      Frequently asked questions ✅

       

      • How long should a bulk upload from the Finder take?
        An upload might take up to 8 hours to be completed. It is dependent on the selling site response. 

      • Do all users get the same products?
        No. Each user gets unique products that were never uploaded before. However, the items will go out of the Finder's list only when they are uploaded successfully. It means that scheduled products will not be removed from the Finder's list until they are successfully uploaded.

      • If a product fails to upload, what happens with the credits?
        First, you will be charged by the credit number and not the number of items uploaded. One item can be worth 1 to 5 credits depending on the Auto-Finder category you have selected.
        You will not be charged only if a draft was not created due to a failure reason concerning AutoDS settings such as max shipping days, out-of-stock product, etc. 
        You will be charged when the upload was scheduled or the draft was created. In these cases, you get to see the source items and upload them again after correcting the issue causing the error.

      • Can I choose a price range for the items which will be uploaded by the Finder?
        No. This option is not available with the bulk uploads from the Finder.

      • Can I choose a category or a niche to upload from?
        No. This feature is not yet supported yet.

      • How long does it take for a Finder upload to be completed?
        Finder uploads take up to 8 hours to complete regardless of how many products were uploaded.

      • I tried to upload products and the system does not let me choose the number I wish, it sets it back to a lower number, why is that? 
        An automatic limit is set for all users: During one upload, you can either upload up to 500 listings or up to 30% of your plan limit - whichever is the highest. This limitation is set to assure all users will be able to upload products on time and to make sure the uploads run smoothly with no delays.
