Velocity Report
Managing your inventory can be a difficult task. You need to know how much your
selling, how quickly it sells, how long it takes to get from the supplier, and to get
it to Amazon if you use FBA. That is a lot of information that has to be gathered,
processed, and turned into a quantity so that orders can be placed in time.
Get this wrong and you could have too much inventory sitting idle, or worse, not
have enough and loose sales to your competitors. The Velocity report was made
to eliminate much of this work and make it easy to do frequently. With the Velocity
report you can ...

Sales Tax Report

One of the most strenuous aspects of running a business is managing your taxes.
Sellers Toolboxs Sales Tax tool takes away the fear of audits by accurately
calculating taxes for your sales. No more spending hours figuring out what you
owe; now with Sellers Toolbox it takes seconds to get your tax information in
accurate reports showing all of the details.
Sales Tax uses an extensive database of information provided by Zip2Tax, a sales
and tax information provider for businesses. Their researchers track rate and zip
code changes across all 50 states and US territories, providing accurate and up
to date resources.
With our Sales Tax tool, every sale is reported with tax rates, jurisdictions, filing
codes, and shipping tax. You can view sales taxes by state, monthly, quarterly, and
yearly. Our reports provide state, county, city, and special district tax rates with filing
codes, making it even easier to file your taxes online. Your total tax bill is provided
so you can file your taxes quickly. All of this information can be exported to CSV
and XLS files, so you have accurate tax records at your fingertips. Save the files
to create an archive of tax records you can use in case of an audit.

Returns and Shipment Errors

As unfortunate as it is, returns are part of the selling business. Not only do they
count as a loss for you, they can be complicated and time consuming to manage.
But the Sellers Toolbox Returns tool simplifies the process and makes each case
as easy to navigate as possible.
Returns allows you to view all details on any given return showing you dates,
status, and product information so you have all the information you need at your
finger tips. Look up a return by date, SKU, case number, or status, and feel
confident in your negotiations with your customers and Amazon.
Our tool doesnt just give you the numbers, it also helps you manage return i
nformation such as customer satisfaction and reasons for returns. Returns allows
you to associate a Case # and enter notes to simplify your work in trying to get
reimbursed by Amazon. No more will you lose money because you didnt have
time to review this often ignored part of your business.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Matt W.

This software has saved me thousands of dollars a month! We can

now easily determine what we need to order and how many of each item to send in
to FBA. SellersToolbox is the best investment we have made in regards to selling
on Amazon as it allows us to best utilize our capital and saves us time. Any
serious Amazon seller is at a serious disadvantage without this software.

Al M.

SellersToolbox is a tremendous value for my business. I use it

on a regular basis to help manage my amazon inventory. I use the Bulk Pricing
Application for product research and profit analysis on potential buys from
wholesalers. Its quick and gives me precise competative pricing information
for easy analysis.

Eric S.

I use Sellers Toolbox to save time researching and analyzing my sales

data with just a few clicks. The downloadable reports are cleanly formatted and let
me work with the data quickly. When Ive needed help the support has been fast
and accurate. I highly recommend Sellers Toolbox.

David P.

I have found the close listings tool alone to be worth the monthly
subscription fee. I like to have a good idea of what I have in inventory, and your
tool is the best way I know of to deal with closing listings for FBA items that
have sold out. It is a definite time saver. The merge shipments tool has been
a lifesaver as well. Its helped me out of a couple of pinches that I couldnt
have corrected otherwise.
