A few weeks ago I learned in another topic that we must use the Image Machine to resolve this message when setting up products with eBay Marketplaces:
Images: 1-12 images must be assigned to create a listing
So we created a few Image Types, populated the Main_Image with the same content as the Full-sized Legacy Image and that took care of that.
We have manually set up a few products in Miva and they are showing up on eBay. Note that products do not show up instantly on eBay -their support says it could take minutes, hours or even a day or two for new things to show up in his eBay listing page - but at least a couple are now.
I don't have much interest in knowing too much about how eBay works on their side but this store owner says he bought/set up some eBay account hat allows him to advertise 150 products (or something like that).
To refresh our memories, we went through in Miva setting up another product and that part went smoothly (still not shoing up in eBay after 18 hours).
Now we are trying to figure out the best way to add products in bulk - say 100 products and don't want to do them one at a time.
So far, this set up is pretty simple and when clicking the Marketplace - eBay Listing Setting for a product Miva fills in some things and we know we have to populate the other eBay fields like:
Buy It Now Price
Quantity (hopefully more than zero but setting it to 10 for now)
Primary Categories (these are categories offered by eBay)
Listing Duration (days)
Condition (a drop down list)
Let's say that for these 100 products to add that the:
Buy It Now Price is always the same as the regular Miva Price
Quantity is always 10
The three offered eBay categories are always the same
Listing Duration is always 7 days
Condition is always 'New'
I know how to import regular products into Miva so is there some way to import these eBay parameters into Miva?
Hopefully the store owner does not have to configure 100 products one at a time but you always seem to have to click 'Update' when you are done setting one up manually.
Doing one product at a time, after filling in the fields and clicking 'Update' a message briefly displays that says the product was updated, but did it make it to eBay successfully? I guess we just hope so.
If a required field is missing, you will get a message about that so since we are submitting to eBay why not display a message that (at least as far as you can tell) that the product was successfully submitted to eBay as well if it is possible to tell. Just a thought to give us confidence that the submit actually worked since you can't then hop out to eBay and see it - it might take a day to show upon eBay.
At the bottom of the eBay Listing Settings where the image is displayed, there is a check box next to the image:

What is that for?
