Having trouble with ebay sync. please help.

I have eBay sync set up. It was my understanding that when it imported from eBay the listings would be “Ready for sale” not “for sale” and we had to activate the listings in the edit page. I guess I was wrong. I just put my Bonanza booth on vacation because it has many listings for sale that were not supposed to be active. Can someone please explain to [URL removed] 1. how eBay sync works, 2. how often it happens so I can quickly deactivate items that should not be for sale here (auctions with bids already). Thank you in advance for responding.

The way that items were imported was recently changed (and confirmed by Bonanza Support). I have the same concern about items going live immediately before a seller has a chance to edit the listings. Hopefully, Bonanza techs can program an option into a seller’s import from ebay that will allow sellers to decide to make the items live immediately or place them into the previous state of “Ready for sale.”

If you can be at your computer when an import is completed, a work-around is to immediately place the items on RESERVE by using the Batch Editor to sort by NEWEST listings. Then, you can change the status of those new items to RESERVED which allows you to edit the items at your convenience and list them when they are ready for Bonanza.

However, under this new import procedure, if you can’t be at your computer when the import is complete, your items are immediately offered for sale.

Thank you. This does answer my question. If it is done automatically, I might even be at my computer and not know to make those changes. So, the real answer at this time is to get rid of the automated import…and it seemed like such a great idea and time saver. Too bad.

Yes. I just took off the auto eBay sync. Thank you tomwayne1 for your answer.

There is no command to put listings on reserve in the bulk editor. Maybe there used to be? But I don’t see it now.

First time using Bonanza and this is making me change my mind about it.

Having a lot of problems with the Sync Option. When an item is sold elsewhere say on Amazon or Ebay, the items does not get deleted or removed which is causing problems as a seller because a buyer comes a long and purchases an item that is no longer available but the Sync protocol failed to remove the item. I’ve run into this problem nearly weekly.

Any advise or help on how to sync up 1:1 with Ebay and Amazaon?

Thanks. But all I see there is when you have Bonanza listings listed to eBay. Not the other way around, when listings are brought in from eBay to Bonanza. Do you know where can I find that info?

Ok I searched and searched but can’t find out where you have to go to shut off the ebay auto sync. Can someone tell me where I find this feature to shut off?
