Items not cataloged/ Items not photographed/ Featured Images not set

When reviewing your auction inventory, you might see a concerning message. But there's nothing to worry about!

Items not cataloged: 

Sellers don’t need to fill out every section of inventory for every item. When all fields are not filled out, the “manage auction items” page will register them as “not cataloged.” This will NOT prevent an auction from launching nor will it prevent items from being sold. 

Items not photographed: 

If an item has less than four photos, the system will register the item as “not photographed.” Again, this will NOT prevent an item from being sold. 

Featured Images Not Set:

Under the auctions tab, sellers can select items to appear under the "featured items" filter. 

 

  • Featured items appear under a filter that bidders can use to search your auction.
  • Generally high value items, or particularly attractive items might be checked. 
  • This is NOT the pick 5, rather this is an additional way to emphasize auction items.
