color of type in Seller Details

societyof123 ·
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...

Colour scheme

emrobrem ·
Hi, I'm a little disappointed. Just signed up to Auctiva and linked to my ebay items. I love the scrolling window. I then found out that the colour scheme can be changed, which I did - love it even more now!!! However, I am told by the (very quick response) help centre that it wont update to the new colours on my already imported ebay listings. This is a real drag, is there any way the import can be done again using the new colours, or do I have to wait 90 days for the items to end? Any help...

Colour Scheme

quikkie ·
Hi guys, probably a simple solution but I can't work it out. In my listings the scrolling window is blue which I chose before but I have since reverted back to a red colour scheme but all new listings are still being accompanied by a blue window. Do I have to most an item through Auctiva for it to become the 'default' colour? Cheers!

Combined shipping discount

reb177 ·
I set my s/h discounts in eBay... I checked "use eBay discounts" in Auctiva then posted... none of my listings (originally) showed "(discount available)". Might this be a problem because eBay allows discount "Profiles" (I set up 2 of them) and Auctiva doesn't know which one to use? Auctiva has no options in this regard.

Combined shipping info wrong.

mysticalmom73 ·
I listed my 1st auctions via auctiva today. When I went to look at them on ebay, it put that I'd ship additional items for $4 each...my info states $2! I have checked 3 times to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Has this ever happened to anyone? How do I change it?

Combining multiple sales

2librans ·
I have buyers who often purchased more than one item from me. When that happened, I used to send them a combined shipping invoice and they would pay once. Now it seems, they purchase one item and are immediately routed to Paypal. I end up refunding shipping overpayment on Paypal I don't use eBay's checkout and am wondering if I should. Would that interfere with my Auctiva Checkout Profile?

Combining purchases on one invoice

thedesignerdad ·
I have disabled Auctiva's checkout and still can not combine items onto one invoice. Is there anyone out there who can do it? I told Ebay I disabled checkout with Auctiva so it has to be an Ebay issue but they still say it is not them (Ebay). If you do combine items on one invoice let me know how?

Combining two Auctiva / eBay accounts into one?

stuff-you-need ·
With the new eBay fee changes, it's makes more sense for me to list under one eBay id (one stores fee) rather than multiple. Is it possible for me to export listing created under one Auctiva id and import them into my second Auctiva account?

Hi there I am thinking joining auctiva. I understand that once signed up it will sweep all my listings over, but what I ned to know is - can I then make all my boring listings from E Bay format into nice ones using Auctiva tools or do I have to wait for them to finish before relisting using new templates? Thanks for any answers in advance

COMMUNICATION PLEASE :)

an-altered-artist ·
Hello! I'm a new user and while I'm completely impressed with your offered services, I'm a bit disappointed with your communication to the community. When Auctiva first learns there are problems/issues with the functionality of their site, servers, etc. (and resolution will take some time), they should communicate these problems/issues to their fellow members. This would lessen the amount of not just frustration, but postings in the forum. Knowledge is power and communication is vital for...

Compatibility issues uploading with Firefox?

I have been having issues uploading images using the Auctiva Uploader on Firefox (latest 3.5.2).

Complaint Auctiva fails to warn us of known errors

bev5 ·
I submitted a warning the other day about how if you try to delete a subtitle when relisting (even when you preview it shows subtitle has been removed) that Auctiva fails to delete subtitle during relist & you are charged eBay fee. I just heard from support & found out this was a known problem. I'm just venting & wondering how many others have received support responses saying something to the effect "we are aware of this problem & working to fix." This is really upsetting.

Anyone know where all my closed listings would have gone? I sold quite a bit on eBay via my Auctiva account (Under: ClothedinGlory) and my Completed Listings folder is empty.

Complying With eBay's Duplicate Listing Policy

auctivatonym ·
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...

Confused About Image Borders Issue

I'm posting tonight (slowly as usual) and noticed the images are posting without borders. In my account preferences I have "Image Borders" enabled under "Image Management". When I spot checked a few other listing it seems all the borders are gone. From another discussion in this forum it seems that an Auctiva representative mentioned that the border would only be removed from header images, which is not the case with my listings, and that it wouldn't be implemented until later in the year.

First let me say I have not received any charges yet, BUT,I've been watching the usage monitor and I have two accounts one at roughly 7mb and my main account which is at 111.40mb. 1GB is actually 1024MB, so why when I DOWNSIZED 6 of my photos I received a message that my action had taken me to the next tier of image hosting and would be reflected on my next billing. My size on the main account is now at 110 mb no where near 1gig so what's up with that. Am I missing something? Thanks Hope

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I tried to list using BIN option for 1st time yesterday and it seems that in Auctiva you still have to have the auction start price format as well as the BIN price. I only want to display the BIN, not have bids as well. Is this not possible when listing via Auctiva? Any help in how to achieve this would be most appreciated, Thanks.
