Code and scrolling gallery

zkarenartist ·
When I make ads, I prefer to use an offline tool, Kompozer because I am stuck with dial-up internet service. I have copied and pasted the scrolling gallery html code into my "template." When I upload to eBay and click preview, everyhting seems to be fine. When I check back later, sometimes the scrolling gallery is there, sometimes it is not. Is there an easier way to be doing this? Will Auctiva automatically add scrolling gallery to my ads if I do not put the code in? Any other suggestions?

Color Pallet is empty Can't change txt or bg colors

pm6727 ·
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...

OK. I'm new and I do not 'get' everything about how this is supposed to work as eBay is the only listing tool that I've ever used.

Considering Auctiva - what are the archive capabilities?

mercat68 ·
Hi. In a nutshell: I need a tool that will allow me to archive eBay listings longer than the 90 days eBay allows. So, for example, I want to keep any unsold ugly holiday sweater listings available for easy re-listing next holiday season. Does Auctiva do this and what are the capabilities in terms of capacity (number of listings it will archive) and duration? Thanks.

copy/paste with word

crjebay ·
I saw from some other posts that some were using microsoft word to create their descriptions then copy/paste them into auctiva description. I thought I would give this a try, especially if I started creating description through auctiva and forgot to save and got logged out, my work would be lost. I copy through MW and then use the Paste from Word feature at top where tool bar icons are. Everything copies over but in gray print. What happens to any color I used in MW.

Copying Saved Listings

bubbafatass ·
Hi guy's, this is my first post and I could do with a little help. I have managed to get my head round most of the site (great tool and thanx to developers btw), but I can't see a way to achieve 1 thing. Is there a way of copying listings that i have in my saved listing. I have a lot of listings that i list for 5 & 10 days and, if possible i would like to just copy all of them and then bulk edit the copies. As i schedule a lot it means that i can't just bulk edit the original listing.

Can the muti-variation tool be disabled for fixed price listings?

I am sure this question has come up, but I am not on this board very much and would like some input. I sell vintage and pre-owned handbags and wallets.

Since I have a store, I am trying to list fixed price more often. Since the new multi-variation tool has come into effect, this process has been more difficult for me. I can see where when you...

Can't combine multiple purchases on one invoice -

Hi. I can't combine multiple purchases from a buyer on their one invoice. eBay Customer Support tells me that "if you use a third party listing tool such as Auctiva or Sparedollar, you will need to contact them to set eBay to default in order to combine invoices". Can anyone please tell me, can I fix that myself, or does an Auctiva supprt person need to do it for me from their end? Cheers, Bek.

Changing Template of Active Listing

mure ·
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.

Importing Re-Listed Auctions, made directly in eBay, to Auctiva?

cjackc ·
Since it was much easier for me, I re-listed a bunch of closed auctions directly through eBay's "re-list" tool and not Auctiva. Although, the listings were originally created through Auctiva. Does Auctiva automatically import those listings to the site or is there something that I have to do first? I haven't seen my listings show up in Auctiva or my Store Window, as of yet. I believe Auctiva does pull the auctions from eBay, but just want to make sure. Thanks in advance! Jack
