After 3 years of not selling, I'm ready to begin again. Vendio was Auction Watch when I used Sales Manager before.
What are the advantages of posting and maintaining auctions with Vendio?
Since I'll only be listing 5 or 6 items each week, I'm wondering if it's worth paying Vendio as well as the eBay fees.

Hi tynah ...
of COURSE they're worth it!!!
I've used them since they were auctionwatch too ...
and just think, if you're only listing 5 or 6 things per week, if you have a 40-50% sell through rate, that will leave you with some of your done-up listings, unsold, but only for the time-being ... vendio would help you hang on to all that work you did, and call it back up in a couple months to tweak a little and put it back on ebay again ... (and you know the fall and winter months are always the best for ebay sales) ...
I am a happy member who has been with them for many years, while they helped me along through our ebay sellings of antiques, and contributing to our more than 7,000 successful sales. ...
best of luck to you!

Hi. Just a suggestion: If you are only listing 5-6 items a week, think about starting out relatively $$$ risk free with vendio's no monthly fee pay as you go plan. You get charged only with small listing and post sale fees and the images are free. There is no monthly ongoing overhead to cover above that. You still have full feature access to all the tools and checout just like any other basic vendio plan. That means you still make money even if you only do one auction--whether one a month or one a year. And if you stop listing for whatever reason for a week or a month (to work on templates or glitches, or setup, or whatever), no auctions, no fees. Then when everything is smooth you can select a monthly fee plan best for your increased volume, but it takes a volume much higher than yours to make the change to a plan with an ongoing monthly rate a cost saver. Good luck!
