Chris,
Sorry to hear you're having a problem, let me see what I can do to get you up and running ASAP.
Can you send me an email at support@mycostpro.com with your version of excel, and a screenshot of the error message (if there is one).

Which version of excel are you using?  It is possible that you need to enable activeX content...

Technical Support / Re: Not loading 90 days of data

« on: March 08, 2017, 05:13:00 am »

Hi Erol,
It sounds like you found where to change it on the Account Info tab, are you sure you clicked the button under it that says "reset download duration" after you changed it to "90"?
After that all you need to do is go to the Sold Item tab and check for sold items again...
Please try that and let me know!

Click the "Click layout assist" button to turn it "ON", then click the double triangles above the word "Listing" on the vertical blue section bookmark column.
It also shows how to do that in video tutorial #1 if you want to see it visually.

Feature Requests / Re: A version of Mycostpro for Etsy?

« on: March 07, 2017, 04:38:43 am »

Were you looking for something to manually add your sales to or are you asking about something that is connected to etsy?
Our future plans involve adding additional platforms to the automated data gathering (including etsy).  It is a ways down the pipeline though as there is quite a bit of development involved.

MyCostPro Updates and Version History / Re: New Version Release 1/29/2017 - Download it Now!

Hi,
The (1) in the file name indicates that windows saved a file with the same name as a file that already existed (it adds the 1 to make the file name unique).  When you transfer the data from the old sheet to the new one, it changes the name of the old sheet to have "old" in the file name in step 1, then it creates an archive of the old file with the date in the file name as a backup.  You can delete the one that says old after you have setup the new file.  I recommend keeping the archive (the one with the date) for at least a little while incase there are any issues you dont see right away.
Sorry for the delay in responding, im not sure how I missed this post...

Hi Ron,
The "widget" boxes on the home page are set to only calculate when the home page is activated when going to it from another page.  This keeps it from having to calculate continuously whenever data is edited and on load up, where it may slow down the load process.
Please go to the sold list (or any other tab) and then click to go back to the Home... it should update all of the widgets as it opens.
Let me know if you still have any trouble with that.

The sorting is a good suggestion, I will add it to the list of future update items to allow you to select your preference from the settings tab.
Can you post this in the "feature request" section so other's can comment and fine-tune the idea?

For the inventory question, I apologize I thought it was cleared up because you were looking at the 2016 version of the sheet...  The Pro/2017 sheet does not track inventory that way.  The Pro sheet was designed to allow you to directly control the listing quantity of the live listing, which was intended to replace that functionality from 2016.

Technical Support / Re: Stopped Importing Sold Items?

« on: February 20, 2017, 05:16:10 am »

Hmmm.  Im not sure what happened there, but im sure we can fix it.

If you still have the original problem file, in that case I would go to the account info tab, and manually set the number of days to go back to the missing sales.  This will grab those missing sales, it was most likely that you had checked for sales and they werent available yet from the API, so they got "skipped".

If you are importing to a new version of the file, make sure you do the import step before running any sold calls.  It sounds like you might have not made that the first step.  Please let me know so I can get you up and running again ASAP.

Yes, its pretty simple too!  Make sure to unhide  (column B) "Item/Transaction ID (Unique)", and put in a unique value here.  This will "reserve" the row for your custom entry.
You can put whatever you like... for example "Bonanaza1" or whatever.

Try it out and let me know if you have any trouble.
Thanks,
Scott

eBay and PayPal Fees / A printable quick reference chart for break even point

« on: February 09, 2017, 07:01:34 pm »

Print this out to take with you bargain hunting.  Find the intersection of the purchase price and the estimated shipping cost... and that is the price you need to sell it for to break-even (make zero dollars).
Enjoy.

Feature Requests / Re: Additional Data columns

« on: February 07, 2017, 06:01:09 am »

Thanks for posting, these seem like good future additions for permanent columns.  In the mean-time, did you explore the "extra" columns that are available and hidden by default?  If you are unsure of how to hide and unhide columns, please watch some of the video tutorials, such as video 1 (around the 3:45 mark)
