Tradevine has just made its 1,000,000 listing on Trade Me.
We are all really excited on reaching such an epic milestone since coming out of beta 10 months ago.
The auction in question is a classic(!) 1993 movie ‘National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon‘. Check it out.
Release Date: Tues 30 Oct 2012 5:00pm
It is now possible to import your sales orders into Tradevine from a CSV type file. This should be useful for users with OpenCart and Magento web-stores. If you are exporting your sales orders from Magento or OpenCart, then please contact us about installing an Extension to assist with creating your export files or view our Help file instructions.
The Import Orders screen can be found under the Sales menu.
For more explicit information on the expected sales order data, refer to the sales orders Import Fields Help page.
If you’re not integrated with Xero, you can now reconcile your unpaid sales orders by importing an online file from your bank.
The QIF type file (Quicken Interchange Format) can be downloaded online from your bank. From the Reconcile Orders screen (under the Sales menu), simply upload the QIF file. You can then match bank deposits to sales orders. Whenever you select a bank deposit, we will attempt to best guess the sales orders which match, by targeting the bank’s reference fields and the dollar value of the sales order. You can then opt to mark any matching sales orders as paid or you can ignore any of the remaining unmatched items.
We can now create sales orders for any Trade Me sales, that include an Australian shipping address.
If you configured your global Trade Me settings to flag invalid or unknown addresses, then the sales orders with Australian shipping addresses will also be flagged for your attention.
We have made some changes behind the scenes, to improve the speed performance of the Product List views.
It is now possible to confirm multiple shipments in bulk from the Shipments List. This option allows you to email the shipment details to your customers, but you won’t be able to download any paperwork for the shipments.
If you prefer to include the tracking references for each shipment, then may prefer to use Fast Shipping instead.
You can now view a larger version of your listing and product thumbnail images by clicking on the thumbnail. This will pop-up a larger image. Just click on or outside the image to close the pop-up.
Now when you view the details of a product, the Information tab includes the product’s volume. This will only be calculated if the length, height and width have been provided.
The Dashboard now has a new link called Sales orders with public notes. This will link to the Sales Orders List and show all the sales orders that are either Pending or Awaiting Shipment, that have public notes. This is useful for sellers if their customers input colour or size or specific shipping instructions in the buyer message in Trade Me.
Alternatively, you can search the Sales Order List yourself by applying a filter using the With/Without Notes options.
When confirming a purchase order, you previously had the options to email or print a PDF. Those options are still available, but now you also have the option to bypass emailing or printing a PDF.
There are no changes to product importing for this release.
All of these improvements are based on customer feedback. We are planning to release further improvements on a regular basis.
