Auctiva Notifications Update #2 - Thanks for Nothing

Hi EB,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear about the inconveniences this change is causing you.  I understand you used the eBay listing number as a way to keep a record of the item.  As you noted in your comment, you can still navigate to the Active Listings page and copy the listing number from there.  However, if you'd like to bypass that step, I'd suggest adding a unique Stock Keeping Unit value to your listing which you could use for record keeping. 

When creating a new listing in Auctiva, you can add a unique SKU value into the SKU field, located just below the title section of the 1 Page Lister.  This SKU value can be any combination of letters and numbers that you define. 

Then, once you post the listing to eBay, you'll see the SKU value reflected on the Auctiva Active Listings page, as well as the eBay Listings page.

Additionally the SKU is also reflected on the Auctiva Sales page, and you can also search by SKU on the eBay Orders page. 

Again, I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience this change has caused you, but I do appreciate the feedback you've shared.   I hope that using the SKU field can help your record keeping process, but please let me know if you have any other questions or feedback. 

Kindest regards,

Natasha

I for one like the change but I can see where it would be a problem if you are harvesting the numbers like Whiz has described.

Thanks for the SKU detour.  eBay listing number is integral to my inveotry record management. That is what I want at the end of the listing process. Right at the end. Where it was. Where it is no longer. Perhaps time for me to explore alternative listing tools. The end. 

The SKU feature is interesting but there is no field to search for it.  If I search saved listings, it is only by title , inventory name or ID.  So the value is negligible.

I agree with OP,  more steps to waste time.  Sometimes the simplicity of something is a beautiful thing,  no need to gunk it up.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to follow up here and let you all know that today we released a solution for this!

As you're probably already aware, after posting a listing to eBay from the 1 Page Lister you'll receive a blue notification, in the top right corner of your monitor/device, letting you know "your listing is being submitted to eBay". Here's what's new.  After we get the response back from eBay, you'll receive another notification letting you know it posted successfully and it will also include the Listing ID number as well as a link to the eBay listing. 

I'd like to thank everyone for voicing their feedback and the importance the listing ID provided.  Additionally, I'd like to thank you all for your patience while we implemented this solution. Please let me know if you have any more feedback or questions about this.

Happy selling!

Natasha

Thank you very much! I sincerely appreciate the effort to make the eBay item  number easily accessible again. It will make listing smoother again.

This response to the problem turns out not to be working satisfactorily.  The popup containing the listing number appears very temporarily so that before I can copy & paste it, the number disappears.  Having wasted time trying to do this on a number of different listing sessions, I've had to revert to cutting & pasting from the active listings page.  So, nothing improved.

Auctiva used to be an easy & fast listing tool. Progressively it's lost some of its edge over other listing alternatives.
