I imported 2 sets of ebay listings, 1 had 1300 in it for the unsold and the other had 200 active sales. The unsold had numerous duplicates of each item, It took me hours to get rid of them, then at 90% done it crashed. I repeated the process and found I have to spend days if I want to ever use this tool to list anything. i'm going to have to go through each and every single file and correct and enter fields on each and every file. It would just have been quicker to make new listings this is ridiculous.
The major problem I saw immediately when i started to use it was the interface and options available when I listings, 1st issue no way to cut and move listings to a new folder, all I wanted to do was to get things divided into similar categories so i wasn't constantly making a new listing for each file. i wanted to get a template made and just apply it to that entire folder, i don't see any way to do this,
2nd problem is the way that it moves all files to 1 folder and then to make changes you must delete those files you have already uploaded or you are not going to work with at that moment, This is the only option left since I cannot simply move them to another folder and get them out of the way. So every time I want to start on a new type of item i must re-import each huge pile of listings then sort through them and remove those listings I don't need to have in my working folder. this is just a huge waste of time, I'm repeating steps over and over and I'm not even sure if my listings are turning out correctly since I uploaded them and only saw a few posted but cannot even be sure if they are actually posted or not this is just way confusing and it is turning into 2 days worth of wasted time. i could have just made all new ads with a template and been done with this frustration.
I was under the impression that this was going to be a quick and simple task by using these tools provided. Nothing about ti is fast or simple. There have been no listings that have even been close to correct and I'm spending more time correcting things than I would if i made them from scratch. The only thing it might be saving me from doing is taking new pictures but i cannot say if that is even true since I'm still waiting to see my listing appear? If the pictures are not showing of incorrect I have just wasted 2 days and will probably give up on this once again. I attempted to sell here here a few years ago with no luck at all, complete waste of time and I figured I'd give it one more chance.
The items I had listed I finally ended them after 3 months with not even a single question or interest in them. they all sold in a few weeks elsewhere for a bit more than I was asking here. If I'm missing something in the nija lister please fill me in on how to remove listings and place them in another folder to be able to work with that set later. another question is if I copy 1 listing and choose apply to all is it going to change every listing in that entire folder to match the 1 i copied? will they all lose their pictures too? i'm afraid to try anything because none of it makes any sense, there's no option to just apply that copied listing to chosen listings. If I select a bunch of similar listings How can i apply a template to just those listings and not lose the pictures? Why someone would not have these options available when they wrote the program is beyond me. It has the most useless options available and none of it makes any logical sense since it's kind of based on the fact that you are going to be transferring large amounts of different listings then why not have the ability to sort them into individual folders by categories?
I searched through the forums and I found no others that have come to this same conclusion, so am I the only 1 who see's this as a huge problem or am I missing something here that may be labeled with some crazy name like so many others are. What happened to cut and paste? select all should not be the only way to do everything in this program. I'm really not getting this at all. it just seems useless and there must be ab better option than this.
Last thing why is it storing my last uploaded files in my "good to go" (where did they come up with that name?) area? once they have been uploaded the should be placed in a finished or uploaded folder and should not be back in the original folder again for me to have to remove and resort once again
Does any of this make sense to anyone else or as I suspect i may be missing something because I find it hard believe this is how it was intended to be used. instead of auction sets those folders should have been divided into similar items since there are only so many main categories it seems only logical that there could have been a folder for each main category and the files should be automatically divided right when they are imported.
That way the user can delete those categories they know they will never be using and can add them if need be later.
