I'm done with this piece of crap software.

Sorry to be blunt. Just too many bugs in this software to make using it of any benefit for me..I just spent an hour+ updating my listings and the program closed losing all the data. It's faster to make changes manually!

I'll go for a paid solution with a user friendly program that actually works and isn't so unnecessarily cumbersome to use....For example, you have to go to one screen to select/filter your listings and then another to edit them...Why not one screen to do this?

I also don't like how you can't scroll through the listings page once a listing is selected (makes copying and pasting from one listing to another very cumbersome) AND for some reason, the ORDER of the listings keeps changing as you edit making it difficult to know which listings you've finished modifying and which you still have left.

That combined with the lack of a completed set of instructions or tutorials makes this program a nightmare for new users like myself.

Best of luck to everyone else and still sincerest thanks to Chris for trying.

Re: I'm done with this piece of crap software.

While I am leaving this topic up and open, I'm not sure how to respond. You are certainly entitled to find the paid software that does meet your needs.

First, I agree partially with the filter listings. Many of these you can now change on that screen. Descriptions and Titles have very specific needs, however, putting these options on a single screen is difficult. I cannot anticipate how a person is going to find and screen the listings; hence the approach I took.

You were manually copying and pasting sections of text on the description page. I did not anticipate that use. I anticipated full scale additions, deletions and replacements through the function menu; manual changes were for simple changes. I've learned something.

Your right about not having a complete set of instructions. As the program evolves, it makes it difficult to keep this complete, I've provided help and help tips where I thought they were most needed.

I consider this program a beta because I know its not perfect. I rely on the users to inform me of difficulties and errors. That is the "cost" of the program. I already have a full time job and its difficult to provide everything that is needed to keep this operating. Not counting my time, I lose money providing this program.

I can only hope others are not this frustrated with the program as it is.
In any event I do listen to even people leaving and I wish you the best of luck in finding the right application for you.

Re: I'm done with this piece of crap software.

I respect your leaving this topic up and open and I appreciate your reply. I was admittedly harsh in my assessment...That was the frustration of losing my work showing through. It doesn't mean I m not appreciative of your efforts, I am.

All the best with your future updates :)

Re: I'm done with this piece of crap software.

Thanks! I can understand the frustration of losing one's work. Its happened to me more than I care to think about since our shops are the test bed.
If you want to send me a convo about what you were trying to cut and paste I can can try to figure out what happened; I might be able to figure out a better way to do it. The sorting function is caused by a sort function being left on in the manual mode, I have logged that as a bug to fix.
If you could you use the replacement function, which can be very powerful, you might be able to avoid all that cut and paste,

Re: I'm done with this piece of crap software.

There is no paid software to update Etsy. It seems like one by one each software editing program is being removed, which is sad to the users. So far, two different programs have been removed, BETSI and Storefuze.

Now, I need to learn Zetsy to bulk edit my listings. It's tough.
