Setting up a recurring download

Selling Manager Pro subscribers
You can schedule download requests to be processed on a regular basis. You will receive a regular email when the file is ready each day, week, or month, depending on your choices.

You have a choice of download schedules.

• A daily frequency includes all records from the previous day from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. Each day you will receive an email containing a link to the file.



• A weekly frequency includes the previous seven days of sales records. You will also need to choose a day of the week on which you want the file to be ready. For example, if you choose Sunday, then all records from 12:00 AM the previous Sunday until 11:59 PM on Saturday will be included in the download file.



• A monthly frequency means that each month you will receive an email to a file containing the desired records from the preceding calendar month. For example, if on 15 February you set up a recurring monthly download of all your Sold items at the beginning of March you will be emailed a link to a file containing all your Sold items from 12:00 AM 1 February to 11:59 pm 28 February. If it is a leap year, you will get all records from 12:00 AM 1 February to 11:59 PM 29 February.

    To set up a recurring download:

1. From the Summary view, in the right column, under Seller Tools, click File Management Centre.
   
   
2. From the File Management Centre page, click Create Download Schedule.
   
   
3. Select the type of listings and records you want.
   
   
4. Select the frequency and timing of your scheduled download, including an End Schedule time.
   
   
5. Enter or verify the email address that the downloads will be sent to.
