is GS 7.0.9b6 the latest version? I revised all of my ebay listings, replacing http with https and then I created some new listings today on GS 7.0.8 and then checked my latest listings only to find that I had to revise them also, even though last week I was told by iwascoding that all new listings would be correct with https. I donāt buy my templates, I use the free ones within GS, Iāve never gone to the store to buy any (Iāve read where people are being advised to go to the store and redownload templates, does this also include the free templates that arenāt in the store?).
If I use the latest version of GS will my new listings be correct? or will I have to continue revising everything that I list via GS?
Thankfully itās easy to revise in bulk via ebay, selecting the edit in bulk - find and replace option. Just thought that any new listings I created would be OK.
GarageSale 7.0.9 is the latest version. Itās available through the built-in updater.
Thatās correct, GarageSale 7.0.8 and higher only insert https content. However, you maybe started listings that you āimported from My eBayā.
To make sure thereāre no additional links or http content in your item description you can use the āRepair Image Linksā command from the āListingā menu. This command is especially useful if you imported listings from āMy eBayā, which contain image links and http image URLs in the description.
(How to make your listings ready for eBay's new policies (https, links, active content) - #3)
Yes, but you should check if thereās non-compliant content in your listing, e.g. item description. For further details, plaese check the link above.
Revising through the eBay website shouldnāt be necessary, if you use the latest GarageSale version and make sure taht you donāt use non-compliant content.
Still having problems with NEW listings, created totally new via GS 7.0.9b6. When you say make sure not to use non-compliant content, all Iām doing is typing a description, adding photos and filling in the form on GS. when I upload to ebay and check my listing on the iways tool itās still incorrect and gets a red cross for the https compliant rule.
When using the āRepair Image Linksā in the āListingā menu, I get a message āno listings were revisedā.
I really want to keep using GS for my listings but donāt know what Iām doing wrong, if the new GS version doesnāt have any http coding in it how come my listings are incorrect when checking on the iways tool.
Please note Iām creating a brand new listing, not revising an old listing, starting from scratch on GS. Is no-one else having this same issue?
Above is the error report I get when checking my BRAND NEW GS listing. What do I have to do to add the https for ebay stores? so all my future listings will be compliant? The only way I can fix it currently is via the ebay bulk edit tool. The GS bulk revising doesnāt work for me as I get too many errors regarding business policies etc. The repair image links doesnāt work for me as all I get is a message saying āno listings were revisedā even when selecting individual listings 1 at a time. Please explain in simple terms what Iām doing incorrectly?
According to our information from eBay, links to the eBay platform donāt need to be HTTPs. Looks like eBayās own compliance check doesnāt know eBayās own rules. Weāll try to figure out a way around thisā¦
Thanks Ilja.
Actually, the Ebay store are not in https on their website. When I go to my shop, it is an unsecured page that is displayed. The problem may be there.

Sorry Ilja.
I tried with and without the footer by restarting GS every time. The problem is the same : listing isnāt secure. Itās always the link to the ebay store that is not in https.
Thanks Ilja.
I tried it immediatly and itās ok.
I revised a list and check before and after revise. The second time, it was ok. The list is secure.
Itās the 7.0.8 version, itās normal ?
Thanks very very much.

You will probably have to use Youtube. I switched over to youtube and stuck with it for years for the same purposeā¦ for sound clips. Initially I did it because soundcloud is dodgy on some computers and takes alot of system resources to play for some reason. I know you probably have tons of clips already uppāed to soundcloud so that is a bummer . We are living with technology that keeps bloating, I assumed by now things would be streamlined and efficient but thatās far from the reality. No one keeps simple standards and Iām dismayed with GS for forcing us to upgrade all the time and the basic program losing functionality. Planned Obsolescence.
