Your imported products and any products that you create are located under My Items. Select My Items from the Items tab.

View Options are fields that can be added or removed from the form, at will, depending on your individual needs.

Change the order your fields appear on the page by clicking on the column header and dragging to a new position.

You can resize the columns by positioning the cursor in between the columns headers.

Create Items is located under the products by selecting Create Items.

If you use profiles, some fields included in the profiles can be eliminated as they will be pre-filled. You will see the fields appear on the form as you check/uncheck the boxes.

When finished, click Save and then the Gear Icon to Close.

Important Notes for Auctiva Users

Image Information - When you import your live products from eBay, the images that are attached to these products will be imported along with them. However, after importing, the image URL(s) are hard-coded into the descriptions and these will still point back to Auctiva. When you cancel your Auctiva account, Auctiva-hosted images will be removed from your listings, so be sure to keep your Auctiva account active until most listings have closed and you are launching through Vendio. If you want to cancel your Auctiva account before all listings with Auctiva-hosted images close, you can fix the listings by editing them and changing the image URL to the Vendio URL, or just cancel the listings and relaunch them from Vendio.

Existing Account - If you have an existing Vendio account that is either closed or not currently registered for any listing management tools, we will need to move the eBay ID on file to your new account. You will need to send us the new Vendio account name and the old Vendio account name, along with your Auctiva account name. You may send this information by clicking the "Help" link in your account and submitting a support request (click the email option.)
