Importing problems

I’ve verified that I have the “Remove only if sold on eBay, leave if unsold” option checked, but every couple of days the prices and Item Details will revert back to what it was before I edited it and they will be taken offline for me to readd to my Booth. Very annoying. What am I doing wrong and how do I get Bonanza to stop this??

Also, when they import they show up as “petite large” (clothing category) and I have to switch them back to Plus whatever. Is this just a glitch?

Also, is it worth advertizing in the clothing category?

And last, how do I take off the combine shipping? I don’t know what it’s set to and I don’t want it.

Hope my answer helps you with at least part of your issues.

1. I can’t tell by your question if you list on eBay and import to Bonanza or list on Bonanza and advertise to eBay. I can tell you from experience listing here and using the advertising feature to eBay works better.
2. Almost all my sales have come through the advertising channels and it is not as expensive as it seems. I sell items similar to yours and it usually is an extra 15 to 35 cents and you only pay if something sells, otherwise it is free.
3. To not combine shipping, go to My Bonanza and click on Edit Booth Options. Click on the tab Discounts and Coupons. Uncheck the Combined Shipping Discount and click on the green Save all my changes arrow at the bottom. That’s it. The combined shipping will be gone.

I think I figured it out. You have set your booth to automatically sync with eBay. So every 1-3 days when it automatically syncs those changes you made are being ignored.

Below is the text from the eBay sync page on [URL removed]
“If details of an item are changed on eBay or Bonanza after the import, the change will be ignored. If you’ve made changes to a previously imported item that you would like to re-import, the easiest way is to delete the item from Bonanza and we’ll re-import it fresh.”

The delete on Bonanza and have the item re-imported on the next sync from eBay is your best bet in this case.

Happy selling on Bonanza!

I’ve listed it on evilBay, but dear lord don’t get me started with eBay’s madness!

Shoot it sent too soon! Anyways, is there a way I can add to Bonanza and then have it just say here or would I just need to disconnect the accounts or never sync again? How would I set up advertising? I only see the “Pay $7 for X amount of time” or whatever it was thing. THanks SegundaVez!

You’re welcome.

Take off your eBay sync. Then go to Marketing and Advertising on your My Bonanza page. Select either Standard or Superior for the advertising level and select where you want to be advertised. I have eBay selected also and my listings are listed there to my eBay account for me……..

either automatically or manually. Choose to have them add the extra 1.5% to the purchase price and the extra cost is covered.
