SellerEngine Plus 3.0.22 – September 11, 2012
Features:
- We added a new filter to exclude buckets based on the number of listings in the bucket.
- We added a new option for reference price at step 4 of the repricing wizard: weighted average price of the remaining buckets.
- When the price referred in the limits is a flat amount, we added a checkbox to specify if that amount is with or without shipping included.
- If an item has both New and Used BuyBox prices available, we are now displaying both. If the BuyBox price is referred in the repricing rule, we are using the one matching the inventory item condition. For example, if the inventory item condition is Used-Like New, we are using the Used BuyBox price in the repricing logic.
Bug fixes:
- If the price referred to in the upper or lower limit is missing (e.g. Upper limit = BuyBox price, and there is no Buy Box) we just ignore that limit instead of considering the referred price to be zero, which was leading to incorrect results.
- Fewer bug reports than before.
- We fixed the bug causing the MegaSeller price to not be updated in the inventory grid.
- The ‘Downloading orders’ popup can now be moved or minimized.
- The error message shown in the Price Check tab for the ‘black x’ items is an issue on Amazon’s side where their API is failing to provide the data needed for repricing. In this case SE Plus will try again to retrieve data after a certain amount of time.
- When opening an old database we are compacting it before upgrading.
- We made some fixes to the filter: “Exclude buckets based on their price”: the checkbox “use Price+Shipping” was not working properly. Previously, you were not able to use “zero” in the percentage box.

- We fixed various bugs related to the Item Type icon showing in the inventory grid. Now the item type icons are accurate.
- Copying a database from another location and registering it in another SellerEngine Plus installation no longer loses pricing schemas mapping. We are now storing just the reprice rule name in the database without the full path.
- We fixed a software crash which used to occur when navigating through the inventory using the arrows from the Edit dialog form.
- We fixed the bug which was not allowing a SellerEngine Plus user to mark a shipment to Amazon as “Shipped” from SellerEngine right after it was sent to Amazon as “Working”.

Known Issues:

My Shipping on Amazon – this column is populated with your shipping credit, as you define it in SellerEngine Plus preferences. However, if the item is currently listed in your Amazon account, the shipping credit is overwritten with your actual shipping fee as it is returned by the Amazon API.

SellerEngine Plus 3.0.22 – September 11, 2012
Features:
- We added a new filter to exclude buckets based on the number of listings in the bucket.
- We added a new option for reference price at step 4 of the repricing wizard: weighted average price of the remaining buckets.
- When the price referred in the limits is a flat amount, we added a checkbox to specify if that amount is with or without shipping included.
- If an item has both New and Used BuyBox prices available, we are now displaying both. If the BuyBox price is referred in the repricing rule, we are using the one matching the inventory item condition. For example, if the inventory item condition is Used-Like New, we are using the Used BuyBox price in the repricing logic.
Bug fixes:
- If the price referred to in the upper or lower limit is missing (e.g. Upper limit = BuyBox price, and there is no Buy Box) we just ignore that limit instead of considering the referred price to be zero, which was leading to incorrect results.
- Fewer bug reports than before.

- The ‘Downloading orders’ popup can now be moved or minimized.
- The error message shown in the Price Check tab for the ‘black x’ items is an issue on Amazon’s side where their API is failing to provide the data needed for repricing. In this case SE Plus will try again to retrieve data after a certain amount of time.
- When opening an old database we are compacting it before upgrading.
- We made some fixes to the filter: “Exclude buckets based on their price”: the checkbox “use Price+Shipping” was not working properly. Previously, you were not able to use “zero” in the percentage box.

- We fixed a software crash which used to occur when navigating through the inventory using the arrows from the Edit dialog form.
- We fixed the bug which was not allowing a SellerEngine Plus user to mark a shipment to Amazon as “Shipped” from SellerEngine right after it was sent to Amazon as “Working”.

My Shipping on Amazon – this column is populated with your shipping credit, as you define it in SellerEngine Plus preferences. However, if the item is currently listed in your Amazon account, the shipping credit is overwritten with your actual shipping fee as it is returned by the Amazon API.

SellerEngine Plus 3.0.22 – September 11, 2012
Features:
- We added a new filter to exclude buckets based on the number of listings in the bucket.
- We added a new option for reference price at step 4 of the repricing wizard: weighted average price of the remaining buckets.
- When the price referred in the limits is a flat amount, we added a checkbox to specify if that amount is with or without shipping included.
- If an item has both New and Used BuyBox prices available, we are now displaying both. If the BuyBox price is referred in the repricing rule, we are using the one matching the inventory item condition. For example, if the inventory item condition is Used-Like New, we are using the Used BuyBox price in the repricing logic.
Bug fixes:
- If the price referred to in the upper or lower limit is missing (e.g. Upper limit = BuyBox price, and there is no Buy Box) we just ignore that limit instead of considering the referred price to be zero, which was leading to incorrect results.
- Fewer bug reports than before.
- We fixed the bug causing the MegaSeller price to not be updated in the inventory grid.
- The ‘Downloading orders’ popup can now be moved or minimized.
- The error message shown in the Price Check tab for the ‘black x’ items is an issue on Amazon’s side where their API is failing to provide the data needed for repricing. In this case SE Plus will try again to retrieve data after a certain amount of time.
- When opening an old database we are compacting it before upgrading.
- We made some fixes to the filter: “Exclude buckets based on their price”: the checkbox “use Price+Shipping” was not working properly. Previously, you were not able to use “zero” in the percentage box.

- We fixed a software crash which used to occur when navigating through the inventory using the arrows from the Edit dialog form.
- We fixed the bug which was not allowing a SellerEngine Plus user to mark a shipment to Amazon as “Shipped” from SellerEngine right after it was sent to Amazon as “Working”.

My Shipping on Amazon – this column is populated with your shipping credit, as you define it in SellerEngine Plus preferences. However, if the item is currently listed in your Amazon account, the shipping credit is overwritten with your actual shipping fee as it is returned by the Amazon API.
