3.1. Importing Items from Bonanza

Only ACTIVE items may be imported. Be sure you have a profile set up for your Bonanza Seller ID and that you have obtained a token.

Navigate to Listings > Bonanza Items > Listings Import.

The importer's action bar has four dropdown option lists (Seller ID / Site, Import, Width, and Quality) and shows three different total counts (Found, Already Has Template, and Available for Import). It also contains the "Import Checked Items" button.

Seller ID / Site: Choose your Seller ID from this dropdown to be shown a list of importable items for that Seller ID. 

Import: Choose what information to import. To import both the listings and your images from Bonanza, keep the default "Listing & Image" option (recommended). The "Listing Text only" option will import the listing, but not its images. The "Images only" option will import the images from Bonanza, but not the listing.

Quality and Width: If your existing images at Bonanza are 1600px wide and you wish them to be imported the same width to your Seller Sourcebook account, be sure to select "1600px" for Width and the "Maximum" Quality setting. For any new listings or transfers, the images you import will be sent back to Bonanza in the same condition they arrived at SSB when you imported them.

Found: How many listings the importer located for that Seller ID, total.
Already Has Template: How many of the found listings already have SSB templates applied to them.
Available for Import: How many of the found listings do not have listing records in your account. These are the listings you will be able to import to SSB.

Below the action bar, you should see a table of listings available for import. For the Bonanza Importer, the table headings are: a master checkbox, SSB, Item ID, Title, Time Left, Type, Bids, and Price.

A checkbox can be used to select or deselect a listing. The SSB column in the table indicates whether listings were generated by SSB or not (Yes or No). As a new subscriber, you would see "No" in the SSB column for all listings. Item ID shows the ID number of the listing, and links to that listing on Bonanza. The listing's Title and Price are also displayed.

Using the checkboxes, checkmark the items you wish to import. You may import up to 50 items per importing session. Clicking on the checkbox in the table's header will select all listings on the page. If you are new to SSB or importing items to SSB, we suggest selecting only a few to start, until you become familiar with our system.

When ready, click on the Import Checked Items button.

You will then be taken to the Bonanza Items Imported view where your items will be displayed. Please wait for the images to import to your account before starting another importing session. There will be a progress indicator reflecting how many images are being imported. 

The action "Apply Template" will be available within the Actions dropdown list for individual listings. The action bar (top or bottom) of the page will have an "Apply Template" button as well as an "Import More Items" button.

Items that have been imported to your account will be indicated by within Bonanza Items Launched.

Note: Templates must be applied to imported items to be able to edit those items in the Listing Generator, and to be able to utilize our listing transfer utility.
