Just got an invite to use Crazy Lister.

Bit of a worry when some of the email doesnt work but when i found the photo of the Crazy Lister inventor i thought, ahhh yes.

Auctiva has already removed active content from their listings.

One of the major issues with Auctiva right now is the non-compliance with active content.
If you don't have any active content in your listings then it won't be a concern for you.

Auctiva has removed all active content from active listings.

$36 a month would be alright.... if there were enough features, and with a high volume of listings where changes need to happen on a continual basis, which in all reality for most sellers they don't all that often in listing descriptions (wouldn't be cost effective for me, TBH, I have a bit over 500 listings and would tend to think the cost would be more feasible at around at least 1000. It took me a few weeks to update my listings for the active content changes, doing anywhere from 5-50 in a day, but 95% of the time my templates / descriptions don't need any changes at all).

Depends on the other features and benefits, I guess - unique and professional templates are attractive, but you can buy them outright rather than "lease" them, which I'm personally more inclined to do. I note that one customer's feedback on the site is attributing using Crazy Lister with a 75% increase in sales. That's a nice stat, but a 75% increase could be going from 4 sales a week to 7 (or 4000 to 7000), so for those that like to see quantified data, that's a claim to dismiss more than anything else.

To get me to go from doing manual updates with a template I essentially own permanently (regardless of the status of the site that helped me create it), to using a service that is paid for on a continual basis (as opposed to once-off costs), it would need to solve multiple problems and eliminate those found with other automated / synced listing tools (I may be wrong, but it seems like third party tools create more issues with stock keeping, sold out and ended listings reappearing etc).

Good points,
the Crazylister pricing starts at $9/mo ($7/mo paid annually).
the $36 plan is for more established sellers who have a full time business on eBay.
If you look at other eCommerce solutions who offer a wide variety of features (order processing, inventory sync, repricing...) they all start from $200/mo and go up to $15,000 (ChannelAdvisor).
Eventually it's the value you gain from using these tools, definitely agree with that.

If that is the case then why post here? You can probabyl tell that the vast majority of sellers who populate this board are not what you would call an an established and full time bussiness which would benefit from spending $36 a month.

Lots of established sellers have a full time business on ebay

Doesn't always equal a wage though

I didn't post the initial message...I just replied to the person who asked about it, that's why I'm not trying to convince anyone here 🙂
I don't talk about how Crazylister is better than any other solution out there, I don't advertise any key features that no other solution has...it's simply not relevant for this group as you said.
Non the less, I'm happy to answer any questions if people are interested to know more as I've been a seller on eBay for 9+ years, won eBay awards for excellence in sales and I know quite a bit about eBay and I'm happy to help in any case, in my free time I write posts to help eBay sellers and I share the knowledge for free because I think I have something valuable to contribute.

I appreciate your approach to replying in the thread, and that you're making yourself available to respond to points or questions raised here.

I'm just a random person on the internet, and you have no way to verify that I have 500+ listings as I use a different account for my selling, but with variations I have approximately 900 individual product lines (still very much on the lower end of the scale, I know), but I am an established full time seller, and my business is my sole source of income (I use more than one channel to sell, though).

You can also consider I'm less likely to be your target market (meaning what value my comments would have to you is debateable ), because when I invest in my business, I'm significantly more inclined to invest in something that has some semblance of permanency to it (eg I'd buy accounting software over paying for an online service that I can't access or use when my sub runs out), but if I were to seriously look at something like that, I would be more interested in feature-based packages than listing quantity-based ones. I know people can get ticked off at not having access to premium subscriber features, but the lower two tiers kinda come across as tokenistic because 10 / 100 listings would account for a fairly small percentage of listings for anyone who is in the market for such a service. 

Just my (unsolicited) 2 cents.

Thanks for the input,
your feedback is very helpful actually as it's something we're debating internally all the time, how to provide more value for the price.
We release a new feature almost on a weekly basis, sometimes it's something very small, other times it's a game changer.
A year ago the software was maybe 30% value of what it is now. I would say that that's a big difference to what other solutions do.

Thanks again!
