As title states, Auctiva will be charging (a big charge too) on fees starting July 1st.


Anyone have suggestions on an AUTO-RELISTER and AUCTION SCHEDULAR? ...preferably free ones?

(those are the big 2 that I use from Auctiva)

Linky Here

Auctiva is offering a "Free Marketing Tools" plan that includes the Scrolling Gallery, 1 MB of image hosting, Sellathon counters and auto-marketing emails.

The Professional Seller plan will cost $34.95/month plus 12 cents/listing, with zero transaction fees. It includes a free Auctiva Commerce store, and fees are capped at $250/month. A High Volume Seller plan costs $24.95/month with zero listing fees and a 1.75% transaction fee - Auctiva said this is good for sellers with high listing volume and low average sales price.

The Part Time Seller plan costs $9.95/month plus 6 cents/listing and a 1 percent transaction fee. It includes an Auctiva Commerce store for $4.98/month.

The "No Monthly Fee" plan for casual eBay sellers costs 12 cents/listing and a 1.25 percent transaction fee.

Auctiva's Image Hosting plan will be free for the first 1 megabyte of storage, and $1.95/month for between 1 - 5 megabytes of storage up to $34.95/month for over 250 megabytes of storage. There's also a Big Ticket Seller plan. Auctiva said templates come free with all plans, but cost $4.95 for people who do not list with Auctiva and do not want to select any of its pricing plans.

See Auctiva's website for up-to-date details on its various pricing plans.

You better check
inkfrog.com

You can have several eBay accounts with one $9.99 montly fee. They have much more tools than Auctive and I hope that they will not change their fees.

Crap...so image hosting is now NOT free after the first 1MB? That sucks!!! Any way for me to know how many MBs I've already uploaded on there?

To echo OP's question...where can I get free image listing?

InkFrog is ready...

I love this...apparently inkfrog is already prepping for the loads of Auctiva users to transfer over there. I might just do it if I can't find free image hosting. Waiting for their Auctiva importing tool.

Auctiva really needs to take a couple lessons from eBay on how to warm up the water slowly to prevent all the frogs from hopping out.

does it have automatic winning emails sent to the buyers?

I would also be interested in a free/lowcost alternative for an amateur seller. I only list and sell about 10-15 items a month max.

Vendio Makes Platform Free for Auctiva's eBay Sellers.

Link

Vendio is making a special offer to users of its rival, Auctiva, which will begin charging for its eBay listing tools beginning in July. Vendio spokesperson Crystal Wells-Miller said the Vendio Platform, which normally costs $10/month plus commission fees, will be completely free for Auctiva users through the end of the year, and will cost $10/month with no commission fees for the full year, 2010. The Vendio platform allows sellers unlimited listings on eBay and Amazon and also includes the company's Vendio Store offering, which is currently free for all users. The offer includes 2 GB of images (and unlimited free images for Vendio Store), templates and scheduling.............

What is the advantage to using these services such as Vendio? What do they do that a powerseller can't do on his own?

A bit of backtracking from Auctiva:


First of all, I would like to start out by saying that as Auctiva's founder and CEO, I am very sorry and humbly apologize for any frustration and anxiety we caused you to experience about the future of your business over the past week and a half. I know that these recent events have greatly upset our community and I take full responsibility for that. I am asking you to give me a chance to make it right.
Flat Rate Pricing

Auctiva is officially moving to flat monthly pricing: $9.95/mo. everything included

* 1GB Image Hosting
* A Faster, Easier-To-Use One-page Lister
* Bigger Supersized Images
* Better-looking Templates
* eBay's Most Popular Scrolling Gallery
* Free Scheduling
* 24/7 Customer Support
* plus all of our other time and money saving tools

In addition to our Standard flat rate plan, we have a special Starter flat rate plan for ultra-casual sellers: $2.95/mo., up to 15 listings, 500MB image hosting.

And the competition not far behind!

------------------------
This is Greg Sisung again - the President of inkFrog. I have just gotten word that our biggest competitor has changed their pricing (yet again), so I wanted to send an email to all of you with an incredible new offer which is pretty crazy!

I got together with our entire team here at inkFrog and we talked about what we can do to really blow your socks off. I wanted to offer you something that shows how committed we are to you, while giving you something that nobody else can offer. We also wanted to make sure we help you become successful. After all, if you do not succeed, we do not succeed. I think I have come up with just the right offer for you!

Ok, So what is the offer?
If you are not aware yet, we also own Buyitsellit.com which allows you to build your own stores using your own domain name. In order to truly help your success of selling online, I have decided to give all current members of inkFrog (and anyone who signs up for inkFrog before July 31st) a FREE Buyitsellit.com store for 2 years. Yes, this means you get the store for FREE! This is a $9.95/month value which you will get for FREE! This goes for all current inkFrog members as well as new members. All you have to do is signup for inkFrog before July 31st. (Yes, existing and "paying" Buyitsellit store members, you will get your stores for free too!).

If you are not familiar with Buyitsellit.com yet, it's the best online e-commmerce solution around. And once again, you get this for FREE. You can even use your own domain name for your store. This is not your typical storefront either! This is the best online storefronts around (just ask our customers!)

As if this wasn't enough, we wanted to do even more! Part of selling and being successful online is learning how to sell correctly on eBay. Everyone can learn more to increase their sales. We have your answer! Our answer is our very own Debbie Levitt (or as we call her, eBay Guru).

Many of you already met Debbie Levitt during the last webinar and already know how much she can teach you about selling on eBay. She is an eBay "guru" consultant and we are very excited to have her as our Director of Marketing. More importantly, we are committed to helping to teach you how to be successful online sellers. Thus, by being an inkFrog member, you will get exclusive access to all of our future webinars as well as our education center (releasing soon) which will help teach you eBay strategies! There is nowhere else you can get the tools we offer, the storefront, our consulting, and education for only $9.95/month! Joining inkFrog truly will more than pay for itself year after year!

So, lets recap:
That means you get inkFrog, Buyitsellit, Consulting, eBay Education, and webinars for only $9.95/month! How can we even do so much for so little? Well, the answer is we really do rock! Don't forget we also offer the $9.95/month price lock guarantee for 3 years. You just can't find the type of value we provide (long term) anywhere!

Ok, I know you all have many questions and want to know how to get this offer. Please know there is nothing you need to do and everyone will get it as long as you are a subscribing member of inkFrog before July 31st. We will be releasing details on how to signup and/or accept this offer very shortly. There is nothing you need to do except stay tuned for our updates. We hope to have the signup process available within the next few days. We wanted to get this information out to you as soon as possible while we work on the integration with our billing. Please stay tuned for an email from me with an update on this.

As always, I hope I have exceeded your expectations. I want to give all of our customers more than they bargain for and feel we have accomplished this since we started in 1999. I hope that we have once again succeeded in doing so. I also want to make sure you are aware of our webinar which will help teach you inkFrog and convert your listings to us. The webinar is Thursday, June 11 at 11:00 PDT time. If you are interested in joining the webinar, please signup here.

Regards,
Greg Sisung

Doesn't seem like they are offering their eBay services for free though which is what most of us are looking for. Or maybe I got lost in the long email?
