I still have the 'Import Watch List' button at the top of my display... However, I never use it.

Hihihi · Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2015 6:19 am Post subject: So no watch list import?

When I login I don't have that option anymore.

paulbryan · Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2015 5:36 pm Post subject: Multiple Edit-Selected

What about a feature to change the price/group for all items checked?

The checkbox at the front of the item is only for use in multiple Delete.

Could this be changed to select items, then click an Edit-Selected button, then only be able to change price and Group. One price and one group for all selected.

This is my process ....
#1 Search Ebay for items
#2 Add them to Gixen List or Watch List
#3 import 10-20 items
#4-#24 Click edit, change price, change group, click save (rinse and repeat).

Yes, it is a feature of Gixen that items you have already placed a bid on are never imported from your watch list.

The reason that Mario gave was that they are Ebay represents them slightly differently in your watch list after you place a bid on them.

I really like the service and the import of Gixen/Watchlist.

It seems to not import items that I am currently winning.

Is that Gixen code or something different about the items in the list that makes them not available to import.

I sometimes bid on an item at a really low amount (or a first bid) then want to add that to Gixen for the Last Bid.

Thanks for the great system.

The import watch list feature is no longer working for me again for the past week or so. Has Ebay changed something again?

mario · Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:50 am Post subject:

wnorman71, if import watchlist doesn't work, please add items manually. This feature has sometimes been blocked by ebay recently, but items can still be added manually.

wnorman71 · Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 3:25 pm Post subject: I cannot import my watch list.

This feature formerly worked, but has stopped working for me. I have just renewed my mirror service.

mario · Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 10:30 pm Post subject:

Tom, there is a limit, but much higher, around 200 I believe. Please email me, I need to know what your ebay username is.

studs_up · Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 7:14 am Post subject: Import Watch List

Hi everyone,

Does the 'Import Watch List' feature only import the items on the first page of my Watch List? For example, I have 40 items on my eBay Watch List but only the first 25 are imported into my snipe list.

Is there any way to import them all?

Thanks,
Tom

Did you receive any error messages when you tried the import?

The first check should be that you have not already placed a bid on them... and (as you have already said) that the are not Buy It Now only items.

Then if the problem persists please provide examples of the items on your watch list which are not being imported... it might also be useful if you could say which is you main target site on the Gixen 'Settings' page.

I just tried to import my watch list of regular auction items and it would not work. Any suggestions?

Newbie12345 · Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 2:00 pm Post subject:

Importing my watchlist also only add about 25 items and not more.
I think I have more then 70 items active in my watchlist at the moment.

Not that big of a problem for me as I always add my bids at the end of every day. But if you want to add bids a couple days ahead then it would be nice if the watchlist can be imported fully :)

mario · Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 6:11 am Post subject:

milos3108,

How many items do you have in your watchlist? Note that Gixen will not import ended auctions, buy-it-now-only items and items on which you already placed a bid.

milos3108 · Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:25 am Post subject: import list

Good morning,
Anyone can tell me why my imported list just shows about 1/4 of my watch list?
Thanks!

newbie123 · Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 6:48 am Post subject:

Okay thanks!
Would be great if it were possible :)

mario · Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:10 am Post subject:

The reason for this is of technical nature - items that you bid on previously are shown differently in the watchlist, making import more difficult. I will review this soon to see if I can have it fixed.

newbie123 · Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:57 am Post subject:

I have been using gixen for a couple days and already saved myself much more money then the mirror account that I bought. THANK YOU!

But I have 1 question about importing the watch list. It is missing all my items that I am already winning with my bid on ebay.
Some sellers have their settings wrong and I can only bid when I change my adress. So with those sellers I have to test every auction that I want with a min bid to see if I am am able to bid with my regular adress.
After that I want to add a snipe on gixen after importing my watchlist, but these auctions don't show up.

Is there any way to fix this?

mario · Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 2:22 am Post subject:

Steve, I agree, but it sounds like a very complicated feature to implement, e.g. import wizard of a kind.

fonaticalbuyer · Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 1:30 am Post subject:

Hi Mario,

Would be great to have a 'default values screen' at import time, sort of like a batch mode:

Click import Watch List, a screen appears asking roughly the same questions that AutoSnipe asks (bid value, group, offset...) then those values are applied to all imported items.

