Question:
Thanks again for your help. I am concerned that if I upload and post 100 products, what will I do if I notice some text was wrong or the descriptions is wrong, etc. Danny
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Thanks R Totale for helping me. I finally got it to work. What a pain, but it works nicely now. 1. I supposed the only way to show an image using this method is via a link, instead of uploading a file manually? I don’t know, I’ve always hosted my pictures at my own websites, and never used eBay picture hosting. 2. what happens if you upload the same listing. Will it add it or overwrite it. Assuming auctions (I dunno about stores) if you highlight and pick an item or items out of the TL inventory and upload it to eBay again, it’s a whole new listing and doesn’t have anything to do with any other listings you may or may not have running at the time. You could upload the same listing to from TL to eBay every day, if you have enough product and want one to end every day. I am just not sure when to upload the new set of listings. For example, mhy first batch will end in a week, but when should I upload again? Just before it ends? Upload 1 week before you want the listing to end if you’re using 7 day auctions. Adjust as necessary for 1,3,5 or 10 day auctions. Glad it worked!

You can revise them on the eBay site, if they’re already live. You can proofread and correct them in TL before you send them, as well.

Has anybody had any success with this? It seems I have the correct format. I even tried a few products. It crashes each time. I try to export an ebay listing, then import and it works. But I can’t seem to get one to work that I created. Is there a trick to it? I have a ton of products to list. Thanks

I have been successfully doing this for about a year, since the earliest days of TL. They have recently added more fields, some of which are encrypted. But I never changed my format from the earlier one, and so far TL still swallows my files. The snippet below will show you which of the available fields I am including in the file. I don’t use most of them, but they are all in every file. Be sure to fill in the unused fields with a tilde [~]. Read their "documentation" (I think I found it in the TL discussion group on the eBay site) and study an exported file to determine what these things mean and what sort of internal delimiters you need within the fields. Good luck. { AnsiString hedder = ""; hedder += "Site,"; hedder += "Format,"; hedder += "Currency,"; hedder += "Title,"; hedder += "Description,"; hedder += "Category 1,"; hedder += "Category 2,"; hedder += "Store Category,"; hedder += "PicURL,"; hedder += "Quantity,"; hedder += "Duration,"; hedder += "Starting Price,"; hedder += "Reserve Price,"; hedder += "BIN Price,"; hedder += "Private Auction,"; hedder += "Counter,"; hedder += "Buyer pays shipping,"; hedder += "Seller pays shipping,"; hedder += "Payment Instructions,"; hedder += "Specifying Shipping Costs,"; hedder += "Shipping & Handling,"; hedder += "Additional Shipping,"; hedder += "Insurance Option,"; hedder += "Insurance Amount,"; hedder += "Sales Tax Amount,"; hedder += "Sales Tax State,"; hedder += "Apply tax to total,"; hedder += "Accept PayPal,"; hedder += "PayPal Email Address,"; hedder += "Accept MO Cashiers,"; hedder += "Accept Personal Check,"; hedder += "Accept Visa/Mastercard,"; hedder += "Accept AmEx,"; hedder += "Accept Discover,"; hedder += "Accept Payment Other,"; hedder += "Accept Payment Other Online,"; hedder += "Accept COD,"; hedder += "Payment See Description,"; hedder += "Accept Money Xfer,"; hedder += "CCAccepted,"; hedder += "CashOnPickupAccepted,"; hedder += "Paybox,"; hedder += "MoneyXferAccepted,"; hedder += "MoneyXferAcceptedinCheckout,"; hedder += "Ship-To Option,"; hedder += "Ship-To Africa,"; hedder += "Ship-To Asia,"; hedder += "Ship-To Caribbean,"; hedder += "Ship-To Europe,"; hedder += "Ship-To Latin America,"; hedder += "Ship-To Middle East,"; hedder += "Ship-To North America,"; hedder += "Ship-To Oceania,"; hedder += "Ship-To South America,"; hedder += "Escrow Buyer,"; hedder += "Escrow Seller,"; hedder += "BuyerPaysFixed,"; hedder += "Location – City/State,"; hedder += "Location – Region,"; hedder += "Location – Country,"; hedder += "Title Bar Image,"; hedder += "Gallery,"; hedder += "Gallery Featured,"; hedder += "Gallery URL,"; hedder += "Bold,"; hedder += "Highlight,"; hedder += "Featured Plus,"; hedder += "Home Page Featured,"; hedder += "Gift Icon,"; hedder += "EstimateLow,"; hedder += "EstimateHigh,"; hedder += "ItemNotes,"; hedder += "Condition,"; hedder += "Measurements,"; hedder += "NumItems,"; hedder += "ShippingNotes,"; hedder += "InventoryNumber,"; hedder += "AuctionCode,"; hedder += "DepositType,"; hedder += "DepositAmount,"; hedder += "ShippingRate,"; hedder += "ShippingCarrier,"; hedder += "ShippingMethod,"; hedder += "ShippingPackage,"; hedder += "ShippingMachinable,"; hedder += "ShippingWeightUnit,"; hedder += "WeightPounds,"; hedder += "WeightOunces,"; hedder += "ShipFromZipCode,"; hedder += "PackagingHandlingCosts";
