LotJitsu writes your lots' fields from their photos, straight into the lot. The text you see is the text that gets exported, so read it before you export.
When LotJitsu writes
LotJitsu writes every field set to Auto in the catalog's settings. See How LotJitsu writes your listings.
- Standard (phone) and the Add Lot window (computer): the fields fill in while you watch, and Confirm Details waits until they are done.
- Fast Entry Mode: the lot saves first and LotJitsu writes in the background. Review each lot later by opening it.
- No connection (phone only): the writing waits until the lot's photos have been sent.
What to check
LotJitsu describes only what the photos show and is told not to guess. It can still get things wrong. Check:
- what the item is, and any brand, maker or model
- materials, colour and finish
- measurements and counts (a photo rarely shows size or how many pieces there are)
- marks, signatures and labels: that they exist and say what the text says
- damage, wear and repairs
- any claim about age, condition, working order, completeness or authenticity
Don't call an item authentic, rare, working, complete or valuable unless you have checked it yourself. Add what a photo can't show: whether it works, known faults, history, and pickup or handling notes.
Rewrite or edit a field
- Type over it. The text is in ordinary fields.
- Ask LotJitsu again. Use Auto Write in the app, or the button beside the field on your computer. It replaces the field's text, including anything you typed, and the old text is not kept.
Steps for each surface: Edit a lot and rewrite it with Auto Write on your phone and Edit a lot on your computer.
When a field comes back empty
LotJitsu leaves a field empty rather than guess. That is common for estimates and categories.
- Nothing to generate means LotJitsu tried but couldn't write that field from the photos, usually because the item isn't clearly visible. Try a clearer photo, or type it yourself.
- Unable to recognize photo (phone, Standard mode) means LotJitsu found neither a title nor a description in the photos.
- If the waiting symbol clears and nothing changes, wait a moment and try again.
Good to know
- There is no way to rewrite many lots at once. Open each lot and rewrite the fields you want.
- Changing the catalog's Automated Writing Style affects only text written after the change.
- Fields with a length limit show a counter. LotJitsu's text always fits; typed text can go over, and the export check flags it.
