Why in the world can’t I get this batch editor to work…it tells my all my items have been updated, when nothing at all has been updated, or it tells me nothing has been changed by that upate. I’m being VERY EXACT with my text copying/pasting. I couldn’t get the find/replace to work, so I manually addressed over 300 listings. Now I simply want to add an addendum with terms, etc., and it either tells me nothing has been added, or it updated all my listings, even though it hasn’t. This is BEYOND frustrating! Even trying to get it to change something simple in one listing won’t work. Oh, and tech support has been absolutely NO help, it’s like they don’t even read the question, just rattle off some quick, pat, and quite obvious answer that’s of no help whatsoever! Well that’s my rant, I guess I get to manually update over 300 items manually, again. This shouldn’t be this difficult!

Go to the Batch Editor
Select Text editing on the left
Select either of the “Add” text boxes and enter the text.
Click on the items you wish to add it to or select the box above the first item to select all on that page. Click apply button.
Do the same on each additional page.
Sometimes it may take a short time if there are others ahead of you.
When I am finished, I always to to ‘Add or Edit Items’ and click on the right button [Update Booth] just to be sure.
Hope this helps.

I have found that if you try to change more than one line of text at a time it will not take. Break it down and try it again doing smaller batches at a time. That worked for me

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