Would save a whole load of time assigning imported Watch List items to a group, specifying the bid amounts etc.

Cheers,

Steve

Many thanks.

I just knew it would be something too simple for me to fathom. :roll:

Cupid · Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 2:57 am Post subject:

mikebau,

The web interface is accessed by logging in to this site.

You do this by entering your ebay username and password in the boxes above and then pressing the 'Log in Now' button on the right.

mikebau · Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 3:18 pm Post subject: importing Watch List

Mario

Thanks for prompt reply; yes, I'm using the Desktop Manager.

I'd be delighted to try with the Web Interface if I knew how to get to it......

Please tell me how - And how I could have found out about it without taking your time.

mario · Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 9:00 am Post subject:

mikebau, are you using Gixen Desktop Manager? Import button is available only on the web interface.

mikebau · Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 8:28 am Post subject: Import Watch List

"just click on "Import Watch List" button, and Gixen will import all items from your watchlist:"

WHERE is the "Import Watchlist" button?

I use Gixen Free and I know I have once imported my watch list but now I can't find the button anywhere despite searching every nook and cranny. Perhaps I need new spectacles?

The Desktop icon takes me straight to my schedule; the eBay "add to Gixen" takes me to a form for registering a bid. No button.... and no other screen.

mario · Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:31 pm Post subject:

Yes, you are absolutely right, notifications should not be sent for these. I just corrected this, thank you for letting me know.

kwokka66 · Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2012 8:52 am Post subject:

A request for a change for this feature:

Currently when you import an watch list and you have Notifications turned on, it generates an "Outbid" email for every new item it imports. This is annoying, as it happens for items you haven't bid on or intend sniping on.

Can this be changed so it doesn't generate these emails on import?

Love your service, by the way.

mario · Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:00 am Post subject:

I imported it with no issues. If you bid on this item before, import may not import it. Have you tried to add it manually instead of using import?

Guest · Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 8:45 am Post subject:

Import list not working. So, I tried again. Still no import. Both are items from same seller, Auction to close in 9 hours. No buy it now, though there was at the beginning.

251043921247 is one of the items.

Cupid · Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:29 pm Post subject:

Maybe the solution here is to put items that you don't want to snipe, but still want to keep track of, on another list and remove them from your Watch List before you import it to Gixen, as Mario suggests.

Guest · Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2012 8:13 am Post subject: Watch list item notes

Gees Mario.
I have already extended my mirror membership out ten years and you keep adding this great stuff, I am going to have to add 5 more years to mirror membership.
1.) PLEASE put up a Voluntary Donation Button somewhere. I do not think any good folks will be aggravated by a "Voluntary Donation to Support Enhancements" button. You are doing marvelous things and I think you will be surprised at the donations you will get.

This may be covered in some other post but I have only been on board about one month and have not had time to read the many, many posts.

2.)Will the watch list notes also come over? Or please link me to where to go read how to include notes on my Gixen bid board.
3.)Also how do I get back to the bidding board from here without having to log in again? Possibly you could add another tab up top that says bid board or what ever you call that screen.

I am so darn busy how did I survive before Gixen? At least now I get a full night's sleep. Thank Mario.

An extremly satisfied user, Paul

This has been fixed now, thank you for reporting the problem.

Guest · Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 4:05 am Post subject:

Mario,

This is not working when you have cars in your watch list.

Sent you an e-mail with more details.

mario · Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:37 am Post subject:

Ideally, it would be useful to have a wizard, that would allow users to select individual items from Watch list to snipe. But let's see first how this goes.

Cupid · Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 3:53 am Post subject:

I think this might be popular...

I had better not try it as it would always add nearly 200 items that I have no intention of sniping... and if you extended this to include other lists (that eBay now allow you to set up), several hundred :oops:

mario · Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 6:55 pm Post subject: Import eBay Watch list into Gixen

If you want to speed up process of setting up snipes, now there is a new feature for that - just click on "Import Watch List" button, and Gixen will import all items from your watchlist:

1) That have not ended yet
2) Auction only, buy-it-now-only items will not be imported
3) Import will be skipped for items that you already have a scheduled snipe for.

Maximum bid will be set to 0.00, which means the snipe is disabled. After doing an import, you have to edit snipes to set the maximum bid.
