Auction settings profiles and handling them in the IdoSell.com on-line store

Auction settings profile is a set of auction resuming settings. It allows to list auctions without the need of taking all steps of Auction listing wizard. You can save a lot of time, using it. It also gives you control over auction listing process - all settings are stored in one place (SALES / Internet auctions / Auction settings profiles), so you can quickly view and modify them, if it is necessary.

Just define auction settings profile to be able to list unlimited number of auctions.

First make sure, if:

• there is at least one profile present for auction site, you would like to list auction on,
• auction site category is assigned to product, you want to list.

To list product on auction:

1. find Internet auctions on product card (product edition) or list of products,
2. select auction site,
3. click on List for size you want to list and List of available settings profiles window will be displayed,
4. now you can decide whether:
   • list an auction normally (taking all the steps of auction listing process),
   • list an auction, using auction settings profile - selecting profile from drop-down list,
   • add new auction settings profile and list an auction with its use.

After selecting profile from drop-down list a window will be displayed with its settings preview. Here you can see, what settings auctions will be listed with and determine number of products to list.

If you are sure of these settings, click on List auctions. If any of settings do not suit your current need, go to profile edition, change desired things, save changes and start product listing procedure once again.

You can also take all the steps of Auction listing wizard ant save new template in step six - you will be able to use it later.

If all information necessary to list auctions will be complete and correct, auction will be listed. After successful listing, summary will be displayed.
