Yes, they did come up with a way to import listings to BISI, but it's not what was originally promised, which was a way to launch ready-to-go listings the same way it can be done with ebay. The import feature is cumbersome and full of bugs, and any references to ebay, or any details that have to be changed in the listing due to differences in the two selling venues, have to be changed manually in each listing. All of the templates are still set up with everything ebay.
I know that there are a handful of ebay powersellers who are still very disappointed and unhappy with the whole thing.
I don't visit the IF forums much at all anymore, so perhaps some of the cumbersome buggy glitches have been worked out of the import feature. Maybe Stone will weigh in on this topic - I know that he was quite vocal about wanting IF to follow through on their original promise.
And something else - I don't think that anybody at IF intentionally misled any of us - I think that they just get so darn busy and sidetracked with other, and sometimes new, issues & ventures, that this fell by the wayside. I do believe that their intentions are good, and that they honestly do put looking out for the clients at the top of their priorities. Again - JMO.
