Welcome Austria and Belgium, however....

Don't go and do what Mrs Stupid here did !

I thought, like Astral, that you would just be able to add the countries via bulk edit and merrily went ahead without checking and lost all my overseas postage prices ! Am now having to slowly edit them back in on well over a thousand items !

There needs to be an easy way to add new countries please Gazza for those of us with loads of listings.

I almost did the same but decided to do a test with just one group of four listings... Yes they all went to Zero postage Grrrr

Oh dear and I have 1700 odd listings too.

I agree, there should be a way to add countries to Europe or Non-Europe without changing the postage (or the equivalent if you're in America or whatever).

I thought I read one time that if you email the admins they will fix it for you in all your listings with no problem? Or am I thinking about something else?

[astral276]

Lol - I haven't really used the bulk lister before and that will teach me not to push buttons without checking first !

Of course you exported your listings before you started as a backup - just in case.

What? You didn't?

...My next (untried) solution would be to export all your listings to a .csv file and make the changes within a spreadsheet or other suitable application.

e.g. replace all occurrences of dk,es,fr with dk,es,at,be,fr

Then close your listings on eBid and upload the modified file.

Astral, thank you for the idea, but sadly my computer talents are very basic and I wouldn't know where to begin with something like that ...

That's the way I do it.I did post a "how to" here.

O.K, O.K, rub it in why don't you !
I was expecting it to bulk edit not bulk demolish !!!

Exactly my sentiments I thought it was supposed to save work... not create more work

Bulk Edit is a fairly powerful tool and needs to be used with respect of that power and its limitations. In the absence of a rollback facility (I don't know if one is ever planned) you need to take your own measures to protect your data in case of things going awry.

I would say it is always worth taking a snapshot of your data, via the export facility, before doing any Bulk Edit - however minor.

Yes, I am a great person to have around the day after a disaster.

I was just a bit more cautious and only bulk edited one shop. And then I cheated and used the 'not known' I really don't fancy taking everything downstairs and weigh it and.....
I saw in somebodies auctions that they put the weight at the end of the discription. I thought it odd, but now think it's a great idea
