| Thanks Mario,
I ran a quick test, it selected the proper list and the import was successful. I wish you had a "donate" button, but I did the next best thing and upped my subscription by a couple of years. Dave |

| OK, this is what I could do quickly.
You can now import a list called "Gixen list" (note that it *has* to be called that way, case sensitive), there is a specific button for that added to the interface. I hope this helps you. Adding ability to add any list would require much more time and development effort - I don't see how I could do it without of wizard of some kind, or at least an addition drop box. |

| OK, let me see if I can do something about it, e.g. allow user to specify the list from which the items should be imported. | |

| Yes, I forget when eBay started allowing them.
I use them to manage the items that I am interested in. Each day I get "search result emails" from eBay, which I then review and add items to the watch list. The watch list still has a max of 200 items, so having the ability to create the users own lists is invaluable to me. I "prune" from the watch list to the user list. The user lists allow me to organize by sellers, dates, and other lists are for categories of items that I routinely buy, etc. Ultimately things end up on the "Gixen List" where I do my html scraping / XSL transformation to create the CSV file to upload. |

| Dave, I haven't looked at this for a while, does eBay allow you to have user-defined lists? | |

| Just to clarify, I would want the wizard only to import the smaller, user created eBay list, not do the selection stuff or have anything to do with creating the smaller eBay list...

| Mario, Thanks for the reply.
I think long term it would be something a lot of users would be interested in using. The watch list to me is a first level "hey, I want to consider bidding on these items", then pull a sub-group of items from the watch list into smaller lists for import "today", or some other selection criteria, etc. I currently do it by using Firefox / Firebug to pull from a "list page" the html for the "table" with class="my_itl-iT" into Notepad++ where I use the "tidy" function and save as XML, then run it through a XSL transformation to obtain the CSV format for importing. I then add my snipe amounts to the CSV and import using Gixen. Having a wizard would cut out a lot of my old-style grunt work.... Thanks, Dave. |

| Dave, there was some discussion on this in the past, e.g. making a wizard that would allow users to select what they want imported, and I see it being very useful, only I never actually found time to implement that, and I still have far more pressing priorities. | |

|
| Any thoughts about allowing import from a user list other than the watch list? My watch list is usually close to the max of 200 items, but I keep "sublists" of items in certain categories and would like to be able to import one of the smaller lists.
