Problems Changing Design

[Michelle]

I’ve read most of the manual looking for an answer, and I’ve done a search on it here, to no avail.

I have also tried just about everything I can think of, but can’t figure out how to change the design of some of my listings.

I just closed one of my two accounts because it wasn’t worth it for the amount I was getting and now I need to use the same design as my other account.

No matter what I try, I can’t make the design stick to my pages.

They aren’t imported.

Failing that, I need to change the categories to match the first account.

I have done this before, but cannot for the life of me figure out how.

To change settings of many listings at a time, first bulk select the listings you want to modify:

Then choose the information you want to change, like design:

or categories:

Did you already figure out how to change a design for a single listing?
If not, this is the section in the help and there’s a video tutorial available, too:
https://manual.iwascoding.com/gs7/en/Listings_Section-Designing_Listings.html

Selecting a design for multiple listings at once works pretty much the same, you just have to make sure to select the listings (again) in overview mode. There’s a short animation available in the help here:

Hope this helps,

@kristian, maybe it’s just me, but I watched the video twice and read through everything just to be sure, but I don’t see where it addresses changing the design from one design (in this case, Pro: Eco) to another (Pro: Package).

I tried doing them like any bulk edit yesterday, but that didn’t work.

Because there is no option to APPLY or anything else other than “Don’t Use a Design” and “Design Store,” it made me think I had simply missed the option I wanted.

So I’m opting for keeping the design that does not match the one I use in my main store and just changing the categories to match.

But I should mention that neither of the pages is valid due to Biz Practices.

Thank you. Opted for changing the categories.

I think I found my problem. Design Properties is empty.

Despite this, the Payment, Shipping, and About Us boxes are there and correct.

Welcome

@Michelle

Design Properties is empty.

Do you mean the tab in the right hand column next to the listing? That’s strange, does that listing use the pro: eco design? The only thing I can figure out is that you did not switch to the correct design… or maybe you might try to download again that design, possible?

[Michelle]

I’m sorry. It was late and I was fed up and exhausted when I wrote that.

Yes. That column is where I mean. I have been trying to change Pro:Eco to Pro: Package.

I’ll try again after breakfast. Good idea. I sort of thought “Oh no! This has ruined 300+ listings that I have to do by hand now!” I guess I didn’t stop to think that I have nothing to lose by trying again.

Thanks.

@fedege96 I think that once again, I failed to communicate what I meant by “change the categories to match the first account.”

I had two stores, and they each had different designs and different categories.

I closed the newer store because it was not making enough money to make it worthwhile.

So, what I am trying to do is change the categories of the store that I closed to the categories of my older store. This is just a temporary thing so that I can sell the stuff while I start all of my 423 listings from scratch.

NOTE: Changing design is out of the question. No matter what I do, nothing happens, and this probably somehow related to the empty PROPERTIES and USER PROPERTIES sections. RESET DESIGN PROPERTIES also does nothing. Hence, the starting from scratch idea.

Sorry @Michelle I read your last post quickly and then later forgot to reply

Ok now I understand. First question, did you modify categories of the open shop OVER ebay? If you did it, go to GS preferences > account > update account information. This way GS will download the new categories you entered OVER ebay for the shop you are currently using.

That is extremely strange, is that listing using a pro design?
