Color Pallet is empty Can't change txt or bg colors
I'm hoping I can get some help. Searching has produced nothing. I have xp pro. Firefox and IE7. When I try to edit a standard supplied template and change bg or text colors, the pallet just show a bunch of empty boxes. I have no way of knowing what color I'm going to get or whether anything is checked because the checkmarks are not showing up either. I clicked one on a practice template and previewed it. Got just black text on white no matter what "color" box I've (hopefully) checked. On...

CAUTION - 'Upgrading' to new editor reduces functionality
I just changed to the new editor - and you can't go back again. Once I made the change, copying and pasting from Word, - even using the 'post from word' button - stripped all formatting from the Word text. Heard back from support that this is supposed to happen. This is a real reduction in functionally - I am very disappointed that there is no warning on the site. We pay for these features, I feel Auctiva should consider their customers, before effectively tricking them into irrevocable changes

Can't use my own HTML with new listing editor??
Not sure why I can't use my own html with the new listing editor. I had it all saved in my master profile, but when I clicked on my profile to do a new listing, everthing was gone in the description area. I have some things saved that I use for all auctions. A clickable ebay store logo, and that won't load at all. If I use text, then there is no design editor to change back to. Is there a way to get my own html to work with this new feature? If so, i can't seem to find it. Help!

Can't change text size sometimes or retain paragraph spacings
Hi Auctiva Gurus. I have a mystery. I often write a desctiption in a text document and copy and paste it into my listing. I will highlight a paragraph or more and try to change it from very small text to small. Often it will not 'take.' I try to be careful to select any characters that are not visible (such as spaces that are not needed) to make sure these are not setting an undesired size. I will have to end up typing it in the desired size and deleting the pasted text. I use the standard...

Changing Template of Active Listing
I've seen several old posts saying that the only way to change a listings template is to change it in the Saved listing, get the HTML code and then copy+paste into the active listing html editor on the eBay site. For us, this isn't going to work very well and it doesn't seem like a very efficient use of our time, with around 1,500 items that would need changed... Is there an easier way of doing this or are there plans to implement a better editing tool for live listings in the future? We...

Choice of Postage
I created my first page today using Auctiva. It was a little hard to use the text editor at first but once I figured it out it was OK. One problem is that sometimes when you click down to make a new paragraph, the font returns to what I guess is the default and it's really a pill to get it to continue on with the font type/color/size you had in the prior paragraph. Another issue is that in the shipping area, there is no option for media mail shipping. People who buy books and such are not...

Is anyone else having trouble revising descriptions on eBay using Auctiva?
This has been happening for 2 weeks now. First, almost all of my listings are created using size 16, BOLD, Arial font . I go in to one of my eBay listings and every time I revise something and then make my corrections, the editor has a mind of it's own. Example: I see "antiues" is misspelled, so I delete the wrong spelling and type in the correction, only to see the editor make my Q be LIGHT BLUE color, size 10, and some different font. I hate this!
