This sounds to be a HUGE update. I had a free time drop lately, but I will surely try soon to find enough time to test it. Between all interesting news, my attention went to CSV matter. The “Update listings based on SKU during XML (and CSV) import” means I can manage listing revising from a CSV file without manually revising one by one into GS? I see new chance for working with other platforms (e.g. abebooks and similar…).
I have been running it for 2 days and no obvious issues.
It did do a re-index the first time I ran it and the beachball has been inherited from 8.0 but otherwise all good. I have some auctions finishing in a week or so so I will try out the auto-end. If that works as expected then this will be a big step forward for me.
Can the Auto restart feature be set to trigger after a listing has reached a specified time? say 2 months old or 3 months old? I don’t end and relist every month but I at least wait 2 month sometimes 3 months.
@ilja this beta is giving me some problems with spinning ball. After installing and an apparent fine work, I switched off the Mac and when I restarted it, a folder with other 7000 listings was selected and GS totally unusable stuck with spinning ball. I did spindump and a sample process and had to force quit. When reopened, GS was still stuck on that folder. After some time I could switch selection to a single listing and now seems to work again. I will shortly send you files.
I am also having another problem. There are 5 orders of some weeks ago that GS is keeping downloading, they get appearing as new ones (greyed chart icon).
Not in its current incarnation. We have to do some research and testing on how to properly detect eBay’s listing rollover, but it shouldn’t be too hard.
Almost, GTC listings don’t extend for 30 days, they are extended for one month (according to eBay’s documentation). I’m wondering what happens if the renewal data falls on January, 31st?
They released a statement after forcing everyone to GTC listings that they would only charge 1 fee a month and not hit Jan 1 and again on January 31. The got a ton of flack because they were hitting 2 fees a month but supposedly they have corrected that. I have noticed some listings get a 32 day posting when listed I am not sure why. Today they are doing 31 day intervals.
So it seems one the day the listing renews, they extended the listing for as many days as the current month has?
I have the feeling some users we’ll be quite unhappy when we’d offer an “autocancel before 3rd re-list” option and our date calculation is not in sync with eBay’s.
