Multi-Variation Tool and Other New Features

Whether you’re brand new to selling on eBay, or a seller looking to take the next step: Using Auctiva saves you time, saves you money and increases your sales.

Auctiva has just launched our Multi-Variation Tool, giving users a fast and simple way to create multi-variation eBay listings. Get more of your inventory in front of buyers while saving on listing fees!

Use the Auctiva Multi-Variation Tool to create item variations one at a time, or create up to 120 at once with our Variation Generator. Auctiva's Multi-Variation Tool is built right into our easy One-Page Lister, making the process easier and requiring fewer steps than other tools.

Auctiva continually delivers and improves on the tools sellers need most. Existing users already know about our many time- and money-saving features, such as our Scrolling Gallery, easy One-Page Lister, free storefronts on eBay, Listing Profiles, generous image hosting and more!

Over the last several months, we've introduced a number of features to make listing on eBay easier and more profitable. Here are just a few:

Bulk Live-Listing Revision: Revise up to 100 active eBay listings right from your Auctiva account.

Advanced Relist Editing: Edit almost any data field in a closed Auctiva listing before relisting. Change subtitle, shipping cost, listing format, description and even the category.

Auto-Save and Spell-Check: Our One-Page Lister's description editor automatically saves your work at frequent intervals, while the built-in spell-checker lets you correct spelling errors before posting.

Shipping Insurance Auto-Purchase Rules: Automate the purchase of insurance policies based on criteria you set, such as transaction amount or category, and even set different rules based on shipping destination.

Webinars: Our new weekly Webinar series, Auctiva 101, lets our users talk directly with Auctiva developers and management about our newest features and learn how to get the most from our tools.

And coming soon… We'll introduce an iPhone application to let sellers create listings on the go!

These features and services are just a sample of the many ways Auctiva can save you time, save you money, and increase your sales.

We have hundreds of thousands of sellers who have millions of items listed on eBay. For over 10 years, Auctiva has made listing on eBay easier and more profitable.

I find my biggest challenge of listing are the photos as far as being very time consuming - Take the photo, resize the photo etc. Does using Auctiva help speed up the photo process? Are there advantages in that area?
Thanks

To the question on profiles, these store commonly used information to save you the hassle of manually re-entering it in each listing. Our seller profiles are specific to a category of informatiomn (such as shipping details, payment info, about us, etc.). more.....

compare with turbo list, what advantages?

As for Master profiles, these include a combination of these seller profiles. So users can either use the seller profiles ala carte in a given listing, or combine these into a single master profile and enable that. Details, and probably a more coherent explanation, are available in our tutorials at http://www.auctiva.com/help/tutorial.aspx?id=seller-details-profile (Seller details profiles) and http://www.auctiva.com/help/tutorial.aspx?id=master-profile (master profiles)

* Time-saving Seller Profiles
* and much more

Is there a way to bulk edit photos. As far as resizing them goes or do I need to continue resizing them one photo at a time?
Thanks!

Will you expand automatic feedback choices?

Do you plan to enhance ability for auto relist options and auto second chance such as on eBay?

Please tell details for Time-saving Seller Profiles.

Thx for the question about getting started with Auctiva giftsnjewelry001. We offer all new users an unlimited 30-day free trial, with no commitment or cresdit card required. This allows you to take full advantage of all of our features, including our listing service before you decide which plan is right for you.

After your 30-day free trial, you can remain a free user and use many of our marketing tools, such as the Scrolling Gallery, which cross-promotes your items. Or you can select 1 of our three paid listing plans, which start at $2.95. The most popular of our plans is $9.95/mo. and offers unlimited listing service. More plan info is available at http://www.auctiva.com/about/pricing.aspx

Good morning,
I have been a Auctiva user for a long time and I think it's a great product. I know that when items are saved and scheduled my computer doesn't have to be running for them to post. But I was wondering, after they are saved and scheduled can I delete my images to get ready for tomorrow.
Thanks,

Hello mpgstore,

TurboLister is a desktop based program, whereas Auctiva is web-based. Because we are on the web, there's no need to check for updates to the program. You can schedule your listings to launch without additional fees, and manage your live listings all in one place.

Thank you!

There are comments on Auctiva about the desktop management program - is that going to become a reality?

Any change of being able to work on listings off line - as in Turbo Lister, but better?

discountdesignercloset, When you upload a photo, our service resizes them to the appropriate size for our included SuperSizing option. It's important to make sure they are 72dpi however, so you're not wasting disk space or causing long load times. Otherwise, we don't have any bulk-editing options.

jkp_1375, We recently added Auctiva Desktop Manager (ADM) to a number of our Free Trial and Premium Plans. ADM is a revival of one of our classic programs. It's a downloadable desktop program that allows users to track and manage their listings. Read more at http://www.auctiva.com/about/pricing.aspx#PlanCompare.

Iphone App Coming Soon

There was a question about working offline, which reminded me that we'll soon be launching our first-ever iPhone App. It will integrate with your Auctiva account, and allow you to create a listing, take and add photos, and more.

We're in the final stages of QA testing for this app and expect to be releasing it in the next few weeks.

sandy.626, not rude at all. It's easy to miss questions in this format, so please do remind us if we don't get to yours.

Here are a few ways we save you money. We offer up to 24 images (with SuperSizing) per listing, 1,700+ templates to choose from, free scheduling, and more. We can also save you time, with listing profiles, and by saving your past listing history for the life of your account. And we can increase your sales with a number of marketing tools, including out incredibly popular Scrolling Gallery.

I downloaded the program when Auctiva started commenting on it and tried it. Unless it has been improved there is not much there. Adding to the problem is I found no information on best practices of using the Desktop Manager. It was pretty much like an old DB3 program.

That said, there appears to be some potential if the program is updated and some instructions added.

jkp_1375,

We do have plans to expand on the auto feedback settings. Currently it only allows feeback to be automatically left when seller receives fb from the buyer. Adding the functionality to leave fb immediately after payment is received is on the "to-do" list.

What specifically did you need to know in regards to our auto-relisting?

jkp_1375,

ADM documentation has been updated, so I encourage you to give it another try. Updating the software has been considered, but I don't have an expected date for that as of yet.
