I tried to import some 250 items from ebay but only 2 actually imported. why might this be? They were all fixed priced and I cant see why there would be a problem.

Here’s partial info from a Bonanza Help Page on importing from eBay. The first thing to come to mind would be the point that is surrounded by **** below. Also, the import may have been interrupted either on eBay’s end or Bonanza’s end by a loss of connection. I would suggest trying again.
Bonanza HELP page >> There are a couple known areas where the eBay importer is currently [URL removed]
Starting bid price imported for auction listings. Since the true/best price of an item listed in auction format is unknown, we don’t try to guess at the price of your auction items. The importer will copy the starting bid price set for the auction as the “Buy it Now” price. Your best bet is to set their price using the batch editor after importing your items.
Global Shipping does not import. If your items were setup to use global shipping the international shipping settings will not update, you can set those through the batch editor after your import completes.
Advanced HTML descriptions can be abbreviated or dropped. eBay and Bonanza have somewhat different rules for what HTML is okay and what HTML isn’t. In some cases, HTML will be modified when the item is saved on Bonanza. Very complex HTML may be ignored altogether when importing items. We attempt to train the eBay importer about these new formats on a case-by-case basis, so if this happens to you, you can contact support@bonanza.com and we will review the formatting of your listings as time allows.
Combined Shipping Discounts do not import. Combined Shipping discounts on eBay must manually be set for your Bonanza booth using the “Edit booth options” page.
- Listings posted only on international eBay sites. Listings must be active on ebay.com (US version of the site) in order to use the importer function. If your items are posted on an international eBay site (AU, UK, etc), you may wish to consider importing to Bonanza using a CSV file. ****
Listings which have not yet been fully indexed on eBay. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for a newly listed item to be fully indexed on eBay. The importer cannot grab items and copy them to your Bonanza booth until the listings have been indexed on eBay. If your booth is set up to automatically sync, the item will be copied to your booth during the following sync once your item has been fully indexed on eBay.

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
