Question index

Which Web browsers does eBay Selling Manager Pro support?
eBay Selling Manager supports Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions, Netscape 3.0 and later versions as well as AOL 3.0 and later versions. Because it is an online tool, it does not have any operating systems dependency.

Question index

Can I manage items listed on other sites?
eBay Selling Manager Pro allows you to manage your items listed on all eBay sites. However, you can only access the tool on the site you are subscribed to. For example, eBay.ca subscribers will be able to manage their listings on eBay.com and elsewhere from My eBay on eBay.ca.

Question index

How much does it cost to use the eBay Selling Manager Pro tool?
eBay Selling Manager Pro is available via a monthly subscription. As a new user, you will have a one-month free trial. After your trial month ends, you will be charged a monthly subscription fee. Your monthly subscription fee will be automatically added to your eBay account and will appear on your monthly invoice.

As a seller, you will still be responsible for all fees that would normally be associated with listing your item for sale on eBay except for the Listing Designer fee which is free for Selling Manager Pro users. Other fees include Insertion, Final Value, and Optional Feature fees. Click here to learn more about fees.

Question index

How will I be invoiced?
Your free one-month trial appears on your invoice as a one-time credit equal to the monthly subscription fee.

As a new subscriber, your next invoice will show three lines of activity:

  • A one-time prorated charge based on the number of days left in your billing cycle when you started the subscription
  • The regular monthly subscription fee covering the next billing cycle in advance
  • A one-time credit for the free one-month trial, equal to the regular monthly subscription fee
Although it may appear as if you are being charged for the first 30 days, a month's worth of credit is posted to your account to offset the charge. If you decide to cancel your subscription anytime during the free trial period, the remaining subscription balance would be credited back to your account and appear on the invoice following this one.

Seller's Assistant Questions

What if I am using Seller's Assistant and want to try Selling Manager Pro?
When you subscribe to Selling Manager Pro as a Seller's Assistant Pro user, you will only be charged one fee a month. You can have access to both Selling Manager Pro and Seller's Assistant Pro.

In addition, to save you more time we have made it easy to import your Seller's Assistant Pro items into Selling Manager Pro. You won't need to create all your items again. You simply select all the items you want to import into Selling Manager Pro and choose the export option in the file menu.

This offer is only available to Seller's Assistant Pro users and not Seller's Assistant Basic users.

Question index

How is eBay Selling Manager Pro different from Seller's Assistant Pro?
Seller's Assistant Pro is a desktop software program that creates and uploads eBay listings, as well as helps with sales management like tracking items, sending feedback, or emailing buyers.

eBay Selling Manager Pro performs these same functions online in My eBay. No download is necessary. In addition, Selling Manager Pro is a global tool and enables you to manage and list your items on all eBay international sites.

We created Selling Manager Pro to improve your efficiency and experience when managing your listings online. We wanted to offer some powerful new features you have been asking for, such as fully customizable email templates, bulk email, feedback and printing, as well as reporting and bulk listing all in My eBay.

Question index

How will eBay Selling Manager Pro affect Seller's Assistant Basic and Pro?
eBay Selling Manager Pro will neither affect Seller's Assistant Pro nor Seller's Assistant Basic. We are planning on supporting all of our existing tools at this time.
