Please Allow Ctrl A in HTML Preview of WAM

[ccamato]

Hi,

I am not sure how difficult it would be to program this into WAM but I would love to see Control A (copy) be allowed in HTML Preview or the Description Field. I have had to tweak my auctions quite a bit and I have to place my cursor at the very beginning and scroll down all that code each and every time! I am so used to using Ctrl a, then delete, or Ctrl v, whatever the case may be. I guess I am lazy, sorry!
Observation:

When posting with WAM, everything goes great but when I go to 'Selling' on My Account to Edit a listing, it makes the HTML all messed up and jumbled again. One time I just added one space to the title and it messed it all up. In other words, after posting with WAM using FP coding, you can't edit afterward - you have to trash and resubmit the listing. Am I missing something?

TIA

Carol,

If you right click with your mouse pointer, you will be able to use cut, copy, paste, delete, and select all. This should work in the source page and preview page. Let me know if this not address your issue.

I would have to check into the edit issue that you speak of on the site, as I am not aware of such an issue.

Did you know that you can edit the auctions right from WAM? There is no need to have to modify on the site. You would just open the auction that you want to edit in WAM... make any changes and save the changes. Then add to upload like you would with a new auction. Once you upload the modified auction, the changes would be immediately reflected on the auction.

Thanks for your resonse. Great news about being able to right click and use the functions I am used to - AWESOME!

I don't understand this:
" Once you upload the modified auction, the changes would be immediately reflected on the auction."

Wouldn't that duplicate the acution? So, you are saying it doesn't "go live" but just modifies the existed listing?

Thanks,

Carol

Each auction in the auction manager is auction specific. So if you make changes to an active auction and upload the changes, it would modify that auction that is already running. It would not start a new auction.

You can view the status of each auction in the status column. If it is set as "new", it will start a new auction. If it is set as "modified" it will update an existing auction. If it is set an "ended", it will do nothing.

We recommend executing the "update inventory" option from the file menu before modifying auctions. That way you know for sure that you are modifying the active auction, and not trying to modify an auction that has ended. When you update inventory, it will download all the relisted auctions that are not in your local database, and set the expired auctions as "ended".
