SixBit Help needed - how to batch change domestic shipping
I'm having a bit of trouble with SixBit, I used to know how to do this...
How to batch change the domestic shipping? Edit Items, Batch Change Items, Batch Edit Items don't appear to have a shipping amount for me to update. I'm also supposed to be able to select for this to apply to all currently running inventory to update them on eBay.
I used to know how to do this, but I've forgotten, I seem to remember it was some hidden thing I stumbled on once, and SixBit help pages don't seem to show batch changing shipping, just if I change shipping on each listing one at a time.
Thanks for your help!

OP2 years agoThanks @slippinjimmy
It looks like I'm learning something new tonight. (I've never used the preset, what I did was create templates and fill in the shipping for that type of item). So the preset is all new to me, hope you don't mind if I have a few more questions as I'm trying to learn this.
I've been playing around with SixBit to try and learn what it does, I don't think I'm getting my money's worth with lack of knowledge to use the program to it's best ability. It does make me go fast using templates though, so that much is good.

OP2 years agoI think I figured it out! I tested it on a few live listings. I will need to update the listings to show the profile I'm using for shipping.
Is it possible to update the saved listings and they copy the info to running listings? Or do I have to edit the running listings and it will save the info on the saved listing format? I seemed to remember there was a way to edit things in the directory and it would update the running listings, but I can't remember how to do that. (That's easier because my listings are sorted in folders by type of item, so editing there is fast).

·2 years agoYou would need to use Bulk Edit to assign new Shipping Presets to existing Items. For Active listings you need to make the change in Running Listings with the the option (lower left of the listing details page) "Apply changes to Item...."
SixBit Shipping Presets are what eBay copied to create Business Policies just after they closed down blackthorne which was an earlier version of SixBit.
