First of all, the best thing about AW is all of the posters here. I have learned a lot and am almost ready to say I'm not a "newbie" anymore (feedback 50). What a terrific resource of so many nice folks. (I mean it, but enough of that before I gag myself).
The bulk downloading is terrific, I have had no problems although AW doesn't seem to update very quickly. Hey, it's free and it works.
The "BUT" part - Post Sale Management doesn't lend itself to efficiency. For the first time, I sold 5 items in one day. Using PSM took a very long time, too long to justify the conveniences of one click mailings. The end result is convenient, but an Excel Worksheet will surely take less time. I can't believe the heavy hitters use it at all.
Relisting - 'nuff said on these boards already. Something to do on coffee break, not something to do if you have anything better to do, like a root canal. The only good feature is you get to look and see if you made any errors, bulk re-listing could cause you a problem if an error existed in the original.
Finally, I just went to maintain my pictures so they won't get deleted Tuesday. WOW! and I only had a few less than 200. How are you folks that do real business going to make any money? Guess I'll go back to storing them on my own ISP. Now I'll just have to figure out how to do bulk downloading when the pictures have another URL address.
Maybe I'll find some new problems as I get closer to that next colored star, but until then, on the whole, AW is terrific. Thanks all!
