Here is what is not working
This happenes every other time. I am creating similar and I remove the current ipc, and click on it to take me to find my new pic. It says Done at the bottom of the screne and doesn't go anywhere at all. For the description, I click on full size editor and it doesn't do anything. I can click on text and it goes there, but it won't go anywhere else. Please let me know what to do or if this isn't clear. Is anyone else having these problems?

Having trouble with half my text changing on save

Help, Can U add A Font To The Listing Editor
Hello all, I hope I can get some answers here. Sometimes I post and get nothing. OK, I am 'cleaning up' my store and I have been using Comic Sans MS for all of my listings, however I would prefer to use Lucida Calligraphy. Now I know for a listing already created I can go into the HTML editor and replace the font names, and I know that for a new listing I can add the Lucida Calligraphy using the HTML editor.

How do I change the text style in my Seller's Profile?
I'd like the text style in my Seller's Profile (Payment, Shipping, Contact, etc.) to match the text style in the template I've chosen (from Auctiva's awesome collection). How do I do it? There's no text editor when I go to put the details in the Profile, and I can't find a way to edit it in the listing. Does this mean I'm really trying to make a 'custom' template?

How to apply template to pre-existing eBay listings?
I have just activated an Auctiva trial account and spent most of the evening creating profiles, setting preferences, etc. At this point I am ready to apply a template/profile combination to one of my current 40 eBay listing. With one exception they are all "Buy It Now" or BIN/Best Offer listings. Right now the only Auctiva-related objects appearing in my current listings are the Scrolling Gallery and Sellathon Counter.

How to avoid HTML appearing in your description box!
I suppose this is the best place to post this - anybody just getting started will be coming across little niggles and look in here. When I recently uploaded a few listings for the first time from Auctiva I discovered, quite incidentally, that my listings had been corrupted. Underneath each line of normal text there appeared HTML. I use firefox as my browser and despite clearing memory etc I still couldn't see the HTML whereas others could. I then went in by IE and that's when I saw the HTML.

A New eBay Dance...Painful
From the Editor By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com August 05, 2007 Sellers need to prepare for an eBay Dance, which will likely be similar to a "Google Dance." For those unfamiliar with the term, Google Dance is used to describe an index update of Google's search engine.

Hello Tom I would love to be able to have smaller thumb nail pictures in my auctions.

Fonts
How do I get the font size & colour in the Description Editor to match that in my Seller Profile? The Description Editor denotes the font size as 12, 14, 16, 18 etc yet the font size in the Seller Profile boxes is small, medium, large, larger etc. Even if I select Automatic as the font colour in both sections, they don't match when previewing the complete template. How do I simply get the whole template to have matching font size & colour from top to bottom?

Editing description causing weird changes
Whenever I'm trying to edit the description of a listing it does all kinds of weird things. Entire sentences will move to the bottom of the page, half of the sentance might move, whole paragraphs will get deleted or moved. Fonts might increase, decrease, become bold or italic.

Editor and "Preview" Differ
Hi, When creating a new listing I've noticed that, for some reason, the listing appears differently when viewing it in Preview than it does when looking at it in the Editor.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or is it a bug that I should inform Auctiva of? Thanks so much! Bonnie.
