Dear Seller,
Welcome to the fourth edition of "Get Your FillZ", our irregularly distributed news bulletin!
FillZ recently attended eBay Live in Boston, Ma. We thought the show was a great success and were very pleased with the turn-out. We had the opportunity to meet with a number of existing FillZ users and were thrilled to introduce and promote our service to prospective clients. We wanted to send out a special thank you to all who popped by the booth to chat with Shaun, Miron and Alex.
While at the show, FillZ met with Representatives from both eBay and Half.com and we are very happy with the outcome of the discussions. We are working towards building a closer relationship with these two markets and are excited about bringing on some integration improvements to you in the future!
Hot on the heels of eBay Live is the Independent Sellers' Conference in Seattle, Wa next month. We look forward to seeing you there! If you would like to book a specific time to meet with someone from FillZ, let us know by sending an email to news1@fillz.com
If you're considering attending the show but haven't signed up yet, click on the link below for more information:

We hope to see you next week and until then, Happy Selling!

New Site Features
Our Technical Team has been very busy implementing the following exciting New Features:
Faster Competitive Re-pricing launched: Our new automated premium re-pricing service went live June 1st. If you've been looking for an affordable and efficient re-pricing system to help boost your sales, our Premium Re-pricing may just be the tool for you. For more information about the new Re-pricing services we offer, send us an email or click here:

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Support.
Updated Import Format: For those of you who have been entering the publication year on individual listings, you'll be happy to know that we have added a feature to allow you to import this field in bulk. We have updated the FillZ Experimental import format to read a new column header called "pubdate" and should only include the four digits of the year of publication. This information is required by Amazon to auto-generate product detail pages for "non-catalog" items. If you have any questions at all, please email us.
Marketplace and Partner Highlights:
New Alibris Seller Program: At the end of May, Alibris introduced a new level of service for small-volume booksellers. Sellers on this program can list up to 1,000 items and qualify for a discounted fee. If your current inventory holds less than 1000 unique SKUs and you're not selling on Alibris, you may be interested in the new program offering. For more information:

Endicia Dazzle Version 7.0: Endicia released a new version of Dazzle at the beginning of May to accommodate the new USPS postal rate change that went into effect May 14th. To read more about the new version or to review key aspects of the rate change, click on the link below:

FillZ Announcements:
We are almost ready to roll out full integration for Amazon Seller Central! Keep your eye on our Forum for the exciting announcement within the next few weeks! If you have been invited by Amazon to use the Seller Central platform and would like to participate as a test client, please send us an email to support@fillz.com and we will get you started. Please note that only sellers who have already been in contact with Amazon about the new platform will be able to test this feature.
We also posted a message in our last newsletter regarding integration with Quickbooks and would like more feedback from you about whether this is something that you think is essential to your business:
If you are using QuickBooks in conjunction with FillZ and require more compatibility between the two services, we would like to introduce you to Atandra. Atandra provides software solutions for small businesses and have been working on an integration tool. They may be able to assist you. For more information, please visit the Atandra website and click "QuickBooks Integration":
We welcome and encourage all feedback!
Another Happy FillZ Client!
"I'm sure the FillZ Support team hears all the time from sellers about this complaint or that complaint, but I just want to say that since I joined FillZ at the end of December, I have found FillZ to have a customer service team and technical team that is more responsive than any other site or marketplace for that matter that I've been part of. The longest I ever waited for a reply was literally 4 hours! Lee Ann is a great member of FillZ. If you guys maintain this quality of service, you can only increase the number of sellers that want to use your service. Thank you!"

FillZ Has A 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 username or store name at sign-up. 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! | | ![[]](http://www.abebooks.com/images/Shared/shim.gif)

Assistance with Banking in Europe
Are you interested in selling internationally but don't know where to start?
