Feature request BIN to AUC

I mostly list items as BIN but with new items I tend to use AUC.

ie 49,000 BIN

2,000 AUC.

This month ebay offered me a 50% sold fee reduction for AUC items. I thought I would change some BIN items back to AUC to make the most of the offer.

For me at least, there are three attributes to change when swapping between AUC and BIN and vice-versa.

  1. Add/Remove the attribute ‘

    Advanced/Automatic Cancellation and set the time period. Not too hard.

  2. Change the Option/Duration from/to Good till cancelled (BIB)/10 days (AUC). Adain not too hard.

  3. The sticking point is the item value which needs to be switched from Buy it Now to Starting Bid. I know I can order the list by current price but it is a bit more laborious.

How about a toolbar ITEM to do this all for me?

What you want to achieve is to move the BIN price value to the Starting Bid field (and to disable BIN, enable SB), did I get this correctly?

Hi Kristian
Correct and do so with multiple values of BIN in one operation. And vice versa.

The other bits are easy to do manually.

Here is a simple script that moves the BIN price to the Starting Bid filed and vice versa.

Disclaimer:

  • You might want to test this script with one single listing first.
  • There’s no undo function.
// Switch BIN <> SB
function run(){
		for (const listing of selectedListings) {
			
		var BINprice = listing.buyItNowPrice;
		var SBprice = listing.startingBid;
		
		if (listing.useBuyItNowPrice && !listing.useStartingBid) {
			listing.useStartingBid = 1;
			SBprice = BINprice;
			listing.useBuyItNowPrice = 0;
		} else if (!listing.useBuyItNowPrice && listing.useStartingBid) {
			listing.useBuyItNowPrice = 1;
			BINprice = SBprice;
			listing.useStartingBid = 0;
		}
	}
}

To use this script open GarageSale’s script editor, click the + button and paste the script. Select one or more listings in GarageSale’s main window, then click the “Run” button in script editor.

Thank you Kristian. You have risen to the challenge once again.

And whilst it is stil ok to say it, Merry Christmas to all of the GS team. You save me so much manual work.

PS. Pushing my look a bit , I know, but is there any chance it could be added to the Tool Bar?

Regards David
