Feature Requests / Re: Suggestions for download into ActiveList

« Last post by Scott on June 14, 2019, 04:48:35 pm »

Thanks for the input! Although,  I dont fully understand what you mean about the zero price only working for flat shipping... can you elaborate on that (or email me)?

Feature Requests / Suggestions for download into ActiveList

« Last post by SGARBER on June 14, 2019, 09:40:41 am »

For future enhancements, there are a few "ActiveList" columns that would be helpful to me.  First, a column in the "Shipping" section for the item's "Length/width/height" as well as a column for the weight of the item.  This would be nice to have when reviewing the currently listings and comparing them to the shipping boxes and/or envelopes I need to keep on hand.  Ebay forces me to inquire on each listing to review that info.  Then, also in the shipping section, I noticed that there is already some information about the shipping options selected.  However, I think it would be helpful to just indicate "free shipping", if that has been chosen.  I see that it already indicates a zero amount in the "Shipping option 1 Cost" column, but only if the "Flat: Same cost to all buyers" option on ebay was selected.  Basic repricing of items would be made much easier with this information, and would allow me to more quickly evaluate pricing changes without inquiring on individual listings in eBay.  The spreadsheet format is so much nicer than the eBay interface when it comes to providing a shapshot of a entire listing.  I am not sure if any of this information would be helpful to anyone else, and none of it is critical to me....just would be nice.  Thanks for listening.

Feature Requests / Re: Section to record Mileage

I like the idea to record mileage as an expense column for sold items.  I think a $ amount would be sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions / Re: Downloading sales prior to 90 days

Folan63 -
In case you were having trouble adding those older sales manually here is a guide to manually adding sales:
Fill in all required fields, most are obvious, but some are not.  The ones that are hidden by default are marked with (h).  Any that fees that dont apply (like insertion fee, etc) can be left blank, or filled in with 0.
* (h) Item/Transaction ID (put any unique value)
* Item Title
* Quantity
* Sale Date
* (h) Month Sold (the first day of the month the item was sold in, this is for the reports)
* Item Purchase Price (COGS)
* Postage (that you pay to ship)
* Final Value Fee
* Insertion Fees (if any)
* Upgrade Fees (promoted listing etc)
* Paypal (or other payment) fees
* Sale Price
* Shipping (that you charged customer)
Two of those marked with (h) are hidden by default to keep the data clutter to a minimum:
   To Display and manipulate Hidden Columns
1.   Turn ON the "click layout assist" button.
2.   Click a double triangle above one of the vertical bookmark column separator.
3.   If you want to permanently display a column, delete the "h" above that column.
4.   Click the double triange again to rehide the unwanted columns.
5.   Turn OFF the "click layout assist button" (should be kept off when not in use, as it can slightly affect the sheets responsiveness/speed).

Thank you for the compliment! Unfortunately, eBay limits sales data retrieval through their API to 90 days in the past, so we have no way to provide you with that data in an automated fashion.  On the bright side, once your data is downloaded or manually entered and saved in MyCostPro, it will reside there as long as you want, and you will eventually get to see some cool charts and reports for month/month year/year data.  I hope my answer is sufficient, and we hope to see you as an active customer for years to come!

Frequently Asked Questions / Downloading sales prior to 90 days

I just signed up for MyCostPro - what a great program. I was able to download my sales for the past 90 days but I would like to have the entire year (adding January and part of February).  Do I have to do that manually?  Thanks!

How about I add a place to set the "default" in the account info/ settings section, so each user can decide how they like it?  Would that work for you?  Anyone else reading this have an opinion?

Feature Requests / Default to Full Screen

« Last post by MaxCommerce on April 30, 2019, 10:24:01 am »

Making default to full screen so ribbon and tabs are visible would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. While I'm sure it is a small change it would save us a tremendous amount of time in needing to open it up each time it now defaults back to the minimize screen. Perhaps you would want to make it partially hidden so those new to the software wouldn't inadvertently click on it.
