listing management solutions are right for everyone, but AuctionLogic fills a niche between free tools and pieced together products, and the mega-ultimate multichannel super confusing and very expensive complicated solutions… While we are not the little guy, we aren’t the huge corporation either. We would rather you learn how to do eCommerce with us, and if we canhelp you grow your business to a level where you need a more complicated system, we will be there to help your business make that transition. Whenever making these decisions, we want you to call us first.

New Features Coming!

Soon we will offer a free 30 day trial, We just brought UPS Worldship capabilities to our product, and we are looking towards the future with plans to tailor our software to fit the needs of the bread and butter of American Business. Have a look at AuctionLogic….
