eBid Ninja Lister & Importing Auctions Help

[astral276]

I can't find anything called data.csv in the NL folder.

It's not in the NL application folder. On a standard Windows setup it is under:

C:\Documents and Settings\windows_username\NinjaLister

For example, on my system it is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Mel\NinjaLister\data.csv

Thanks for that Mel, think I've found it, but it's almost midnight here and I have to get up early in the morning so I'm off to bed.
Will try and sort it out tomorrow.
Cheers,
Rob

...is there any way to sync the uploaded details with nl as per turbo lister

Not quite as easy a sync as I recall TL had - but it can be done.

• Go to your Auctions I'm Running page: http://uk.ebid.net/perl/account.cgi?mo=account-pending
• Click on the Export Listings link (near the top-left of the page) and save the file to your disk.
• Import that file into an auction set in the NL.

...also could someone please tell me about auto relist and how it works...

Pretty much 'does what it says on the tin' really. If you set auto-repost on a listing then when that listing reaches its end date eBid automatically reposts it for you using the same parameters as the original listing. It does this for the number of times you set it to auto-repost. When the auto-repost count reaches zero, the next time the listing ends it will close.

thank you so much astral276 you dont know how much of a relive that is. i managed to save 61 items.
i dont suppose you know how to bulk edit the auto listing number as i did not know what it was i set it to 0 silly me tried in bulk edit but would not show that option

You can't do it via Bulk Edit because, as you noted, it is not one of the editable fields.

The only way I can think of to achieve it approaching 'en masse' is to close your listings on eBid, edit the field in Ninja Lister and then upload them afresh.

In NL you can edit one listing and then (on the Currently Viewing screen) select the updated listing, right click on the updated field and select Copy Field to All.

Be aware (though I don't think it applies to your current listings) that if you close and repost listings that have features or extras that are charged at time of listing (e.g. Featured listing, extra photos, etc.) then these will be charged again on repost - and also on auto-repost.

Good morning,

Am having a problem using Ninja lister to upload.

Every time I do, I get the following:

Auction 3 Error</span> : EAN/UPC code must be valid

Does anyone know where or how I can correct this, as I can't see it.

Thanks

Tony

Have you updated to the lastest version of NL? The codes you refer to were introduced in the last updates and you may need to use the latest version to update your data files to the updated structure.

If updating, ensure you have a backup copy of your data before you start.

Hello People,

Hoping to use Ebid a lot more.

Quite impressed with Ninja - just found it.

Seems quite easy to use (so far !) after using Eb*y Turbolister - importing to Ninja from TurboLister seems good - have tried a few, with about 30 listings yet to bring into Ninja from Turbolister.

Any way - before I go too far (and lose everything) I see there is a "Restore from Backup" facility.

Now this might be a silly question, but how do we make a backup in the first place - perhaps in my excitement at finding this tool I can't see the wood for the trees !

Tips appreciated.
