The Setup Assistant automatically runs when you first start eBay Blackthorne. It will walk you through getting the program configured correctly with your business and eBay account information. It helps you import data and set your important options. If you later need to add to or change any of your option preferences, you can do so by selecting Tools | Options from the main menu.
Part of the setup procedure requires communicating with eBay, so make sure that you are currently connected to the Internet before proceeding.

You can choose to skip some of the steps, but it is highly recommended that you enter as much information as you can, especially your eBay seller account(s) and the E-mail addresses that your business uses. Blackthorne cannot operate properly without this information, so it will close if you choose to not enter it. |

If a problem arises, and you wish to run the Setup Assistant again, close Blackthorne. Then use Windows Explorer to open the folder where your application data is stored (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\eBay\Blackthorne) and delete the file System.pvt. When you restart Blackthorne, the Setup Assistant will run. |
The first screen to appear will be the Welcome screen. When it appears, click Next to continue.
The first thing is to specify is the site(s) you will be listing to.
Next, you need to set up your seller account(s) . Click New to enter a seller account.
See Accounts - Seller_Accounts for help creating your first account.
Finally, you are asked if you want to import any data. If you choose to import from eBay, remember that eBay only keeps information about listings posted in the last 90 days.
