Hi Rainy, Linnworks will pull all the info from eBay and set up the stocklist, you can then feed this back out to Amazon and your own website ( if the cart allows ). Really dont know what to do and its nearly deadline day. If RC's stock manager was not so much more expensive upgrade to ( £195), or could be brought as an add on ... ...

Good luck with whatever you decide. Sometimes better the devil you know

Agh.. just looked at Linnworks and personally I wouldn't pay the added fees for it, but when it comes to business I'm quite tight with my money

Well I've renewed, I may have to switch at a later point but I have stick to the Hobby subscription. I could not justify a further £200 for stock control and RDD that only serves the site I am on.
I am hoping that someone has some script that will allow me to do this through linnworks .... finger crossed.

Well glad we'll still see you around. I think it might be something to look at over the next year as a longer term project rather than making the decision when forced to. There are a lot of plus points to keeping RC, but I can also see your predicament as I have similar, but not a such a large scale. I have a lot of duplication of effort in places now to keep on top of stock, but it does work for me so will not worry at the moment. I keep my stock control "master" in Quickbooks, which also has the benefits of keeping really on top of my accounts ie exactly what I have as cost of goods sold, sales, money spent on postage etc. As I am a trained typist it takes me only a few minutes to transfer the information I need, but could see this could take someone else ages to do.

Have you tried going on one of the "computer forums" where people write scripts etc and asking if anyone on there has one or can write one to work with Linnworks? It might cost, but might solve your problem.

The really annoying thing for me is the difference between the hobby level we are on, and the one that allows us to have stock control and rdd on our site is £200+ .

Looking around. I could set up a second site , using " Mr Site for £100 a year, this will give me stock control and RDD which I maybe able to use on my existing site .... AND its another website out there.

There you go see, not under pressure to find something and things are popping out of the woodwork. Make it a "long term" project for the year before you renew and then you'll be better positioned to decide next renewal date.   

See fountain of knowledge me except for what you really wanted answering!!!

Hi Martin,

I'm looking at Linnworks at the moment and wondered if you ever found any workaround for the Romancart integration, such as exporting orders to a file for import to Linnworks.

Are you using Linnworks at all? If so, how do you find it to use? Hope you don't mind me asking here, I'm interested in multi channel sales control and Linnworks looks good so far.
