Postage - Anybody Know How to Batch Update Existing Listings?

[Former_Member]

I'm looking for a way to add another country to a group of items I have listed without having to go into each listing individually. If you know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate your sharing how to do so. Thanks

You go to shipping (on the left of your page), then to update shipping profiles, then to add another country.
I hope it then updates all your listings automatically -I just learned that if I change a shipping rate in one of my profiles, I still have to change all listings manually, which makes NO sense to me. What's a profile for? Am going to contact etsy about that today. But hopefully what you are trying to do works better. Good luck!

I've noticed that too, Claudia, and it's silly. Why update a profile when you still have to update each listing manually? :(

Claudia and Arielle,
Thanks for responding. Yeah, manually updating each listing is what I was trying to avoid. Hopefully, they'll come up with a way to have it apply to any listing where one has used that profile.

You can change the shipping profile and then apply said profile to all the listings again, granted it's not that fast. but it is a lot faster than going into each listing and changing it that way...

I've seen that some shops have more shipping information in their listings, like:

Shipping Speed
3-5 weeks
Estimated Delivery
Fri, Nov 09 – Fri, Nov 30

When I list an item those options aren't available in my listing page, how do you set that?

These things are available in the Shipping Improvements prototype. It has the tool to bulk edit your shipping too.
