Hi all, I wonder if you have any advice. I sell purses - most are the same or similar patterns but different styles. There are 40+ styles and I'm having trouble keeping my inventory straight. I'm using a great accounting problem, but it's hard to know which item has sold. I have to click on the listing, look at the picture, refer to my inventory listing, etc. I thought about putting my inventory # into the listing somehow, but the only think I can think of is putting it in the description and that takes up valuable space.

Is there any place in the listing form where I could put an inventory #? Whether it was visible to the buyer or not would not really matter.

Simple fix to your problem in my eyes. 40+ styles one letter coding each style IE: a equals pattern 1 b equals pattern 2 also utilize the numerals this will give you 36 identifiers and only use 1 letter of your description and only leave you a few patterns you need to click the auction. Of course you could use a binomial aa bb etc to identify the ones over 36 and sacrifice 2 letters in your description.
I have the same problem. Wouldn't it be nice if Auctiva could add a field for "Notes" on the Saved Listings page under each saved listing that would only be viewed by the seller. I used to be with Inkfrog and they had this field. In fact, we were able to name our saved listing instead of having it added automatically with the listing's Title Description. It was immensely helpful to me, as this is where I put my Inventory number of the item listed. Does anyone out there have any suggestions how to identify your saved listings by an inventory number other than putting it in the listing title (which is dumb in my opinion, as it only confuses the bidders and takes up valuable character space). I would certainly welcome any suggestions!
I haven't come up with a way on Auctiva, but after they are posted to Ebay, you can go to your "My Ebay" items selling and add a note to each listing which only you can see. It shows up as a yellow line under each listing and it stays with the listing when it closes, sold or not. On the items selling list on Ebay, check mark the box beside each item, then at bottom of page click "Add Note" You can type up to 250 characters about each item for your eyes only.
Hi; This have been my biggest hassel. I sell hundreds of unique items every week. When I take a photo I give it my own inventory name. So that I can find it to ship easily. For now, I have put Inventory # right in my description, but once it is listed we have to go from ebay to ebud to cut and paste that number into the Vendor# field in ebud. Once it is done, I do all my sorting, reports etc using that vendor #. So if there was some what to link a vendor # in auctiva to the vendor # field in ebud. But since I know nothing about all that, I will wait, thanks for working on this!
