Hi, I'v only been using auctiva a couple of months, and need some help please......i'v just tryed the 'New Sell Your Item From' on ebay, i did everything the same as i would have done for the old sell form:
1. Went to 'Saved Listings'on auctiva.
2. Clicked the box by the side of the auction i wanted to list.
3. Clicked 'HTML'.
4. Clicked 'Select All' right click 'Copy' and 'Close'.
5. Went to Ebay.
6. Clicked on sell and clicked on the new sell your item form.
7. Got to discription did a right click and clicked 'paste'and my auction came up in HTML(as it did on the old form).
8. Got to the last page and noticed that my discription was still all in HTML, with no template or photos!!!! i have tryed everything to try to change the HTML over to get my discription, template and photo's to appear but still only get it all in the HTML, on the old form it did it automaticly.
Can anyone please tell me how i'm going wrong!!!
Please Help.....

Many Thanks, Cheers, Angie.

Thanks 2purrcats,
I was shown this way of listing by my daughter who introduced me to auctiva a few months a go, i found it easy with the old 'Sell Your Item Form' but the 'New Listing Form' is driving me mad.....i'v never tryed listing through auctiva, i would like to have a go but don't know how.....i'm sure its easy but i'm a novice with computers and HTML, so any help (step-by-step) would be greatly appreciated.....many thanks.

Cheers, Angie.
Listing with Auctiva is easy - I think it's actually easier than listing through eBay. Plus you'll save money. You can schedule your listings for free (eBay charges 10 cents each) and you can put up to 16 photos into your listing for free (eBay charges way more!).

Auctiva will also save you time. If you create Seller Details, you won't have to type the same things over and over and over - like Payment, Terms of Sale, etc. It's a SUPER handy feature! You can also set up profiles, which also keeps you from typing the same thing over and over - things like Shipping, Payment Methods, etc. It will take a few hours to set it all up - if you use it all, which you should! - but it is WELL worth it! And free!

Auctiva has a tutorial, but I couldn't find it. Can someone tell us where the tutorial is?

Cool
Thank 2purrcats.

Have just done my first listing through auctiva after watching a tutorial as you kindly suggested....i found it quite easy but got stuck on two items:

I tryed to select a counter but it just said 'Create a Sellathan account' do you have to pay for this account or is it free?

And in 'Checkout Options' in 'Other Payments' it says 'Money Orders or Cashier's Cheques' and 'Cheques'....i clicked 'Cheques' but i also accept postal orders, i looked around but i couldn't find anywhere i could put down that i accept postal orders.....can you help!!!!!

Thank you so very much for all your help.....you are *****ONE IN A MILLION*****....many thanks again.

Cheers, Angie.
I'll answer the 2nd question first because it's easier! Postal orders and Money orders are the same thing. If you accept only Postal money orders, rather than all money orders, you should probably say so in your Payments section of Seller Details.

As for Sellathon, you can get a 1-month trial for free. After that, you can sign up for (and pay for) longer service. My listing templates always show the Sellathon counter, and I signed up only for the free 1-month trial. I don't know if signing up for the trial has anything to do with it or not. If it won't let you select a counter without signing up, go ahead and sign up - it's free and painless!
