I am still learning here and have a question about importing. I want to be able to update my quantity of my items. Originally I imported my items from Amazon. The titles on Amazon can be quite long and descriptive, the categories can be wrong, and I need to charge more there to cover the costs. Based on the suggestions online here I manually changed them to normal product names, lowered my prices and made sure my categories were correct. I turned off the auto import because I was worried it would all change back.
I then wanted to make sure my quantities were correct here so I made an import spreadsheet csv and when imported found that all my items duplicated.I manually removed those. I then put in a ticket (explained all above) and received an answer that I will need to go to import from Amazon, advanced options, revise. I did that and for some reason it took over a day for my booth to update. Well, they were not duplicated but everything changed back to what I have on Amazon. In addition, it didn’t just revise my items I had, it loaded all other items I had on Amazon. I was not prepared for having to manually change anything.
Is there a way to keep your changes made on Bonanza? A way to update the quantity only? And not have everything revert daily back to what is on Amazon?
I like Amazon but there are so many incorrect postings for items and it is not very clean. I liked that I could clean up the items on Bonanza.

Imports will override your changes…to just change Quantity
Update items as a group
Item Basics
Set Quantity (Select)
Select the items you wish to change…
Apply Changes to items selected (if you select the whole page…then a button that says apply to all items will also appear)
A good idea after changes is to go back to the edit or add items screen and click the Update Booth button

Unfortunately what I have learned is that there is no good way to import quantity if that is all you would like to do. I have too many products to do them manually and search through the update by group option. I will not be able to lower my prices here based on the updates. I also learned that with each daily update from Amazon, all the titles/categories change back what is coming from Amazon. Unfortunately those are not always correct. I would like to be able to have a cleaner store here on Bonanza but I will need to make these suggestions. Having an update quantity option is something that I hope comes in the future.
