Quote:***Coming Soon: Event Catalog and File Exchange to Debut in Tickets Category***
November 18, 2005 | 10:19AM PST/PT
In late November, we will be introducing two new features in the Event Tickets category: Event Catalog and File Exchange. The Event Catalog is an optional feature that will help you list your tickets more easily by pre-filling Item Specifics information for you. Simply enter the event name, venue and/or date, and the rest of the details will be provided. It can also automatically generate a map of the venue to be used as your stock photo in the listing.
File Exchange, designed for large sellers, allows sellers to list a high number of tickets at one time through a flat file that can be created from an MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access, or other inventory software. Sellers must meet the standard File Exchange requirements in order to use this tool. For more details about this feature you can also visit the File Exchange page in Seller Central.
If you list your items through an eBay seller tool (the Sell Your Item form, Turbo Lister, Selling Manager, etc.) or the eBay API, the Event Catalog will be available in late November. If you utilize a 3rd party listing service (e.g., Vendio, Andale), please contact them to verify that they will offer the Catalog functionality in this category.
We have started threads on the Sports Cards, Memorabilia & Fanshop board, as well as on the Music & Musicians board, to provide more detail about the upcoming product features and launch.
