Bulk Edit Lots

The Bulk Edit feature on the Lots and Preview Images screen allows you to update a field across multiple lots at once — saving significant time when managing large auctions or correcting cataloging mistakes.

You can access Bulk Edit from: Lots and Preview Images → select one or more lots → click Bulk Edit in the left sidebar.


Step 1: Select Lots

Select the lots you want to edit using standard multi-select:

Method

Ctrl + Click

Select or deselect individual lots

Shift + Click

Selected rows will be highlighted in blue. The Bulk Edit button in the left sidebar becomes active as soon as at least one row is selected.

Tip: To select all lots, click the first row, then Shift+Click the last row.


Step 2: Open Bulk Edit

With one or more lots selected, click Bulk Edit in the left sidebar. The Bulk Edit dialog will open.


Step 3: Choose a Field to Update

Use the Field Name dropdown to select which field you want to update across your selected lots. The following fields are available:

Step 4: Review the Current Value

After selecting a field, the Current Value area shows the existing value(s) across your selected lots:

  • If all selected lots share the same value, that value is displayed.

  • If the selected lots have different values, the field shows "Multiple values".


Step 5: Enter the New Value

Enter or select the value you want to apply to all selected lots in the New Value field. The input type adapts to the field selected:

  • Checkboxes appear for toggle fields like Shipping and Featured.

  • Dollar inputs appear for pricing fields like Start Bid, Reserve, Presale Min, and Presale Max.

  • Dropdowns appear for fields like Inventory Type, Commission Code, and Tax Status.

Then click Apply.


Step 6: Confirm the Change

A confirmation dialog will appear showing the field and the number of lots that will be updated:

"You are attempting to change the [field] to [value] for [X] selected lot(s). Are you sure you want to proceed?"

Click Yes to apply or No to cancel without making any changes.


Step 7: Success Confirmation

After confirming, a success message will confirm how many lots were updated:

"Successfully Changed the [Field Name] for [X] Lot(s)."

Click OK to dismiss the message. The updated values will be reflected immediately in the lot list.


Notes

  • Clicking Cancel in the Bulk Edit dialog at any point discards all changes and closes the dialog.

  • Lots that are part of an invoice cannot have certain fields updated — a warning will appear if applicable.

  • The Source/Consignor field can be mass-updated separately using the Source button in the left sidebar.
