If the ebay importer works like the regular bulk file importer, it's gonna take some time 8)

It took 3 days for ecrater to complete processing a small 100 items import file.

I'd go see if the items are in your eCrater store and what changes you need to make.

You might want to read the topic in the Ecrater Forum Located here about the eBay importer

http://community.ecrater.com/viewtopic.php?t=18887

If that doesn't answer your question then ask it there and you can usually get a answer pretty quick

My items finally imported from ebay but more than half did not have the pictures and the description is all jammed together. This is going to be a lot of work especially when there was 2489 items

Will it be more work than listing them one at a time would be?

One thing to remember, is eCrater does not support the use of HTML in their listings, so that might explain part of your problems.

:cry: Whats up with ecrater, I tried importing my items from ebay and this is what it says.
bulk editing is not allowed, all future bulk files/ebay imports will be rejected
I hope this don't mean i will have to list all 2500 manually

I think that's what it means. Apparently ecrater has a restriction that users may only use the uploader to create new listings. You can't use it to adjust quantity, prices etc.

Think I smell a RAT here!!

Maybe one with more than a little paranoia!

Haven't tried importer, but it's certainly there on ecrater in plain sight.

Why would they disable it....unless something's up?

From what I understand, eCrater's importer is used to import your listings from eBay.

It's not to be used to try and do any kind of bulk editing of existing listings.

But the question I have is did the importer bring your eBay listings over?

IF your items were bought over ONCE already you can't do it again.

If i contact them and ask them can they restore my items or do you think they will let me upload them again

I want to move my half.com items from there to Ecrater, and I am not sure how. But I know I can download the list from half, and that listr file might be what Ecrater takes to load in?

Am I on the right track? I sell media with UPCs, so it should be fairler striaght forward. And I don't mind if I must redo pictures, as I have good scans of everything anyway.
