How to Create an Item
Usually an item is created directly from Consignment except when an item is from the auction house inventory. You may also create an item using the Items menu.
Make sure you are on the right sale context.
On the side menu go to Items
Click on
+create new item
Fill in the item's information, paying special attention to these fields:
Item Information - you can enter the item description in several languages. Click on one of the language buttons (i.e EN, DE, HE etc.) to fill in the item information fields in the chosen language. For example: click on EN button and fill in the Title, Subtitle and Description in English. Then click the DE button and fill in the same fields in German.
To show the content simultaneously in multiple languages, click on Show other languages and use the other languages block to easily translate the item while viewing both languages.
Images - Click on Select image and choose the item image from your local folder. You can add images to all sale's items without the need to manually upload them one by one. See How to Mass Upload Item Images.
Sale Info - make sure the correct sale is populated in the Sale field. You can leave this field empty and assign the item later (see How to Assign Bulk Items to a Sale).
In the Temporary lot field you can enter a temporary number assigned to this lot before the final lot number is added.
Packages - select the type of package. If you leave this empty it will be set to the default, Envelope. This will be used to calculate the shipping costs.
Public message - you can add a special message that will display to ALL bidders when this lot is the active lot during a live auction.
Auctioneer Notes - add a private message that is only displayed on the auctioneer screen when this lot is the active lot during a live auction.
Consignment - an item should always be associated with a consignment, unless it is an item from the auction house inventory. In the latter case, check the Auction house inventory.
Withdrawn - item marked as "withdrawn" will appear as part of the sale, but will be disabled for bidding. Use this if you have added an item to the sale, but there is a problem with it, and you can’t offer it at the live auction.
When you've finished entering the item information, click Save. You can always come back and edit the item.
