eBay

I save a pdf copy of my major sold listings. How can I make one pdf copy if when I click the See full item description button, it opens a new window? Trying to save this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-Saturn-Vue-Redline-AWD-with-FREE-DELIVERY-/152712825686?hash=item238e6...

I print to pdf a lot too. I have tried to figure this out for as it would help me too, but I can't think of anyway except to print twice (one with the 1st screen and the 2nd with the complete description). If I think of something else, I'll come back and post it. 😞

Ebay had a "PRINT" button in listings years ago that made it real easy and eliminated extraneous junk like sponsored ads from printing, but some corporate genius axed it.

A kludge. I use pdfcreator for printing to pdf, and have made it the default printer in my eBay browser ( to save time choosing)

It has a collection function. When the its print dialog comes up I can hit Alt-W (or click Wait..Collect) and then go print more pages that get added. When done, hit Ctrl-A the Ctrl-P (or toolbar clicks) and pages combine into single PDF doc and are saved.

The obvious answer is to just pull it from your original write up done before actually sending the listing to eBay. I always figured that it was normal for listings to be prepared offline before sending them anywhere.

If it works, sell it. If it works well, sell it for more. If it doesn't work, quadruple the price and sell it as an antique.

Just downloaded this and seems to work great combining two docs.

I do prepare and save all my lisitings offline but they are in html, so if I have 100 pictures in a listing, it's not the same as seeing the actual listing.

Cool. PDFcreator is pretty good. I've messed with a half a dozen or so over the years and ended up just sticking with it because it works well for me.

Another good PDF tool is PDF Xchange viewer. It lets you do quite a bit with PDF files and now I think the new version is actually a full editor.
