All guides

162 guides, listed alphabetically.

• About Ad Templates — A short explanatory dialog about ad templates — what they are and why they are worth setting up. It is information only: there is nothing to fill in and.
• Account & Site — Account & Site is the first section of the listing editor. It decides which eBay account the listing is created under and which eBay site (marketplace) it.
• Activity Logs — The Activity Log is the record of work WonderLister has done for you: every import, submission, refresh, export and bulk change, with when it started.
• Add Picture URLs — Add Picture URLs adds pictures that are already on the web — your own web space, a supplier's product images, a photo service — without uploading the.

• Auto Relist Rules Editor — An auto relist rule puts a listing back up after it ends. The editor is where one rule decides whether to relist at all, at what price and quantity, and.
• Bulk assign pictures — One setting, for one job: dropping a batch of photographs onto a batch of items and having WonderLister deal them out. It says how many pictures each item.
• Bulk Edit — Bulk edit applies the same change to every item you selected — a price rise across a folder, a word swapped out of a hundred titles, a policy changed on.

• Custom Field Group Editor — Adds or changes one custom field group — a heading, and the custom fields gathered under it.
• Custom Field Groups — A custom field group gathers related custom fields under one heading, so a long list of your own fields reads as a few tidy sections rather than one wall.
