Importing listings question

Hi,

You can import closed listings from eBay from the Auctiva Closed Listings page. That can probably help keep you going while you migrate, but the migrated listings won't operate to fullest advantage without template conversion.

In order to migrate templates to Auctiva, you need to look at Auctiva's template tag system, including how that works with Title, Description, Seller Details profiles and selection and placement of pictures. That will give you direction on how to convert your templates to create custom templates in the Auctiva system. A look at any of Auctiva's stock templates will give your coder some basics on how the tags are used. Any of the oldtimers (like me) can give you tips, as well.

I would recommend you view the tutorials and read the FAQ at the HELP link (top of page). It's a very "feature-rich" system, so taking the time to understand the system will definitely reduce cutover work and optimize use (improve productivity).

I've been reading some of the help sections trying to understand the ebay to auctiva store thing too. CUrrently, Auctive only brought over 4 of my listings. THese were listing I did without a template.

In layman terms, those not understanding all the features and voculary speak of Auctive, did you say the rest of my auctions didn't come over because they have a template from another site? I will have to change the template to an Auctiva one, therefore meaning...I will have to do a lot of copying and pasting from the current Ebay auction to an Auctiva template? Did I dummy down my question too much where it doesn't make sense? lol

Kaedyns,

If you look on your closed listings page on Auctiva:
http://www.auctiva.com/listings/ended.aspx

You can select any of your closed eBay listings and import them into Auctiva. You can pick and choose which listings to import by using the checkbox on that page and then hitting the "Import Listings" button.

Once you have imported, the listings will now show up on your "saved listings" page within Auctiva:
http://www.auctiva.com/listings/saved.aspx

Your images will also be imported.

Hope this helps,

-Kevin

Thank you Kevin. If I decide to stay here, I'll change all my store items to "not to renew at the 30 day close" so I can import them here. Great information!
