Default settings?

Hi,

I’ve only just set up my booth, so forgive me if this is a really daft, rooky question.
Is there a way to set up default listing settings in advance, so that settings such as selected attributes, shipping, “best offer” etc are default for all new listings? It seems unwieldy to be changing these by batch settings after they’ve been listed, and I don’t want someone browsing an item with the wrong settings before I’ve had chance to change them (if doing it via batch settings, I’d likely be listing many items over a period of hours before changing settings).
I think I tried to make changes on the booth settings, but they don’t seem to have applied to subsequent listings, and I still had to add my 3 postage arrangements, multiple purchase postage discounts, removing “offers accepted” and adding all the attributes after listing.

There is no default for shipping/attributes/traits

I do not think it can be set up in advance…however you can edit a listing and then

Save my selections as a new item trait profile (give the profile a name) and then apply the profile(s) in batch edit under Item traits to selected items

You can also create shipping profiles and do the same…however, this will only affect the method of shipping…I do not think prices carry over to the profiles (though it has been a very long time since I ever used on…so that may have been updated)…

However individualized attributes (upc, mpn, isbn) will have to be entered individually if they are not already there in the import

Thank you, I feared as much! I did find the saved traits for shipping (I have to add 2 separately, being in the UK, as I have to add “rest of the world” in a different setting to my UK shipping prices).
