Auctiva Commerce Unveils Flat-Rate Pricing with No Transaction Fees

April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- CHICO, Calif., April 28, 2011 — Auctiva Corp., the largest eBay Certified Developer, introduces new flat-rate pricing for Auctiva Commerce, its fully featured e-commerce solution.

Auctiva Commerce (http://www.auctivacommerce.com) lets online sellers do business their way, completely independently, while keeping more of the profits for themselves. Sellers can choose an Auctiva Commerce plan suited to their individual business needs, and pay a flat store fee each month—with no transaction fees.

"The the new pricing plans are going to be a big hit with merchants—for many, they will actually be cheaper than our old pricing plan, and they have the added benefit of being a fixed cost every month," says Chris Eckland, Auctiva Commerce product lead. "This should help our merchants to budget and plan, as they won't have to think about how much Auctiva Commerce fees will be, month to month."

As an introductory bonus, new signups by May 31 will get 25 percent more product capacity. Auctiva Commerce is also waiving any storage or bandwidth overage fees through July.

A new feature of the Auctiva Commerce flat-rate plans is the inclusion of Auctiva's premium tools for eBay sellers—including unlimited listing service, professional templates, generous image hosting, multi-variation listing support and more. Previously, a subscription to Auctiva Commerce included Auctiva's free eBay marketing tools, such as the popular Scrolling Gallery. Access to eBay listing and management tools required an account upgrade.

Auctiva Commerce was first introduced two years ago to give eBay sellers an easy and affordable way to grow their online businesses. Early adopters provided valuable input to help the developers prioritize enhancements and refinements—for instance, revisions to the Bulk Edit tool, and the introduction of the Store Designer customization suite. As a result, Auctiva Commerce today offers all the features, functionality and ease-of-use required for success in online sales. But there are no plans on stopping there.

"In fact, right now we are re-engineering our product import tool to include many more fields," Eckland adds. "This will allow merchants to more completely stock their stores, or perform spreadsheet-based edits of existing items. We're also very close to releasing support for Yahoo! Shopping and Shopping.com feeds, both of which are features our users have requested."

Starting at $24.95/mo., every Auctiva Commerce plan includes:
•   FREE 30-day trial
•   Absolutely NO transaction fees
•   Live customer support
•   Multiple payment gateways
•   Automated search engine feeds
•   Drag-and-drop storefront customization
•   95+ fully customizable storefront themes
•   Unlimited product categories and subcategories
•   Custom domain name
•   $50 AdWords credit
•   Easy import of saved Auctiva listings to your Auctiva Commerce store
•   Auctiva.com premium tools for eBay
•   And much more.
