Create Similar Listings

I found another way and its working but I know I always did them like this in the past

You're not crazy, Wahm922. I've been using this feature a lot and it used to work for me. Today, with eBay's .10 listing day, I created a bunch of book listings. I used 'create a similar auction' and it replaced them all instead of saving them all. I am beside myself!!! Yesterday when I was creating auctions, it worked off and on for me.

Do ANYONE at Auctiva know if we can somehow get all our saved listings back? Will they be imported from eBay when they close or will we have to relist through eBay? Are they gone forever??

Thanks,
Lisa

Oh, and, what's your 'other way'? I may need to use it until this is fixed!! I can save my auction and then check the box next to it and then create similar auctions and they will be saved separately. Is this what you are doing? It sure is slower.
Thanks,
Lisa

I'm glad to see it's not just me encountering this trouble. When someone gets a fix to this, please let me know too! Mine started a couple of days ago, I didn't notice it at first, but then when I changed my listing text, or, profile text, I noticed I couldn't find some of the listings I knew I had just done- because I was using the "create a similar listing" too. I just assumed it was something I was doing...

I don't know about everyone else, but what I have been running into is when first, I use the create a new listing from such and such a profile, then post it- after it shows listing posted to ebay, on that page, I click on "create a similar listing". That's when my problems start. When I try to post that listing, I then get a warning page wanting me to confirm post- after I get that one posted, the first one is gone.

I never even got the warning page to confirm post.
My steps:
1) Create a new listing
2) post and save
on the very next page where it says my item is posting to eBay:
3) click on create similar
4) make changes and post
This saves over the initial listing, rather than saving a new listing. Seems like there used to be two buttons 'save as new' and 'save'. Did something happen when those buttons disappeared?

Thanks for checking into this. I think it's the most serious bug I've come across yet. (Well, having pictures back would be nice, too.)

Can we get those listings imported into Auctiva that are live on eBay but aren't saved in Aucitva? I want to be able to edit and launch them at later dates from Auctiva.

scholartime,

You listings that are active on eBay will be imported into your closed listings folder once they close. Then, you can get them into your saved listings folder by clicking the boxes next to the items in your closed listings folder, and clicking the "Import" button.

I will perform major genuflections in your general direction if it works that way. You may remember I've had trouble importing items since the beginning, but I'm going to really keep my hopes up.
Thanks for the speedy response,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

If they don't, let me know and we'll import them manually.
