Our hardworking Development Team was at it again this morning at 5am releasing the next range of sella site improvements.

All auctions closing between 5am and 5.30am were pushed forward half an hour as a result of the site being temporarily offline.

Highlights of this release include :

- A new photo viewer

- An improved image uploader

- Improved RSS Feeds that now contain more information you can display on your own sites.

- Improved usability for buyers and sellers, including earier access to watch lists and editing functions.

We have heaps more planned for the site so watch this space. We thank you for your patience and support

At sella we are always keen to offer advice where we can to new online sellers. Today we thought we would offer some advice to sellers of classified items ( cars, property, animals etc ). Hopefully these tips get your listings out to as many potential buyers as possible

• Take advantage of free services : Putting your listing on sella is a no brainer as there are not any seller or transaction fees. But dont just stop there, remember to post as many photos, subtitles, descriptive info and contact details as possible. Make it as easy as possible for buyers to contact you.
• Post Everywhere: Post listings to as many classifieds sites as possible, including Sella.
• Build a Presence via Your Social Network: Facebook, Twitter and Bebo allow you to build an identity — and get friends talking about and sharing your listing. You can easily link your profile on any of these sites to sella simply by clicking on the links on a sella listing.
• Develop a Local Market: Local classifieds allow you to create your own local market. Buying and selling in your area allows you to eliminate shipping costs, as well as the opportunity to meet customers and develop a client base.

This morning we reached 60000 listing on sella. Quite an achievement considering we reached 50,000 only on May 9th. We would like to thank you all for your support. We still have a long way to go with the site but it is exciting to see more and more kiwis starting to use the site. We have also just passed the 1000 Fan barrier on Facebook

Thank you from the team at sella.

We are excited to announce that we now have an active Credit Card payment facility live on the site.
