ahTEXT Boosts Buyer Confidence, Sales, and DSRs
Have you ever missed a question from a buyer, or did not answer a question in time? If so, you have lost a potential sale. Receiving a question from a buyer is like having a thirsty customer walk up to your lemonade stand with a dollar in hand, asking, ""Is your lemonade cold, and can you pour it really fast?"" All you needed to do was give a prompt and courteous answer, and you would have made a sale. With ahTEXT, you will start answering questions moments after they're asked, and buyers will be completely blown away by your speedy pre-sales support. This boost in buyer confidence increases the likelihood of a sale, and also increases the likelihood of a higher Communications DSR (Detailed Seller Rating) score.

ahTEXT Saves You Time & Increases Productivity
Do you refresh your e-mail inbox waiting for sales or questions from buyers? If so, you're losing precious time that should be spent doing something productive. Sitting around pressing Refresh is hardly what an eBay PowerSeller should be doing. ahTEXT sets you free from ""inbox watching"" by pushing eBay event information to your mobile phone in real time, so you can be focusing on building your business and making things happen, not sitting around waiting for things to happen.

ahTEXT Makes You Happy
Have you ever sat down at your computer, logged into My eBay, and jumped for joy at the sight of a nice sales day? Of course you have. So now, imagine being stuck in a mind-numbing meeting, pondering if you might suffer from narcolepsy. Just then, your hip vibrates, you wake up, flip open your phone, and see: SOLD GENUINE VIKING HELMET WITH HORNS $4759.00 to HappyVikingBuyer ZIP: 90210/CA SHIP: $25. ahTEXT just made you happy. Stuck in a meeting, stuck in traffic, or scaling a mountain, ahTEXT can make you happy.

ahTEXT Takes About One Minute To Set Up
Once you sign up and start ahTEXT in Seller Manager, the only required step is to enter your mobile phone number. Once we verify your mobile phone, you're all set. Seriously, that's it. All of your current and future listings are monitored for activity automatically.

ahTEXT Is Affordable
First of all, take advantage of the free trial. Completely risk free. After that, it's a flat fee of $3.95 per month -- unlimited items monitored, and there are no per-message fees assessed by ahTEXT. Of course, you should check your text messaging plan with your wireless carrier. ahTEXT sends e-mail SMS messages to your mobile device.

ahTEXT Is Flexible, Configurable & Powerful
It takes only a minute to get started, but you can also configure ahTEXT to suit specific needs. If you're a high volume PowerSeller, you may not want to receive positive feedback notifications. Or, if you sell a large variety of inventory and only want to receive question and sale notifications for items worth $500 or more, you can set dollar amount thresholds. You also have the ability to only receive ahTEXT notifications during certain hours (ex: when you're awake, and not sleeping). You also have the ability to throttle the maximum number of messages to receive per hour, per day, or per month. There's just too many configuration permutations to mention here, so trust us when we say that ahTEXT is completely flexible to meet the needs of all sellers -- from the beginner to the Titanium PowerSeller mogul.
