eBay order sorting software

[StottyEvo]

Currently I use Seller Manager Pro to print my orders, this only has the capability to print in "Sales Record" order. I'm looking for a system that will import my orders and group similar products together etc this will save a lot of time when it comes to picking/packing.

Does anybody use anything like this or have any recommendations?

Google "aimco" it's like having an extra pair of hands well worth the £70 a year licence.

Linnworks?

Might be a bit "overkill" but you can certainly group by SKU in the "Orders" bit.

Never heard of this one, might have a look at it. I use linnworks, like the previous poster, it is a little overkill but its reliable and just works!

In one of my old businesses we used eSellerPro (now Volo). We processed around 1,000 orders a day through it and its the best out there IMO. That said, it's not cheap!

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm using AIMCO packing partner today, just setting it up and seeing how I get on. I'll also be looking into the other recommendations tonight and see what is the best for my requirements.

Once set up, packing partner works great for us, combines orders from same buyer, groups same items together, produces shipping labels in same order as packing sheets, formats address correctly on labels and prints 1st, 2nd class or couroiur label as selected by the buyer.

How long have you been using the software? As it been reliable and have you ever had to use their customer service for an issue?

Thanks

More years than I care to remember, occasionally when Amazon or eBay update somthing it can throw a wobbler, usually fixed by 10am, by occasionally I can count on one hand these instances.

Have used both phone and online support, wouldn't hesitate to recommend, how do you print your labels? We use a dymo for Royal Mail and whatever DPD provided, it picks these up also and prints the lot in sequence as printed and sorted on the packing sheets, when we first started using it it was like having another employee for free.

eta, pop on their website, you can download a free 7 or 14 day trial.

Thanks 1441. I currently use linnworks for part of the business but its quite expensive I feel at approx £100 quid a month. One time it throw a wobbly due to a "database" update on their end and they didn't care that much at all. Apparently I was not on a corporate package so said open a support ticket and there is no way they would help me over the phone. At 100 quid a month I expect phone support. I did open a suppot ticket and it took over 24 hours to resolve. As you can imagine when you have orders to send out same day that is too long.

The corporate was something like £250-500 a month I am sure.

I think linnworks is good but its really overkill for me, I just need something that was collate my orders and print out labels, its that simple.

This one seems much cheaper for the functionality I need so I might give it a try. Thank you for your insight.

If you do try the free trial feel free to pm me I'll give you our number, we have a wiz kid here who set ours up properly we had it running before he joined us but didn't make full use of it even though we thought we was if that makes sense, don't mind giving you 1/2,hour of his time as long as it's not on a Monday to help you with its features.

I guess it depends how many orders you are doing per day as to what software tool you use top help you with the job. Personally we use our own system but if you're fairly serious i hear Volo is good.

Holy thread revival!

Thanks to 1441 for recommending Aimco Packing Partner almost 3 years ago, we've been using the software since and it has been fantastic for our needs. Unfortunately now we're getting too many orders and the software crashes intermittently.

Can anyone recommend a order sorting application that can deal with a high volume of orders on eBay/Amazon?

Linnworks works pretty well for us.

There;s also Dear Inventory.

Have a look at peoplevox im seeing more and more etailers using it. (We nearly partnered amico packing partner, nice guy - hope it’s not deteriorating)

[StottyGTR]

Linnworks looks perfect, I'm going to trial it and hopefully it will suit our needs. Peoplevox looks good but it doesn't look as integrated to eBay as Linnworks. I'll give Linnworks a punt, if I don't like it I'll move to Peoplevox.

Packing partner is going well, I just think we're overwhelming the software. We can only collect one page at a time so 200 orders, it took almost 2hours to collect and print our orders after the bank holiday the other week!!

There's another one called zenstores

We use linnworks desktop and it's clunky, they want everyone to move to the new online version, and it's pricey.

[jamoor]

Actually would something like shiptheory work?

[mickytruelove]

we have just moved to linnworks 2 months ago and it seems pretty solid so far. We run a shopify site, ebay and Amazon from it in all european languages and it handles it no bother. Intergrates with all popular shipping companines and has packing lists and uses barcodes with a dispatch screen for shipping labels.

Linnworks + shopify is roughly £200 a month. Add as many shopify sites or ebay/amazon accounts as you want it costs no more. will report back in 6 months but it seems pretty good so far.
