Need a bit of advice...

Once upon a time, we used to sell on Amazon and Ebay and have used various products (Linnworks, Expandly, Channel Grabber) to manage the 2 accounts.

Earlier this year, we fell out slightly with Amazon which led to me telling them to, in the words of Mr Roy Keane - "stick it up their bks".

We now only sell on Ebay, and as such we no longer had the need for a multi-channel tool.

Rather annoyingly though, EBay's invoice printing is bloody awful. I can't customise it so I can't use A4 integrated label paper and I also can't print the SKU onto the invoice (the SKU has a code in which tells me where the item is).

So, does anyone have any recommendations for software that will talk to Ebay & let me print (and customise) invoices. Basically, the shipping bit of Channel Grabber but without paying £150+ per month.

No stock sync levels, listing tools, analytic bullst, just invoice printing.

Linnworks offer a freebie package of up to 50 SKU. Any idea if this would work or would I only be able to print orders from the SKU in Linnworks? I have over 2000 SKU so the full fat Linnworks is a no-go.

Don’t judge it by the website, I nearly bought this through Velstar but the owner wanted a partner rather than sell.
It’s awesome once configured abd about £15 a month.
I think he has a partner now otherwise the support might be a bit “local” but stick with it.

Hmm I'm going to look at Aimco as it hits all my needs (if it's easy to set up?)
I can then lose channel grabber then as to me that's being rather poor! (and pushy sales!)

You can pay them to set it up for you which I would do.

Quick update from me...

I like the look of the Aimco product, but for now have decided to go with the Linnworks "Community" package as it's free. I've connected it to our Ebay store, but not enabled any product importing (so I don't have to worry about the 50 SKU limit). It quite happily is importing orders from Ebay into Linnworks and I've used the (somewhat clunky - nice to see it hasn't changed in 2 years) template designer to sort out my invoice design.

So far, so good. I'm going to stick with Linnworks for now - purely because it's free - but it's good to know there is an alternative at a very reasonable price.
