Chrome and Vegas Templates Not Loading Seller Details
Hi, I am relatively new to using templates for my Ebay listings and I am having a problem with the Chrome and Las Vegas templates not loading my seller details. The other templates work fine, but for some reason when I try to use one of these templates all that loads is the "contact us" portion of my seller details. I don't know if there is a problem with these two templates, but the others I have used so far seem to work fine. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Closed listings are all messed up
The closed listings are really messed up. Let's say a listings ends...30 days fixed price. OK Go in to edit before relisting......and while it shows on the closed listing page as a 30 day fixed price listing when you open it...it is a 5 day auction at a totally different price. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. We are working on a listing promotion and don't have time to completely redo every listing because the closed listings are now messed up and once posted having to revise in eBay...

color of type in Seller Details
Hello, I set up my Sellers Detail. Shipping, Terms, About Us etc. I selected Black type for all the sections. When select a template for example the "Little Angels" The color of the type in the Details is "brown" which is fine, that is the color that the template suggests. My question is that some of the type is "brown" and some stayed "black". It should all be brown. When I selected my type color when I set up my Seller Details, they were all highlight together, and I selected a default...

Complying With eBay's Duplicate Listing Policy
Have you updated your listings in accordance with eBay's new Duplicate Listing policy? Although this policy took effect two months ago, it seems that many eBay sellers have yet to comply, whether due to lack of information, or lack of tools (or where to find them) to help get the job done. Among those not yet in compliance, eBay is telling us, there unfortunately remain a few Auctiva Sellers. Regardless of what any of us think of eBay's Duplicate Listing policy, the reality is that it does...

Craft beads - colored pearls
Does anyone here do crafts? My mother-in-law asked me to find some craft beads. She didn't specify a size, and I know there's a range of sizes. She doesn't want white - she wants colors like pink, blue, mint green, purple, etc., with the "pearlized" look to them, and 2 holes for crafting purposes. NOT pearls that are already on a string like a necklace. Does anyone know of any retail stores that carry these, or a good seller on eBay?

Cannot stop auto relist
I am a new seller on ebay. I joined Auctiva to make things easier. However, because I originally posted my auctions on eBay and then imported them to Auctiva, I cannot stop the auto relist. Auctiva thinks they are not scheduled and eBay won't allow me to do anything to my current listings (instead it loads a page that gets hung up with Auctiva). I have already tried multiple browsers. PLEASE HELP! Several auctions are ending today that I don't want relisted. Thank you.

Buyer Choosing Insurance???
Let me tell you what happened a couple of weeks ago. I built an auction on Auctiva for my Ebay store, listing a 50pg pkg of stationary. I sold it for $3, with free shipping. Unfortunately, when I put together my store info and preferences on Auctiva, I chose the insurance choice. Little did I know, that the BUYER can choose the insurance and NOT pay for it, since I was paying for the shipping. So a $3 item cost me $2.41 in shipping fees, plus the $1.45 for insurance that the BUYER chose.
