How to bulk add text to description and/or not override description with bulk upload

[kbor]

Just started using the program so apologies if this is a dumb question. I’d like to have formatted text of my ‘terms and store info’ be standard in all my item descriptions, but when i bulk upload listings whatever i have for ‘description’ would replace the description.

IS there a way to add the “terms and store info to all the listings in the descriptions?” i can’t figure out how to add it as part of the design template?

Maybe the “text snippet” helps you:

I see that, is there a way to add it to multiple listings at once?

MAYBE the Custom “Footer in Listings” would work for you???

YES! That works great. I figured out another way too by adding the html of the terms to the description in the .csv using =CONCAT() but this is definitely easier. Now- do you know if there’s another way to bulk add a line of text to the footer of description to already live listings? Buy it now itenms

Here an AppleScript (paste and run from Apple’s Script Editor) that appends the entered/pasted text to each selected listing. If you are using Preview mode in GarageSale, you might to need re-select the listing to make changes appear. Also, try it with 1 or 2 listings at first to make sure that the script does what you want:

set the dialogReponse to display dialog "Please enter the text to append to each selected lising" default answer "text to append"
if the button returned of dialogReponse is "Cancel" then
	return
end if

set textToAppend to text returned of dialogReponse

tell application "GarageSale"
	repeat with theListing in (get selected ebay listings)
		tell theListing
			set oldDescription to the description
			set newDescription to oldDescription & " " & textToAppend
			set the description to newDescription
		end tell
		
	end repeat
end tell
