Configuring Listing Options |
The Listing Options page allows you to configure the data collection and listing parameters for AMan Pro when obtaining information for items in your inventory.
The options available are:
Get Item information - If set, this will cause AMan Pro to obtain competitive pricing information during the repricing process. This should normally be set on unless you wish to reprice all your inventory manually.
Get at least X other offers - This value determines the number of competing sellers to obtain for each item when repricing. The default is 6 which will actually obtain the 9 lowest competing seller offers. If you set this value to 10 or more, it will significantly slow down the repricing process as AMan Pro will have to obtain a lot more data from the Amazon web site.
Queue after entering - If set, AMan Pro will automatically queue an item when entered in the List an Item screen (see Listing a Single Item) and clear the screen awaiting the next item. This is useful if you are scanning in a large amount of items and want to do it as quickly as possible as when you scan, AMan Pro will save the item information and move on to the next. if you use this option, you will then have to upload the items in pending Uploads later.
List after entering - If set, this option will cause AMan Pro to automatically list an item after being scanned or entered in the List an Item screen (see Listing a Single Item). AMan Pro will list the item with a price calculated using your pricing rules.
Hide Penny Sellers - If set, AMan Pro will not display competing items that are being offered at one penny. This can be useful to get rid of the clutter in the List an Item screen when there are many penny sellers.
Message if item not found - If set AMan Pro will display a message if you enter an item in the List an Item screen and it was not found in the Amazon catalog. This should normally be set on.
Display Item Image - If set, AMan Pro will display the image or the item being listed/modified in the List an Item screen. It is recommended that this be left on. However, it does cause a slight delay on the List an Item screen as AMan Pro has to obtain the image..
If already queued, offer edit - If set (default), AMan Pro will prompt you if you enter an item that is already in Pending Uploads when using the List an Item screen. Once prompted you can elect to edit the item's quantity which will prevent you having multiple listings for items that are identical.
If already listed, offer edit - If set (default), AMan Pro will prompt you if you enter an item that is already in actively listed on Amazon when using the List an Item screen. Once prompted you can elect to edit the item's quantity which will prevent you having multiple listings for items that are identical.
Get Weight/Dimensions when first listing items - For some items (esp. books) the Amazon catalog provides the weight and dimensions of items. AMan Pro is able to obtain this information which can then be used to automatically calculate the weight of orders for you. Setting this option will obtain this information when you first list the item. If you are using the Internet postage functionality of AMan Pro (see Creating Internet Postage with AMan and DAZzle), this can be quite a time saving option.
Get Weight/Dimensions for exiting items - For some items (esp. books) the Amazon catalog provides the weight and dimensions of items. AMan Pro is able to obtain this information which can then be used to automatically calculate the weight of orders for you. Setting this option will obtain this information every time you reprice an item. It is highly recommended that you not set this option as it slows down the repricing option..
