Sales reporting with more details
Folks, you asked for it - you got it!
If you go to the SALES section in the member area, you will find a new link in the header of the content part. The link says “Sales Reports” and gives you a monthly detailed view of all sales and the status of the payment. This report should be very handy for your monthly reporting and your tax reports at the end of the year. I hope that satisfies the requests of some of our merchants (right, Adam?) 
More features will follow in the next few months. We now focus on the affiliate sales and to bring you more good content. I will keep you posted here in the blog and on the forum!

Ralf:
I can’t believe you referred to me by name! But yes: the moment I saw the new sales report interface, I said a silent Thank you. You have indeed proved to be resourceful and responsive, and I thank you for that. I like the way the new system works.

Actually, I have a question about how to perform a specific sort of operation using the sales report interface. When my payments were passed through to me via PayPal, in the old days, this enabled me to accumulate a mailing list: the email addresses of those who’d purchased my products. I could fairly easily download a sales report using my PayPal history and paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. The email addresses all sorted into a single column.
When I tried to download my April sales report just now using the Tradebit sales report interface, almost all the information sorted itself, delimited by semicolons, into column A of the spreadsheet. In other words, there wasn’t one specific column of email addresses.
Can you address this problem with your interface–or tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks.

Adam, I think that is a Firefox problem… if you copy and paste the text from the report to a text file and THEN into excel, the colums stay intact. If you copy+paste directly, it seems that excel looses the formatting!

I’ve solved the problem. I simply wasn’t very proficient at importing a Text file into an Excel workbook. Cutting and pasting didn’t quite do it, but it wasn’t hard to do. Excel help guided me through the process. “Data”–>”Get External Data”–>”Import text file.” It takes about five quick steps. Everything works fine now.
