No, it shouldn’t affect you. After we remove it entirely from an upcoming build the warning shouldn’t show either.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperHi Dan,
eBay recently removed the Listing Designer functionality. Check in the Item Window in SixBit, under the Options tab in the eBay section to see if one of those was selected. We’ll be removing this from the UI in an upcoming version.
Thanks,
John
John Manning, Senior DeveloperIf the Shopify service doesn’t match one of ours, it will default to None. You can set up the Mapping options for these to default to another service.
We’ll look into breaking out the notifications by site too.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperWe do plan to include the same options for Item Searching from quick search in the Create Manual Order window. If you create the Order with the wrong qty/price, you should just have to delete the Order, edit the Item and re-create the Order from that Item again.
The inventory tracking is built in, and Orders can’t be created without them. I would suggest creating a template that you can use to create a quick item with default inventory, or keeping one Item around to duplicate for just this case.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperWe can look into it, but we would have to track all the methods of adjusting inventory. Currently we only save the last userid that updated the Item record, not the Purchase record.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperHi Albertine,
We’ll need more details on this issue. Could you open a support ticket?
Thanks,
John
John Manning, Senior DeveloperCorrect, these will still be used from the presets, only the Payment Methods will be superseded by Managed Payments.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperJust an update, we were able to find the issue with the Restore in certain cases. We will have a fix out in the latest beta, 4.00.127, or later.
Thanks,
John
John Manning, Senior DeveloperIt should take a few minutes at most for the database itself. Is it also trying to restore an external picture folder?
If you open a ticket, our support team can check out if it actually completed and the UI is just hung up.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperThat’s true, if you turn off uniqueness, you would be able to check for uniqueness via the Duplicate SKU View but it’s not the same as locking it down.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperIn File|Options|Creating Items, SKU Management tab you can customize how the SKU is constructed, if they are unique, and if you want them auto-generated or not.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperThe color coding should match the workflow status from Workflow tab. Reddish for Under Construction, light blue for Awaiting Upload.
John Manning, Senior DeveloperHi Barry,
Other than possibly using a template instead of duplication as an option, you have it correct. Except for step 6, don’t do that unless you don’t want to revise your Listing from SixBit or handle the resulting Sale or Relist. An Item in SixBit represents the physical item in your inventory, a Listing is that item as shown on any particular site. Ebay, Etsy, Shopify, etc. So you have one Item in that case, and multiple Listings. When Orders come in from any site, the inventory is updated and reallocated if any remain, ended if not. Once an Item is listed once, it will move to Previously Listed status.
SixBit differs from Turbo Lister in that crucial way, while Turbo Lister creates the Listing on eBay and is done with that item, SixBit keeps it throughout the life cycle, since it is a complete listing management tool, not just a lister. Some TL users only use one item in TL and keep relisting it with different details. Do that in SixBit would result in missing out of 2/3 of the major functionality. If you remove the Item, it will also remove the corresponding Listing from SixBit along with any Orders. In that case you won’t be able to use any of the Order reporting, such as Profit/Loss. If you change the Item you have an existing listing for in SixBit, you may trigger revisions to that Listing as well, corrupting it if it wasn’t the same thing.

Check out the Video Library for more information on Items. They should all be available in the Support tab of the program as well.
Here’s a webinar on the Item window in particular.
Hope that helps,
John
John Manning, Senior DeveloperHi Greg,
You can’t duplicate from within the Edit Item Window, but you can navigate from it. So if you select an Item in the Sell Items Grid, make the number of duplicates you want and then edit one, you will be able to navigate among them if they are in the new Under Construction view.

Also, rather than duplicating, you can save one as a template, which will then appear in the dropdown of the Add toolbar button in Sell Items, allowing you to create a new one pre-populated with that information.
