Buy Shield on DVD recording. Why?
I haven't kept up with Buy Shield. As far as I know I haven't agreed to use it since most of the things I offer are books and a recording on DVD. I found Buy Shield added to a DVD recording I listed a few hours ago I relisted it through Ebay even though the listing was designed through Auctiva. I can't find it on anything else including a bracelet. As I said I don't sell anything that would require a warranty. What does this mean?

Buying inventory, and selling "parts" of it.
I just bought five boards (as in lumber), that are 6 feet long, each. I'm going to cut each board into a 1 foot section...and sell those 1 foot sections on eBay as individual auctions, starting at 99 cents per small board. Is there a way, using Auctiva inventory, or the consignment system, to tell if I made money or lost money after all the boards are sold? (the above is just an example...so please don't reply with 'you can't make money that way')

I can't get the auto relist profile to do what I want
Hi I want to relist items if they don't sell. Instead they either aren't relisting at all or relisting when they do sell. How do I set up the auto relist profile to just relist items straight away with no changes but only if they haven't sold???

I like auctiva except....
I noticed there is a difference when listing something. I list a lot of cell phones on ebay and usually on Ebay, you can search for a phone by model and manufactuer. When you select the phone you want to list, Ebay automatically includes info about that phone that shows up along with your listing. Like how many minutes the battery can use of talk time and stand by and what features the phone has. I noticed that auctiva doesn't give you that option. Am I missing somewhere where I can do that?

Insurance is not being calculated automatically in my auctions...
Does anyone remember if insurance was automatically calculated for you when listing on eBay, regardless of flat or calculated shipping charges? I thought I remember the site doing that before and I know that I set up the insurance charges for different price value ranges. I asked eBay and they told me that it only does it when you use the shipping calculator for determining S&H and not with flat rate charges. It used to work for me on my listings with flat rate shipping, but they said...

International Selling
What's the best way to sell internationally? I'm not just talking about having "Ships to: Worldwide" in the listing, but having a more internationally centric listing? I'm in Australia, and I'm auctioning things that have a greater market in the US/Canada, and to a lesser extent the UK. Do I list the item on the US site and specify shipping costs only in the auction desciption? ie. If I state Domestic shipping, I can't specify that this means in Australia.

International Visibility (ebay.co.uk)
Hi there, I'm wanting to list some jewellery items I think will sell well to the US market.

Inventory not replacing items back into inventory when not sold.
When an item is listed my inventory reduces by one. If the item does not sell inventory then places it back into stock. This is how it has worked for as long as I have been using inventory.
