FillZ Newsletter

February, 2011

Dear Sellers,

If there's one thing we know for sure about this business it's that it's constantly evolving. Let us help you keep up.

Price competitively. Did you know that along with up to 40 of the lowest prices on Amazon we also grab Amazon's price and availability, MSRP, and sales rank? We know the competition's star rating, feedback rating, quantity of product, and whether or not their product is available for super saver shipping. Use this data to set the best prices online. Here's how!

Expand your presence. The international Amazon sites offer great exposure and a definite boost in sales. Programs like World First make it easy. Got Amazon covered? We support 20 great marketplaces! Keep reading for an amazing AbeBooks promotion and the latest news on Barnes & Noble.

Enhance your inventory. Hunting for the right stock is important. Experiment with new product. Sell books? Try adding DVDs or music. Have a lot of video games? Try listing game consoles too. Remember, FillZ isn't just about media. We have sellers listing Apple iPods, portable media players, toys, and more!

We're here to help you grow. Contact our knowledgeable support team with any of your questions.

Happy Selling!

Jessica

CS Tip

Adding a new marketplace?

If you're activating a new marketplace in your FillZ account we suggest that you review your pricing strategy. Does your current strategy apply to the new marketplace? Would you like to price the new marketplace differently?

Most importantly, Premium Users with automated re-pricing need to request that we add the new marketplace to their automated re-price schedule.

Find more on re-pricing here.

Referral Program

FillZ rewards clients who refer our business to their friends and associates. Here's how it works:
1. You spread the word about FillZ.
2. A new client references your FillZ user name or store name at sign-up. **It is very important for the new seller to use either of these two identifiers.
3. We credit your account in the amount that the new client pays to FillZ after the first full month of chargeable services.

It's that easy!
