• Delete Type for Media Items (For Non Media Items deleting an item is completely removing it): Choose between Close Listings (SKU Reuse) or Completely Remove Listings.

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.

• Order Report Name: Choose between "Order"- Marketplace format and "OrderReport" - SellerCentral merchants that have upgraded their order reports.
• 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. Choose between 'Get all sellers from Amazon' and 'Limit the number of retrieved sellers to (edit number)/condition.'
• Retrieve quantity for competition (no shipping) or Retrieve shipping for competition (no quantity).  Choose from whether you would like to see quantity information about your competitors in the grid, or if you'd like to see the total price + shipping in the grid. You can switch back and forth between these, but you will need to initiate a price check every time you do so to see the correct information.
• Bandwidth usage - defines how much 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.
• When multiple ASINs are available for my item: 'Ask me which one to use' or 'Always pick the ASIN with the best sales rank'. When an item has more than one catalog page, we'll show you the duplicates and ask you which one to use. If you always want to use the item with the best sales rank, change the default here.
• 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.
• Retrieve ImageURL from Amazon-
• 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.
• Select label report type: Select from SKU Label or UPC Label depending on what you would like to print on the label.
• Select Label type - from the drop-down menu, select the size of labels you are using. Choose 'Custom Width' x1 -1 per page to use a Dymo printer. We suggest using a Zebra LP2844 printer with 2x1 labels. You can also use the 30 per page option to use your laser printer.
• Paper Orientation: Portrait or Landscape.
• 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.
• Do not print labels if sorter result is "throw": If you are using a sorter while printing inventory labels, this option will not print a label you don't need if the result is throw.

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.
• Log Price Check Errors - if checked, a log of any errors during the repricing process will be saved.
• Save FBA Requests/Responses log: if checked, a log of any errors during the FBA  process will be saved.

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. Checking this option might slow down application performance.

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.

Sounds

• Play sounds for errors- Checking this box will play a sound when an item errors.

Compact Database

• Compact database when closing the application- This option should be checked by default.  When closing SellerEngine Plus, it is advisable to compact the database every time to keep your database a manageable size.

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 editing the 'Port' field. After this, enter 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 click 'Test connection' to verify that the settings are correct.

Shipment Settings - Required for FBA users

The following settings are required by SellerEngine Plus to interact with the Amazon FBA platform and they are only displayed if the user has registered as a Sellercentral+FBA subscriber in the Amazon Information area. If you do not enter your ship from address, you will run into errors during your credential check.

• Seller name - the nickname of your Amazon account
• Address line 1
• Address line 2
• City, State, Postal code. Please confirm that you use CAPITAL letters when entering your state.
• Country - Must be the two character abbreviation of your country, ie, US.
