Listing import questions

Question: When I import listings from Trade Me, how do I ensure that my existing listings are not overwritten?

Answer: In the Trade Me Listings Downloader, under Listing Options select Add New Listings. This will preserve any changes you have made to your downloaded listings, instead of overwriting them.

Question: Can I download more than one suburb's listings at a time?

Answer: Yes, using the TradeMe downloader select Multiple Listings, open the Suburb ID tab. Lookup your preferred suburb tick the checkbox to include Adjacent Suburbs (tick this setting before you click Find Listings). In addition to your chosen suburb, the listings from neighbouring suburbs will also be imported.

Question: Can I export listings to Microsoft Excel?

Answer: Yes, in Gallery select the listings you wish to export then click Tools, Export Listings.

Under Available Fields, expand the categories and double-click the fields you wish to export. Some recommended fields include:

• Listings.Ref (reference ID#)
  
• Prop.StreetStNo (street address)
  
• Prop.Suburb (suburb)
  
• Prop.Beds (number of bedrooms)
  
• AdText.Heading (advert header)
  

Note each field is a construct of the prefix / category, then the suffix / data. Therefore the Prop.Beds field will be found under the Prop field category.
