Problems with Ninja

[FERRIT45]

I can export from my Turbolister but pictures are missing,I have the pictures saved in the Turbo program,what am I doing wrong.............also how do I add catagories to ninja ............thanks

Not sure about the pics but as far as adding categories when you start with ninja there is the place for your title,underneath that there is a ebid cat id,click the icon next to the box and it will bring up all sorts of categories,just check the one needed for whatever your selling and it will bring a number to ninja with that representing the cat

Good luck with your pics,I am sure someone will be along shortly to work that out with you

Laura,thanks for that,but I should have explained in more detail,I have 3000 items in Turbo and I need the catagories that they are in to be transferred into Ninja can I do this somehow........dave

When you transfer your items in NL you will see "Choose On Upload" as the category. When you add your items to the Good to Go bucket then upload them you will see the category mapping facility on the main eBid site within the My Bulk Upload section.

Gazza,thanks for info,but why are the pics not transfering from Turbo to Ninja ,all the pics are saved in a file in turbo program and showing up on each auction...thanks......ferrit45

I think your problem is that in turbolister you need to have the option set to save pictures to a folder within turbolister not save within database.
As your pictures are probably already saved in the database you can backup your database in TL, delete your listings and then restore the database being sure to set the option to save pictures in a folder beforehand.and not importing the settings with the database.
Hopefully your pictures then should move over to NL

Saw your answer and you are right but how do I do this and not lose all my pictures if it's not done correctly.........ferrit45

[allsortsofephemera]

When you backup your listings it saves your whole listing including all of the pictures.
You can experiment without deleting your listings by backing up your database and then Restore it back and in the restore options you can choose to add the restored file to your database rather than replace it.
It will mean you have your original database in TL and also a duplicate of it that was restored, you will then have to delete the extra folder but at least you can see what happens without deleting your original files
