Listing Template (sell similar)?

ValleyVintage · Posts: 17

I read a review that claimed you could duplicate a listing to sell something similar - to just change the variable(s), but have not been able to find a way to do it.

Is there such a function, like the "sell similar" button on ebay? That one basically duplicates the listing so everything is filled in and all I have to do is change it to fit the similar item.

Yes, there is a place...and it is easy to use.

1. sign in.
2. go to PRODUCTS
3. locate the produce you want to duplicate
4. Once you have located it - do not open it - to the right of it you will see six little squares - the one you want is the center square that looks like two little pieces of paper. It means "duplicate". You can use this. It will be a duplicate of what you just opened without pics. You can delete what you want and add what you want to alter your listing.

I hope this helps you out.

Thank you! I was looking and looking in all the wrong places!

I use this duplicate (called copy) function even when the items are nothing similar. It takes a long time to enter Google attributes and using the copy feature means you can keep the attributes on the left side and just change the values on the right. If I am listing a scarf I can scroll down to the last scarf I listed and copy it, or I can scroll down to the last figurine and copy it.

When you erase the old copy make sure you don't erase the attributes or you have defeated the purpose.

@ValleyVintage, remember the photos are not duplicated! I've been on a roll listing in the past and suddenly questioned if I hit the duplicate button or opened the original. If there's a photo, you're looking at the original. Maybe it's only happened to me, but I've found it helpful to remember "no photo in a copy".

I'm so glad I finally found out how to do this. I had a number of pieces of pottery in the same pattern and saved a lot of time on the google attributes, as well as the categories, etc.

Thanks guys (and not having the photo duplicated actually is good for me, because I never have the same photo for two ads.0 I can see where that might be a problem for folks with a different type of sale item (mine's mostly vintage).
