How to delete all items "ready for sale"?

Support says this can be done, but didn’t say how. I don’t see it under “Update items as a group.” There was a botched eBay import that added text to every item title, and pulled over roughly 1300+ items that already exist, so I need to delete them all from this last import. I’d rather not do 14 pages of deletions if there is actually a way to globally delete all “Ready for Sale.” Thanks.

On the Update items as a group page, right above the item list, is a place to add a new filter. Click that, then look for the Status drop down box. Inside that is “Ready for Sale”. Once you have filtered for those items only, you can easily delete them all.

Under “Update items as a group” “Item Basics”, the top of the list is “Delete” select all the items you want to delete, check the “delete” box, then hit the apply button. You may have to do it for each page, but it’s slightly faster than deleting item by item.

OK – I was just confused because support said I could do what you just said (and I knew about) OR I could delete all Ready for [URL removed] "Group the newly imported listings in Batch Edit Sort by Newest Ready for Sale Then those can be deleted at least one page at a time. OR delete all Ready for Sale "

“Update items as a group” used to be called “Batch Edit.” A lot of people still accidentally call it Batch Edit. You can go to your Update items as a group and set the page to Sort As Newest from the dropdown box. I’m not sure if there is a specfic way of sorting for the newly imported listings….

Perhaps in the email Bonanza sent you they meant sort it by the Newest. It would be a good idea to email support and as them if this is what they meant. But using the Sort As by Newest, this might work for you and follow the steps that Ms Prissy gave in her post.

I recently had a similar problem, though, thank goodness, not as huge! I recall seeing a box right next to the one that says basically ’Do it." It was kind of greyed out, but it said Apply to ALL items in your booth. I clicked on it and it worked. There is (usually) a way to do just about anything.

thanks it was right in my face. If it was a snake it would have bit me.
