"condition description" FIELD new [re: ]  

Maybe I'm missing this, but I don't see any way to fill in the "condition description" field. Ebay has now started sending out warnings if this field is not filled out, & I can't figger out how to do it.

HELP! Please....

Thanks

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: twoolds]  

I'm with you on this one. I always put a condition description in my listing so the buyer knows what is what. Also, if there is any defect, etc. I even take pictures of it, plus describing it in my description. Hopefully Auction Wizard will come up with some solution. Don't know if this affects how eBay lists us in the searches?

Re: "condition description" FIELD [re: auctions1329]  

I wrote to Thom regarding this, & he replied:

"AW2000 does not currently support the condition description field. That is something we plan to add in the next program update. We do not yet have a timeframe for when that will happen."

I hope they (AW) get it done soon. There's a monthly purge/blood bath going on at ebay, & I've got 180 warnings in the Selling Reminders section of My Ebay. There is no way to bulk edit these at Ebay, and individually it takes about 1-2 minutes each. Pretty much impossible to do that every week, so I'm leaving the warnings sit, but sellers are getting banned daily for less than this.

Several veterans on Seller Central are saying that anything over a few of these warnings, along with ANY new DSR dings, or even a NEG, may put you into the next round of Permanent Seller Layoffs. That should take place around 11/25. Happy Thanksgiving............

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: twoolds]  

I'm not a big seller, but maybe the group over at Powersellersunite.com are correct. eBay is trying to get rid of the little guy and become more like Amazon.com. So what does a little guy do? Even Etsy is starting to have problems and letting artisans design jewelry and have a manufacturer make it. If you go to another small site, such as Zibbet.com, how long before you get sales? Guess I'll have to go and add the condition in one by one.

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: auctions1329]  

Just got to thinking, I'm wondering if eBay wants everyone to use their software so eBay has more control of everything. Just like on Amazon. Just a thought.

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: auctions1329]  

I was just fixing to ask the same question because I've got a ton of warnings about the descriptions as well. I'm thinking these extra description are aimed at making it easy for mobile phone users, but can't say for sure. I do know that my sales are freaking horrible and I'm trying to do everything to fix it, including all these Ebay warnings and as twoolds mentioned it takes a few minutes for each one and when we have 100's it's extremely time consuming on top of everything else. We seriously need an update for this since it's been out for awhile or I'm going to have to start looking for another listing solution. I'd rather not do that, but if I'm going to have to keep switching back-n-forth over to Ebay to make changes I'm not going to have much of a choice ya know...

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: Razz]  

I have added to each of my items, the condition that they are requesting. But then again, I don't have hundreds of items listed. Being that I do put the condition in the description, I just had to copy it from my lot # and paste it in. But I wanted to see what that condition description does, so I looked at my items on a Samsung Tablet and Underneath Condition, they have "Seller Notes" which is what I had pasted in it "Condition: Good - no chips or cracks.". I can see all of that without having to open up, or click, on the condition arrow. And so I wanted to know what some of the big guys are doing, so I did a search for Skip McGrath, seller ID mcgrrrrr. He uses Vendio and his listings on my tablet did not mention any other additional conditions. So my guess is that by having that extra line for condition, the buyer can see at a glance that they want to check it out further or not. Now I don't know what Vendio does in a situation like that. did they change the way you enter info? Good question. Hope this helps everyone and good luck!

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: auctions1329]  

If it was just a few listings it wouldn't be no big deal, but I'm listing 500+/month and needing to go in and redo it every month just plain sucks! If it was the same condition for the majority of items it wouldn't be too bad I guess since you could bulk edit, but I have a lot of different things with various conditions so bulk editing for me is of no use. I hope Thom will add this pretty soon.

Re: "condition description" FIELD new [re: Razz]  

I had an idea on a possible workaround. I dl'd Turbo Lister to check it out and there's an "Import Items" which I'm assuming will import active listings. I'm wondering if we did that and then added the Item Conditions and then synchronized if it would add it to our active listings? I know absolutely nothing about Turbo Lister , but hoping someone here is familiar enough with it to know if that would work or not. I'm debating on just trying it, but kinda paranoid I'll really mess something up, lol. We shouldn't need to use 2 programs though to this, but if it'll work at least it's better than nothing for now.

Good luck doing ANYTHING with turbolister other than watching it FREEZE and bog down your whole computer. I have been using AW2K for a long time now and anything it does not do - I don't use.
