Applies one change to every listing you selected. This is the same dialog as
Bulk Edit Listing Templates, working on listings — which means
the changes can reach eBay. Everything the dialog can do is described in
Bulk Edit; this page is about what that means for listings in particular.
Each change is a row: pick a field, say how to change it, give the value.
Where to find it
Select the listings on Listings, then Bulk Edit from the
toolbar.
What is different about listings
| Because a listing may be live | What follows |
|---|---|
| Changes can reach eBay. | An active listing that is changed is normally submitted straight away. Whether that happens is decided by Listing Submissions. |
| eBay may refuse a change. | A price below what eBay allows, a quantity below what has already sold, a field eBay will not let you revise once there are bids — any of these is refused for that listing, and the rest still go through. |
| Ended listings are not revised. | A change to an ended listing stays in WonderLister. It matters if you relist later. |
Choose the set carefully. The listings grid mixes active, ended and unsubmitted listings
unless you have narrowed it. Select a folder or run a search first, so the change reaches the listings you
meant and not the ones that merely happened to be on screen.
