Version 4.0.0
September 2026 · The current release
Pricing you can trust
- Prices set by the return you want on what you spend, after every eBay fee, the VAT on those fees and each supplier's delivery charge.
- eBay's own fee rate for each category, read from eBay and used per product.
- Correct for VAT-registered sellers, and it shows what registering would change.
- Type any price on a product and see what you would keep before you set it, or pin your own price.
Safety rails
- Big price jumps are held for you to look at, with a Send it now button. A stock-out still goes through while a price waits.
- A limit on how many changes go in one run, and nothing is sent if too many supplier pages fail to read.
- Sellhelm will not send a stock-out that would end a listing when eBay's out-of-stock option is off, and tells you how to switch it on.
- Every check records what it did to every product: sent, refused, held, deferred or unreadable.
- A supplier's name can never reach eBay: it is stripped, refused if found anywhere in a listing, and templates naming a shop are refused.
Suppliers
- 32 shops built in, each with its own reader. 8 are read through your own Chrome; the rest directly.
- Amazon shows a Prime next-day badge, and the Products page can filter on it.
- Wrong pages, redirects and ambiguous options are refused rather than guessed at.
- A shop that starts refusing Sellhelm is left alone for 15 minutes and read through your browser instead.
- Add products from any other shop by pasting its address.
Listings
- A drafts tray: nothing goes on eBay until you compare the facts with the supplier's page, tick it and press List. "Check with eBay first" asks eBay whether it would accept it.
- Five listing designs with 1 to 24 photo slots. Delivery and returns wording follows your eBay policies.
- In the box and safety-note blocks, and your shop name or logo on every listing. No scripts and no hosted images.
- Categories chosen from eBay's suggestion and Sellhelm's own word matching, item specifics filled in, and photos checked for size and format.
Orders and money
- An order desk with real eBay states, photos, days left to dispatch, the supplier's page a click away, and the address in copy-on-click parts that are never saved.
- Tracking goes straight onto the eBay order. Feedback is tracked. "What it really made" shows your true cost, fees and return.
- Finances: sales, fees, goods, costs, profit, VAT return figures, the registration-threshold tracker, tax to put aside for a sole trader or a limited company, and a CSV for your accountant.
- An Overview that shows what you kept, what needs you, your pipeline, catalogue and eBay interest at a glance.
Looks and comfort
- A wider layout, one consistent set of buttons, a dark theme and an optional panel lock.
- Drag-to-reorder photos and a keyboard-friendly navigation.
Your data
- Daily backups, plus one before anything risky. Export everything and Restore, and one data folder that updates never touch.
- A proper Windows Setup: it carries its own runtime, adds Start menu shortcuts and a Sellhelm icon, appears under Windows Settings > Apps with an uninstaller, and updating is just running the new Setup.
- One licence per computer, checked offline. Nothing phones home.
