About Auctiva

Function

1. Auctiva tools can effectively help sellers establish independent eBay pages.

2. Auctiva has integrated with eBay US and Amazon US marketplaces to provide an efficient multi-channel selling experience.

3. The Auctiva tool can also schedule and automatically upload items offline, making it a relatively easy-to-use tool for sellers.

4. Auctiva provides tools for listing products and online marketing, as well as tools for operating online stores. These tools can be used both on the main eBay site and on other e-commerce sites.

5. Auctiva's special features include support for scrolling of 14 pictures and the ability to change the position of the scrolling gallery on items.

It is not difficult to make an eBay template. It only requires basic web page design knowledge and simple application of web page design tools, such as frontpage, dreamweaver, etc.
