Auctiva Blog

Over the past few months we’ve released several enhancements. These new features are sure to make listing easier and more convenient for you.

As an active eBay seller and Auctiva user, of course, I was very excited when our team of developers, engineers and programmers decided to implement many of these features.

They will save you time—and as we all know, time is money!

The first feature I campaigned for was the ability to edit most fields in a closed listing before relisting it. Our Bulk Edit feature only allows users to edit the title, price and a few other fields in a listing. But our new Advanced Relist Editing tool lets you edit the description, category, shipping details, even the template and photos. I can’t count how many times I’ve listed something with a holiday template, and it didn’t sell. Then I wanted to it with a different template but didn’t know how. Ah, what a blessing this new feature is!

Our new Auto-save feature should also make many happy, especially if you lose power, Internet connectivity or get timed out of your Auctiva account when you’re writing a description. This feature automatically saves a draft of your description (not the whole listing, but just what’s in the description editor box) that you can recover if you encounter one of these problems.

I remember typing a long description for a lot of beads I was selling once, carefully describing each pack along with the manufacturer’s item number. Then the power went out when I was almost done. I wanted to scream. All my work was gone!

But I blame myself for not saving the description to my computer first, and for trying to list during a thunderstorm. Now if that happens, a copy of my description will be saved and I will be able to recover it.

Here are a few of our other recent enhancements that should help you this selling season:

Bulk Live-Listing Revision Tool: Edit multiple listings at once.

Auto-Purchase Rules: Buy and manage your policies easily. An added plus to this feature is that you’ll get a 20 percent discounted on our already discounted policies through the end of the year when you enable this feature.

Customizable packing slips: Build your brand by including these in your shipments.

Ship-to Exclusion: Specify which countries you will not ship to when you create a new listing.

New templates: Choose from our holiday themes or one you can use year-round.

We’ve also reactivated spell-check and added new help documentation for your convenience.

Happy selling!
