I have about 200 cross stitch leaflets. I had listed them each individually and many sold. The ones that are left, I would like to put about 4 or 5 in each auction, making a group.

What is the easiest (quickest) way to take 5 auctions and create one auction. This are all in my unsold items individually. I have been doing the copy and paste method BUT it is taking forever. ANY IDEAS?

Do you use AW to launch your auctions?
You can add 4 pictures to one auction.
Would that help?

Yes I launch using AW. That is were I wish to combine the 4-5 auctions and launch one auction.

I have auctions with 5 & 6 pictures (not that I am combining). Where did you get the 4 picture limit from? I never seen or heard that before.

What am a looking for is a quick easy way to combine the descriptions and attach the picture. I have been using the copy and paste method but it is a slow task. And frankly, I don't think it is worth my time. Heck, I am combining 3-4 leaflets and starting them at $1.00 (enough to cover the fees to list). I hope they sell but it is not worth the time it takes that is for sure!

I guess I'm confused. (which is very easy to do!

I've had a few single auctions, and wanted to combine them.
I just went into my inventory, clicked on new, and then attached the pictures from my single auctions and listed them together.
I copied and pasted the description from one of my auctions, and then tweeked it a little (making words plural, etc) and then saved and launced it.

Sorry, I guess I'm not just "getting" it. It is the end of the year and my brain ran out of steam about October!

Hopefully someone will bring some ideas for you, as I'm curious too if there is a simpler way.

You are basically doing what I am doing.

I was just hoping to find a quicker way.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this would be helpful or not but if you go to the ebay page your closed auction is on and go up to the top of your browser to "view" and click on "Source" it will show you all the HTML for the page. You can copy and paste all the descriptions and photo html from this page which might make it easier expecially for lists. Your still copying and pasting.
