Title of Auction is Carried Foward to Next Listing

I know exactly what you're trying to say. When I create a 'similar' listing, just changing the title line also changes it within the template. Is that how you're doing it?

thanks for the reply. Even though I change the title line, it doesn't change in the template.....

Hmmm...that doesn't sound right. Maybe you should file a support request. Click the help button at the top of the page and go from there. They will help you.

The only time the title within the template didn't change for me was when I revised a LIVE listing title. Good luck.

I think this has happened to me too Ron--like I'd list a white wallet, but at the top of the auction where there's a 'promo' line above the "Description" gif, there'd be the leftover line from the past auction, like Black Plaid Scarf. I think I finally just stopped using Sell Similar. I too was going in & revising each & every auction when I felt like it--there were times when I didn't & it didn't matter--didn't get any bids anyway!

But do post if you found a resolution, as I'd like to know!

That is exactly what is happening to me. It seems like (but I am not 100% sure) that if I start a new listing and then sell similar from that listing everything works as planned.

If I go into my saved listings to sell similar (I click on the icon on the right side that brings up the old info which I can then modify), then I have the problem described above.

I plan to list a lot today so I will see if this theory works out.

Well, I can't figure out what causes it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it....

I'm having the same problem with the promo line title being that of the previous auction. But since I sell name brand items that are restricted in terms of the number of listings I can list per week, every time I revise an auction to correct the subtitle, it counts as another new auction, and gets me closer to reaching my weekly limit. Sigh.

I just submitted a support request on this. I will post when they respond.

AMAZING A quick reply on a SUNDAY!!!!

Hi Veronica,

Yeah...currently, if you create a listing from a saved listing or use the "Create from Similar" option, the "Template Title" field will only update automatically the first time you are creating a listing from that particular listing. Any time that you create a new listing from that saved listings after the first time, the "Template Title" field will not update automatically when the "title" field is changed.

This issue has been confirmed as a "bug" and has been referred to our engineering department for correction. However, at this point, I am unsure when it will be resolved. In the mean time, I recommend checking to make sure the "Template Title" field updates automatically before posting your listings when creating them from existing saved listings or using the "Create a Similar Listing" option.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you,

thanks for staying with it & updating here Ron. Many times things move so quickly & new problems arise overshadowing the little problems that I/we forget to check back or report on the status & there's no resolution. I appreciate your finding an answer!
