 At last, finally, we in the UK get a cross post in platform that we can use. Well overdue. Well overdue. I've been saying for months, this is frustrating. It's great that in the US you have so many different cross posting platforms, but we have struggled constantly with this issue, especially since the eBay dropping down. We can finally look forwards with some glimmer of hope. So yes, yesterday in the early afternoon, I've managed to get a few moments to myself, catch up with my emails and lo and behold, there's an email from Vendu. What could this be about? Let's have a look. So what it ended up being was an email saying Vendu's best kept secret is out. The leading software for online sellers in the US is now available to the UK and we're granting you early access for free and we'll cover the free part in a minute. You are one of the few users to be given early access to our platform. All you need to do is fill out the form in the link below. Our team will go over your information and reach out within the next two weeks with further details to access our software. Our beta software will offer the following features. Those posting items using our eBay Vintage Depop and Etsy integrations, bulk actions which include importing your items from the marketplace as mentioned above, delisting old stale items and relisting them to have them show up as brand new items on the marketplace. Our inventory management features will include stale listing warnings, custom labels to personalize your inventory management system, filters to sort and organize your items, CSV inventory, inventory spreadsheet downloads. Now looking at that email, there is a little section at the bottom just covering a bit more detail which I'll just go into now and that is around the free part. So it says you will be given a free early beta access until April the 30th. So if they do contact us in the next couple of weeks, we should be having access for about two months for free. As we're hoping you can help us shape the future of Vendu in Europe and improve our software to offer the best customer experience possible, our customer service team will be just one click away if you need anything. Now a free beta access will only be given to users located in the UK, Spain and Italy initially. Well, personally, I think this is way overdue. We have not had a proper platform for cross listing ever really in all honesty. I mean, there's been a few Chrome extensions that kind of do the job but you don't get the kind of quality that you get from Vendu and it's about time, you know, I mean it's just a shame that Poshmark has gone from the UK. I mean, the integration between that would have been amazing. But with that said, just having a look at what is currently available. Now in US, Vendu lets you cross post from eBay, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, Makari, Etsy, Beepop, Shopify, Vestair Collective, Kidizen and Grailed. Now that's a huge amount of platforms that you could be cross posted into depending on where you're looking to use. But in the UK, as it mentions in that message that it's cross posting from eBay, Vinty, Depop and Etsy. It doesn't specify, unfortunately, that that's the only places you can cross list to. I don't know if that's the case. If it is, that's where you're starting from. It may just be it can only pull from there, but it's still allowing you to send out to the others. I'm not entirely sure yet. I'll hopefully get some more information and I'll get this out to you. But this is huge. Finally, you just don't know how much this lightens my heart today. It's great news. Now, I just want to hopefully we'll get that email coming through very, very soon and we'll be able to get into doing some cross posting. Finally, that's going to be successful. Now, let's just have another look. What else do we have now with Vendu? Obviously, yes, they'll get back to us in a couple of weeks. The platform is is is next to none. I'm not sure what the pricing is going to be like. I know the current pricing stands. The packages they have, you can have for like eight, ninety nine a month dollars. You can have 25 items, nineteen ninety nine hundred and twenty five. Twenty nine ninety nine gives you two hundred and fifty. Forty nine ninety nine gives you six hundred. And there's so many more as well. But I think for us that are in the lower brackets, you're probably looking between thirty to fifty dollars a month. He's going to get those cross posted and he's going to open up your. Your market audience considerably. Now, you can have the free plan basically just gives you five items. I think it's more just a tester put your foot in the water. But I think that's not really anything for anyone. Now, this is the US packages. I'm not sure what the UK package is going to be like. They could be a little bit more expensive. They could be the same. It could be comparative. We'll just have to wait and see. But as soon as I get more information, I'll get this out to you. So, yeah, so amazing piece of software, lots of options there. Really looking forward to this. Now, there's lots of benefits from this on the marketplace as well.
