Another one...Indaba $199 setup for small business version and $999 setup for the enterprise. Fees are 3% of sales. 

comparison of venues supported (they do ProStores too): http://www.goindaba.com/compare.html
features: http://www.goindaba.com/products.html

Their comparison chart isn't accurate.
AOB also does eBay Stores, Biblio, Valore, A1 Books, and Chrislands.  Chrislands and A1 are pretty new but they've been doing Biblio and Valore and eBay Stores since before I signed on.
Will I get TulipSlapped for calling myself an idiot again?  Laughing7  I should have looked on the Amazon forums where Indaba left a message last week.  :oops: 

Quote:Indaba is reverting to advanced beta status, effective immediately, to resolve software application stability concerns and to operate as an an application research and development group for existing customers.

Indaba will accept no new customers in the short-term, but may eventually add  beta clients that it believes will benefit from using the software

A new Amazon sellers' tool:

Quote:SpaceWare releases AMan Pro, a complete set of management tools for Amazon Marketplace Sellers

Stafford, TX - May 18th, 2006 - SpaceWare, Inc. announced today that they have released AMan Pro, a complete solution for companies or individuals selling on the Amazon 3rd party Marketplace site. Providing a complete listing, pricing and order fulfillment management system, AMan Pro provides all the tools necessary for both US and UK sellers.

Competing on the Amazon Marketplace requires a seller to be more efficient and timely with fulfilling order, setting competitive prices and listing inventory. Packing slips, sending customer emails and printing postage can consume many hours. Prices are constantly changing and have to be adjusted accordingly, bearing in mind the revenue and profit requirements of the seller. Inventory must be replenished to maintain revenue . AMan Pro automates many of these tasks and reduces the time involved considerably without requiring change to the seller's business process.

AMan Pro provides customizable templates for packing slips, invoices and customer emails for the production of these items in bulk. Postage may be printed in bulk with delivery confirmation and cost data being saved. Items with DC may be tracked from the product. . For international orders, customs forms are printed with all the required data filled in. Prices may be manually or automatically adjusted according to a seller's strategy using the comprehensive built-in rules or advanced scripting facility. Automatic, timed repricing and uploads ensures that a seller is always competitive with other sellers. Inventory may be listing individually or in bulk, with the items being scanned in or read in from a variety of file formats.

Thank you for the post of the press release. Unfortunately, press releases tend to be boring and written for journalists. You will find the more interesting information simply by going to http://www.spaceware.com.

The features are very good, but I need support for multiple venues. Any plans to add additional venues in the future?
Sniped by BBH.  I need multiple venue support as well (although Alibris may be getting the boot shortly if it doesn't start pulling its weight).

Same here, Alibris has never been good for CD sales but it was free to list and we did get some sales.  With the new monthly fees ,however it's not really worth listing there.
I've usually done pretty well on Alibris, but I've doubled my inventory and sales have nosedived.    Instead of keeping up there with my AZ sales, which they used to do, they're ranking down there with the free sites like valore and bilbio and half!

Did I mention I love these folks?  I can't think of enough good things to say about the service and the customer service.  Wave
