Ok-I've done all my new listings the last couple of months through Auctiva and I absolutely LOVE it! Now comes the work. I have 1800+ eBay store items done through SD that now need to be moved here. Is there a tutorial for the best way to do it? Is it just the images that need to be re-linked?
Thanks in advance. I can't take SD one more day!
The easiest way is to use our Import feature. If those 1800 items are all on eBay we should be able to import them to our site and we'll even get the images and import them to your account here and change the HTML to point to the images on our site instead of SD. Doing those 2 things should be most of the work you need to move those 1800 listings here and it's all automated.
There is an import button on our "Closed" listings page. You check the box next to the ones you want imported and then click the Import Listings button.
You can file a support case on our help page and we can help you get them all. Be sure to let them know you have 1800 listings in your eBay Store and you'd like us to import them all and create saved listings for them.

Will the automation affect only those auctions not created through Auctiva? I'm not sure if I could remember myself which were and which were created here and which were created there without viewing a significant amount of them manually.
Looking at the listings on the 'closed' page it doesn't seem as though all 1800 are there. Maybe around 700 or so?
(Would it better to discuss this with support? I don't want to take up too much space with this, but it also might be helpful for other SD migrants. Just let me know...)
I believe we cap imported listings when a person signs up to 200 listings. I checked your account and set your saved listings filter to "Imported listngs" and I saw about that many.
You can use that to find out which you have imported, and which you created yourself on our site.
When you contact support they will be able to import all of your current listings and up to 3 months back of old listings. That should get you the rest of your listings. I think telling them that when you signed up we imported 200 listings but you have 1800+ on eBay and would like us to import the rest would do the trick.
Once that has happened they will be in your Import Listings folder in your saved listings. If you've printed the list of listings you've already manually created yourself on our site you could then delete any from the import listings that were duplicates.

I'm so delighted to be able to be at a place where I can glean wisdom from you Steve.
My Best,
Donna
who is this person that you speak of? no real wisdom here *laf!* just good ol' school of hard knocks 
or were you being sarcastic? That's it! I knew it! You hateful hateful person!!!! (just kidding)
I'm glad to be here so can continue learning from all the fine folks such as yourself. We all have our areas of knowledge and it's nice to be surrounded by persons such as yourself that I can learn from.

GOOD MORNING!
Thanks for your postings to me and NO I wasn't being sarcastic. <neener>
Anyhoooooooo...I thought I'd take a few seconds to let you know that the help ticket is a great resource if you need any questions answered and quickly. Normal time for me is within 15 to 30 minutes.
There's stickies on each thread but alot of times, people don't go into them to find info because they're frustrated. So peruse those first and familiarize yourself with the goings on.
Help tickets are on the top. You'll have a running tab on what's been answered and what is open. Also, you get to rank the Customer Service whether it met your needs or not. This lets CEO Jeff know what's going on at a glance.
The online classes are great, too and offer lots of insight. If a person sits through one of those online classes first..then they should be good to go for setting up their profiles for listing.
You might want to take a moment and pop into the templates here. The staff works hard on them plus, oh my gosh...Auctiva had a contest for template design and our own KWK and WAHM took home $$$. Their designed templates can be viewed with the other templates. Imagine that...acknowledgement of templates and the developers of those templates.
Steve, I've not had any problems with scheduling items. Because there have been times when I designed a new auction and didn't error check it, scheduled it and then it wouldn't go. My own fault for not error checking..that's the way folks learn though..right?
When the transfer of the servers to a new locale happened a few weeks ago...I remembered not to have any auctions scheduled to upload knowing the situation could run longer than anticipated. In real life I always plan for bumps in the road and I try to remember that in my dealings with selling online.
Auctiva was good to their word and kept us apprised. The message board is housed on another server which makes it easy to stay in touch with us. No OLE error messages.
Now, I'm not saying Auctiva is perfect..but it works for me. Nobody is perfect just as nothing is perfect.
I've stated all along that Auctiva suits MY needs. But I've been here since last summer and watched this service really move along. If it hadn't been for malicious bidders on my eBay account, I'd have been completely moved out of my old service SD a few months earlier. Auctiva moved 400 of my existing auctions over for me..but hard work got the last 400 plus auctions, pics and more moved over. If there's one thing I'm not..that's lazy. It was time consuming but in the long run, my auctions run smoother, my auctions look better, the pics are crisper and more.
Take your time and root around the stickies, take an online class or just hang out with we already Auctiva members..then I think you can make a logical decision. In the end, you might like Auctiva or you might not.
And know what? There's nothing wrong with not liking a service..last time I checked this was America and we could like whatever we chose. <smile>
It should be whatever suits a persons needs.
As I said earlier, thanks for all your recommendations in the past to free services such as AVG, SPYBOT, SPYWAREBLASTER and more. They work great and everytime that I recommend them to another I think of your signature with all the links. <smile> Free doesn't mean less quality..it can be better quality at the right price.
We're not a real chatty group over here as versus what you're used to. I'll tell you that right up front...we tend to get in the trenches, get our work done and play very little. It's just a different mentality of looking at online time.
I'm also looking forward to your time, opinions and more with us over at the Auction Sellers Motivators, too. Such a nice group of persons.
Blessings Steve,
Donna

Well, I have a very large support staff, including at least 3 people at any given time (24hrs a day) on weekends.
Don't forget to check out Mike who teaches our Live Classes.

Mike is awesome! I would have asked him to marry me at the end of the one live class I took, but I'm already married. 23 years tomorrow!

I celebrated my 28th in December.
Ahhhhhhhhh..never know Mike might just take you up on that marriage proposal anyway.
The classes are great and Auctiva does a good job of running them. I just wish more persons would sign up for them.
Congrats and Have a Happy Time Celebrating!

Arr, tis a strange time indeed! I come across me ol' lady thirty years agone today. An' a red letter day it was, me Mateys. I rate it right up there with Niner-one-one and the crash of the Space Shuttle. An' a comely young wench she was, back then! Ol' battle-ax is still here, too, in charge of the grub n' swabbin' the decks, an' beatin' the crew, an' whatnot, like a good girl should, harrrr. I reckon I'll keep here around. So dern hard to break in a new one these days, y'knows.
Avast,
