Help I am stuck. I have got all of my ebay listings in the turbo lister 2 and I've highlighter them all. But when I go to the file menu I cant exprt anything, the option is not there. I've tried the help menu on turbo lister and it just says the same.
Any ideas? I've not used the turbo booser for a long time, could this be the problem? I have the 2 version
I just joined ebid as a seller. Have been a member for a while.
I am trying to import Ebay items.
I downloaded Turbo Lister, exported items as a csv file.
When I open that file there is not any information there that I can see....but I have not used such a file before so maybe that is ok. Maybe not.
Then I opened Ninja Lister. Put in required info and tried to import the file.
It gets to 99% and says "please wait" for a half hour.
Tried again, same thing. Help!!!!!
I just had that problem. Seems like you can only export "ended items".
What did you open the file with? Could you have saved it away and altered it? If so export a new files from TL and import that directly into NL.
If you don't think the above will help then contact support via: http://uk.ebid.net/contact.php and attach your exported file - so they can look to see where the problem is.
See http://homepage.ntlworld.com/astral....icks.htm#a0055 regarding active listings.
I'm still awaiting someone to confirm that this works - so please let me know if it does or does not.
I found out what I was doing wrong. I needed to select "all" data to export. I was only exporting the number of the auction not the description, shipping info etc. You have to put a check by what pieces of data you wish to export or select "all".
How can I move my listings into a new folder I have created in the Ninja Lister? I tried dragging a listing ....but no go. Thanks, Kat
Hi,
I'm trying to load two auctions that are nearly identical and it won't upload the second one from NL. This item comes in boxes of 500 so one auction is for full boxes. The second auction has only 400.
Is NL considering this a duplicate listing and not running the second one? Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Debbie
I don't know that NL enforces the duplicate rule - but it might I suppose. If the two titles are identical then they would come under scrutiny at some stage.
Have you tried, if they are the same, adjusting your titles to make them unique? E.g. adding x400 and x500 to the title.
Hi
Just getting into ninjalister and putting up some auctions. Can someone tell me what autorepost is about? I've done a search on "autorepost" and "auto-repost" to find no matches and there is nothing in the faq specifically about it. I figure that it is an option to repost once the auction is finished, but is it number of times, number of days, some other number?????? HELP!
Trace
It is the number of times eBid will automatically repost a listing, using the same details as when it was originally created, after its set run time ends. So if you list an item to run for 10 days with 10 auto-reposts it will be reposted every 10 days until it sells for a total of 10 times - i.e. it will run for 100 days.
The auto-repost count goes down on each auto-repost. When it reaches zero, the next time the listing ends it will close.
I have created listings in NL and they all fail saying tax field must be activated? I do not charge tax. When I create a listing on site, no problem. What can I do? Help!
Worked fine for me:

Both uploaded at the same time using Ninja Lister. No errors reported.
Hi,
I just goofed! I sent 145 listings through NL with the wrong Store Category. Is there a quick way to fix this?
Thanks,
Rudy
I can't seem to get Ninja Lister to accept my data files. I'm trying to import my listings from my ecwid/Facebook store as I no longer have anything on eBay.
I downloaded the listings into csv files in 3 different formats: comma, tab and semi-colon delimited files, none of which were accepted by NL. I kept getting the error message "This is not a familiar file format."
So I saved txt versions of those 3 files and tried importing those to NL. Same error message.
I can't find any info anywhere on editing the csv files to make them acceptable to NL so I have no idea what the issue is.
Is this a lost cause? Do I have to add each listing manually to eBid?
Thanks so much for any help.
Cat
eBid (and NL) uses tabbed separated value data files. Even then, if importing the values have to be in an order that NL can understand. As far as I am aware currently eBay, Amazon and Etsy exported data files are the only ones NL is coded to understand.
If you download the spreadsheet from you My Bulk Upload area that defines what values and what order NL and eBid expect to find in a raw file.
Thanks so much, I'll do that!

I also have spent a few hours trying to list items....also an escapee from EBay. I keep getting "Authentication error. Please ensure you have the correct security details stored within the Settings area of Ninja Lister." What do I do? Import from EBay has also failed 5 times so I sat and redid them....still no luck.

I am importing Ebay auctions through Turbo lister to Ebid.. Everything comes
out fine except the gallery picture. I have to go through about 5
extra steps then just to get the gallery picture to appear. Any
solution? Thanks, Kat
Problem: I import from Ebay.
Gallery pic does not show up.
Question: Is this the way Ninja lister works?
Is Ninja lister capable of showing a gallery listing on an imported item? Thanks Kat
No, that is not normal.
I note that those listings where the thumbnails do appear the main images are hosted on eBid's servers. Those where the thumbnails do not appear the main images are being hosted on eBay's servers. In the latter case there is some junk at the end of the image URL, as in:
2BNP1+!dL5g~~0_1.JPG?set_id=880000500F
This could be throwing the thumbnail generator and causing the failure to create one.
I have seen this before but cannot recall the cause or the fix (if there was one). I think it may be down to not being able to obtain the image from eBay when the listing is created.
I would advise you submit a support request to eBid admin for help in resolving the issue. They can tell better what is going on during the upload of the imported data.
trying to get some info before I attempt to copy over my listings from Ebay.
I did most of my listings using Auctiva. Will my pictures and descriptions move over to Ebid via Ninja lister?
Anyone using Auctiva attempted this yet ?
Hi,
I'm trying to put items in the "Video & Computer Gaming/Mac" which gives me "13073 > Mac" as the category and get this error: Category ID must be less than 12000!
Thanks,
Rudy
Sounds like they have redone the categories but haven't updated NL to match.
Put in a support ticket of post on the Glitches forum.

Hello,
We just started using Ebid again and we are trying to import some of our item from amazon using ebid ninja, i followed the instructions and uploaded the file but items are not being imported, anyone having the same issues?
Trying to upload from nl this won't work this morning. worked fine yesterday.any suggestions?
on the 6th try it worked :)
Bumping up for newbies. :)
Best wishes for many sales to all,
Has anyone found a way to search for a listing within Ninja lister?
Thanks,
Hi. Could anyone help/point me in the right direction.
I am importing items with Ninja Lister.
I have successfully created exports from our Ebay and Amazon Listings and uploaded them to Ninja but that is where my luck ends.
The first upload I did was from the Amazon feed. All uploaded okay with Ninja but the results not good: Passed : 148 | Failed : 574 | Ignored : 0
Of the 148 that passed and managed to make it to stage 2, none have been listed even though they are in the "Added" column in stage 2.
Following that import, I have since tried 2 Ebay imports and all listings are failing at the first stage. Passed : 0 | Failed : 894 | Ignored : 0
This is the error message for every item from the Ebay upload: You are starting an auction with PayPal as a payment option. Please go to My eBid > My Personal Details and update your registered PayPal email address in the PayPal section of the page.
Domestic Shipping Option 314 is not valid for your country.
But these factors are already set in our account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we Have spent £49.95 and at the moment can't list anything!
Forget the last post, I think I've got it!
Thanks to Astral the other day I found out how to change to wysiwyg to get my template into description. At first it still was not working but somehow after a day I went in again and it then worked. Maybe some sort of glitch. However, I now find I have to keep checking everytime I try to make a listing if the wysiwyg is marked as it goes back to plain text. Is this normal or another glitch. Allso can anyone point me in the direction of mykimbo's help videos on ninja lister. Many thanks.
