Using the Auctiva to inkFrog importer for live eBay listings

This tutorial will cover the simple steps of using the first phase of our 3rd party import utility. Our first release will currently import your live eBay listings into the inkFrog system as saved listings. This current version does not support Sold/Unsold listings nor live eBay listings. We will be adding support for these types of listings in the near future. Please check this page regularly for updates.

Step 1: Access your Live eBay Listings

To access your live eBay listings, click on the Listings tab from the main menu. Then click on the eBay Listings tab from the menu on the left to expand the view. Click on "Live" to obtain a list your live listings.

Step 2: Select the live listings you wish to import

Choose the listings you wish to import by checking the box next to each item or the select all box at the top of the listings. Once you have completed this, choose "Import to Library" from the options menu.

Step 3: Select Auctiva converter and choose a Library folder.

If you are importing your items from Auctiva, choose the "Convert Auctiva Listing" option. This option will automatically convert all of your product images into the inkFrog system and convert the URL's. You may also choose which library folder you wish to import your selected listings into.

Step 4: Confirm and start importing!

Once you have chosen your library folder and Auctiva Converter option, click the "Import" button. Depending on the amount of items selected, the time to process can vary. 

You can now view your imported listings!

Once the import has completed, your listings are now imported into the inkFrog system and we have converted all of your saved images. If your images don't immediately show up, they make take a few minutes while we run some back-end processes to save them. You can now edit your saved listings directly by simply clicking on the saved listing to load the edit screen. All of your eBay listing preferences were automatically saved for each individual listing.

You can also resubmit your listings from the library and submit new listings here - They will have the updated image URL's.
