Boo Hoo! put several things on turbolister last night. tonight they are gone! not in the waiting to upload :( what did I do wrong?

[mumofdjandbabies]

boo hoo
Took me ages

[sixlostmonkeys]

are they still in the folder you created them in?
unless you have physically deleted them they are still there somewhere - open all the folders and 2nd folders

[mumofdjandbabies]

ah not sure how to open the folders and sec folders hmm

how would i do that , was trying it

[mumofdjandbabies]

must have deleted them or do you have to sign out of turbo lister?

i was wondering that as I think I just clicked the x and never officially signed out??? might that be it?

[sixlostmonkeys]

nope you don't have to sign out or anything. I just click x

open up turbo lister and then on the left on side...click the bar that says inventory.

get beck to me if you find anything - or not

[mumofdjandbabies]

nope theyre not there what a bummer took me hours.........

[sixlostmonkeys]

they are there - trust me.
what do you have in the side bar? does it say inventory with a number at the side?

[mumofdjandbabies]

oh well has made me a bit nervous of turbo lister wish you were here to teach me !!! lol

[mumofdjandbabies]

yeah says inventory 0

[mumofdjandbabies]

when i last was on turbolister it said waiting to upload 9 i think thats the 9 i had done and i intended on uploading them tonight xxx

[sixlostmonkeys]

hmm that doesn't sound good.

can you run me through what you did from start to finish. eg. did you create a template? did you create a folder to store them in?

[mumofdjandbabies]

this is where i prob look stupid

No i just went to create an item and then created it and clicked to wait to upload never made a folder or anything (never knew was meant to )

[mumofdjandbabies]

do you make a folder everytime?
I am thick arent i! lol

[sixlostmonkeys]

I create templates with as much of the general repeated info on as possible.
I then create sub folder from the folder names my items. I call them thursday or sunday etc.

When I'm creating a new listing I file > new > item from template > template - then I'm prompted to select the folder I want to store it in.

I keep them all the folder until I'm ready to upload. So on Sunday, I open up the folder called sunday, highlight all, add to upload > go to upload > calculate fees > upload.

The items will still remain in the folder named sunday so I then have another folder called donejanuary (for eg) and so I highlight all again, > copy > paste into done, go back to sunday > highlight all > delete.... and then I'm ready for starting on the next batch

[mumofdjandbabies]

right I will follow all that and give it all a go! you have been so kind
thanks honey (ill prob be back tho)

[sixlostmonkeys]

pop back when ever you get a prob - it can be scary at first but once it's set up it makes life so much easier.

Just start of with folders that will mean something to you, and a couple of templates where you can pre fill item specifics etc. Put the secondary folders in the folder called my items
