Preferences

Your preferences need to be configured for SellerEngine Plus to work properly. Access them by selecting 'Preferences' from the File menu.

Network Options tab

  • Network timeout - the time (in seconds) that SellerEngine Plus will wait for a connection request to be fulfilled. You may need to use higher values if your connection is slow.
  • HTTP Proxy - if you use a proxy to access internet resources, specify your settings in the provided fields. Otherwise, leave them blank.
  • Update notifications - if checked, SellerEngine Plus will check whether a new version is available upon startup.

Amazon Information tab

  • Seller nickname - the seller nickname you use on Amazon. This information is needed to correctly identify your offers amongst other sellers while price checking.
  • Seller id - your Amazon Seller ID. If you do not know your Seller ID, you can find it by going to the url http://www.amazon.com/seller/[YOUR_NICKNAME_HERE]. You will be redirected to another page. The url will look something like this: http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/user-glance/[YOUR_SELLERID]/102-4610089-0662511
  • Username - the email address associated with your Amazon account.
  • Password - your Amazon password.
  • Platform: Marketplace/Sellercentral/Sellercentral+FBA
    Indicate if you are a Marketplace subscription payer, if you use Amazon's Seller Central management tool to upload or create your inventory and listings or if you are enrolled in the Fulfillment by Amazon Program.
  • In case your account is part of the Sellercentral or the Sellercentral+FBA program, you may need to fill input information related to:

    Your Amazon Business Name: Your Amazon user name
    Your Amazon Merchant Token: A value distributed by Amazon that uniquely identifies a merchant. Your Amazon Merchant Token can be found on the Settings tab of your Seller Central account under Account Info.

Note: Each subscription of SEPlus is linked to one Amazon email. If you need to change the email, SellerID, or Seller Nickname for your account, please contact support.

Item Conditions

  • This panel allows you to order the priority in which conditions will be ranked during price check or when sorting the sellers' offers in the Price Check tab. Select the condition you would like to move, and use the green arrows to change its position in the list. The conditions at the top are prioritized when filters apply during repricing and when sorting items.

Orders Settings

These features only apply to Marketplace items in your inventory. They will NOT apply to FBA orders or update quantities for items contained by any of your shipments.

  • Download orders before uploading your inventory - if checked, when you upload your listings to Amazon SellerEngine Plus will automatically download your orders for you. This feature is useful in combination with the quantity decrease feature (see below) as it will ensure that you don't relist any sold items. Note: This is only the default setting; you can override it in the upload confirmation window.
  • Decrease quantity for associated inventory items - if checked, this will match items in your inventory with sold items from your orders (based on their SKU values) and will decrease the sold quantity of the item from the corresponding inventory item. Note: We highly recommend you use this feature, especially in combination with downloading orders before uploading.
  • Delete item when quantity reaches zero - if checked, items whose quantity decreases to 0 after orders are downloaded will be deleted from your SellerEngine inventory rather than remaining with the quantity set to 0.
  • Automatically acquire sold items every X hours - if checked, this triggers a background process which downloads orders at the interval specified. Please note that this requires the correct Amazon login information to be stored, as you will not be prompted for it.

Price Check Settings

  • Seller retrieval - allows you to define how many listings to retrieve for a given item during a price check. You can use this to make price checking faster and to avoid bogus or noncompetitive sellers from interfering with your reprice.
  • Bandwidth usage - defines how much connexion bandwidth SellerEngine Plus will use. Providing SellerEngine Plus with more bandwidth will make Amazon-related operations proceed faster, but may slow other applications which are running at the same time.
  • Save seller offer comments - price checks retrieve the comments entered by competitors. Note: if you have selected the Debugging setting to not save seller comments in the database, no seller information will be retrieved even if this option is selected.
  • When reference prices are not available, set it to Null instead of zero - If there is no information on which to base your price, if this box is selected your price will be changed to Null. Items cannot be listed on Amazon with a Null price.

Label Printing

  • Select label printer - the printer you select will be used for printing item labels. If no value is set, SellerEngine Plus uses the system-wide default printer.
  • Label type - from the drop-down menu, select the size of labels you are using.
  • Print labels even if the title has not been retrieved - check this box if you want labels printed for items that do not have a title listed in your inventory list.

Debugging

  • Save reprice log information - if checked, a log of your changes will be saved. The log is accessible from from the 'View Reprice Log' button in the 'Price Check' tab in the lower portion of your screen.
  • Do not save seller information in the database - if checked, competitive seller information such as seller comments will not be stored or displayed in the 'Price Check' tab.

Grid Settings

  • Use left alignment for prices in the sellers view list - if checked, the price will be left aligned instead of right aligned in the display of competitive sellers' prices in the 'Price Check' tab.
  • Highlight deleted items - if checked, items in your inventory which have a 'delete' flag set will be highlighted.

Confirmations

  • Confirm inventory item delete - if checked, when you choose to delete an item from your inventory you will get a warning asking you if you really want to delete the item.
  • Check ISBNs after importing a file - if checked, after importing a file, you will be prompted to check ISBN integrity.

Email Settings

  • Default Windows Client- automatically opens your default email application.
  • SEPlus Email Client (allows you to use email templates).In the 'SMTP Server' area write the name of the server that you will use, and then select the port that will be used. The default port is 25. If you want to select a different port, you can do so by writing it in the 'Port' field. After this, write your e-mail address, your user name and the pasword that you have for that e-mail account. In case you want to use a secure connection select between SSL or TSL. When you are done press 'Test connection' to verify that the settings are correct.

Shipment (FBA) Settings

  • Seller name - the nickname of your Amazon account
