easy populate all my prices show 0.00

Hey,
I just downloaded EAsy Populate (I'm trying the free version first) At any rate, I downloaded the sample contents to see how things should be written. I then made my headings the same and entered all my data in excel and Saved as Txt I uploaded and was pleased to see that the products were in my store. How ever when I click on an item look at it there is no price and when placed in my cart it says it's $0.00. This is a problem seeing as I can't give my products away no matter how much I'd like to . Any idea what may be the cause?
Here are my product headings if that helps. They do show up as 1 lnie on my screen.
v_products_model v_products_image v_products_name_1 v_products_description_1 v_products_url_1 v_products_price v_products_weight v_date_avail v_date_added v_products_quantity v_manufacturers_name v_categories_name_1 v_categories_name_2 v_tax_class_title v_status EOREOR

Thanx in advance

Is it only your easypopulate products that are affected?
Have you entered any products normally? Do they show correctly?

yes, It seems to be only the easy populate items. the few I entered manually are showing up just fine

You're probably missing some master_categories_id settings and maybe it didn't calculate all your prices correctly.
There are two buttons in Admin->Tools->Store Manager to do that: master-categories-id reset, and reset products price sorter.

But, easypopulate normally does both of those steps automatically for you after it loads your products.

I'll try that thanx.

I'm befuddled. I tried the resets but, the prices still don't show
maybe I coded something wrong. I also checked all the settings that the tutorial said to check. I just haven't been able to check on another computer. I'll do that next .

Above my easy populate headers..tried and tested..
they must be uploaded as tab delimited .csv file NOT .txt file
EVERY product must have unique MODEL number.
I use Open Office, can never get Excel to work
HTH

Thanx Misty
I may try to revamp my spread sheet

Although digging a little deeper into products price manager. When I check individual products its says current price status is preview only. Is there a way to set my products out of preview mode? Preferably in bulk. I have 4,000 products.

Thanx again everyone

Have you got your store set as showcase only
i.e. Visitors can view but not purchase?
Also don't upload more than 300/500 products
at any one time when using Easy Populate.

how do I check to see if it's set to show case and how can I delete my products and onlu upload 300- 500?
