Creating bulk loader CSV data from existing listings
You may create a sample CSV formatted text file from
an existing listing, and then modify it or tweak it
to create new listings. Do this by going to your selling
page, selecting an existing listing, and then performing
a CSV export bulk action on it. Enter the desired configuration
and submit. For store items follow the same procedure
but select an existing store item.
Managing bulk loader entries
In the bulk loader page you may review your listings
prior to submitting them to free2auction, you
may select and remove entries, review fees, and edit
individual listings.
To edit the details for one entry select the title at
the top of the listing, this will take you to the sell
page where you may alter all elements for the listing
before returning to the bulk loader. If you wish to
only edit the pictures for one listing you may select
picture manger under that listing in the bulk loader
page. After making changes you may update the bulk loader
page by selecting update.
If you are loading many items you may want to reduce the amount of data shown for each listing, you may do this
by selecting show minimal information before updating.
After you are finished updating the entries you may send them to free2auction by selecting
process all entries
