How to list products on eBay

This article provides a step-by-step guide to help you list products from your Main Store to eBay using LitCommerce. It includes:


Step 1: Add Draft listings to the eBay channel from All Products

Step 2: Edit Draft listings in the LitCommerce eBay channel

Step 3: Publish Draft listings on eBay


The process transfers only products found in LitCommerce’s All Products section. Make sure to check that all your Main Store items are included, and import any missing ones if needed.


Further details can be found below.


Step 1: Add Draft listings to the eBay channel from All Products


To list on eBay, you will need to add a Draft listing to the eBay channel in LitCommerce.


  1. Go to the All Products section from the sidebar menu.



  1. Select the products you want to list, click Select Action, and choose Add to Channel Drafts.



  1. Choose the eBay channel and click Add As Draft Now.



You can list the listings in bulk. The Add All Products To Channel Drafts feature is available for paid plan users to help speed up the process.



Step 2: Edit Draft listings in the LitCommerce eBay channel


After completing the first stage, your listings will appear under the Draft tab in the LitCommerce eBay channel. Listings with missing information will be marked with the Missing Info status.



You can start filling in the required information by clicking on the title to open the listing details page. 



The listing details page in the eBay channel consists of the following tabs:


  • Product Identifier/Variations Identifier.
  • Title & Description.
  • Images.
  • Pricing/Variations.
  • Category.
  • Shipping.
  • Payment & Return.
  • Business Policies.


While the Product Identifier, Images, Pricing, and Variations tabs are imported directly from All Products, you must manually complete the remaining tabs to meet eBay’s requirements. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).



Category


  1. Select the Primary Category from eBay’s available options.


By default, LitCommerce uses the listing title to suggest a matching category. If the suggested category isn’t suitable, enter any keywords to find another one.



Alternatively, you can browse from the list of Categories. Ensure you select an end-leaf category.



For Variant Listings, enable Variation Enabled Only to find categories that eBay supports variants.



If you have the eBay category ID, enter the Category #: box to automatically populate the category.



The Secondary Category and eBay Store Categories are optional. Please note that adding a second category to any Listing will incur an Insertion Fee, even for free listings. Learn more about eBay fees.



  1. Once the Primary Category is selected, complete Item Specifics that populate below.



Shipping


Select the Shipping Service and fill in the cost. You can add additional shipping details for clearer information.


Create a shipping rate table or promotional shipping rule on eBay and select it in LitCommerce to customize shipping costs.



Refer to how to create a Shipping Rate Table and Promotional Shipping Rule on eBay.


LitCommerce only applies the information specified in the shipping tab/template directly to the Listings, without creating any new Template/Policies on your eBay store.


Payment & Return


Complete the Handling Time and the Item Location for your Listing.


Besides, you can specify if the Listing is available for return or subject to any tax payment.



Business Policies


To use this tab, your eBay store must be authorized by eBay. Once approved, you can create the Business Policies directly on eBay and return to LitCommerce to select them from the dropdown list.



If the Business Policies are applied, the Shipping and Payment & Return tab will be greyed out.


Step 3: Publish Draft listings on eBay


Once you have completed all the required information on the listing details page, you can save and publish the listing on eBay. Look at the bottom right corner and click on one of the buttons below:


  • Save & Publish: Save and publish all your changes immediately on eBay.
  • Save & Close: Save the changes as a draft on LitCommerce and exit the listing details page
  • Save Changes: Save the changes and stay on the page to continue editing.



To publish multiple Listings at once, navigate to the Draft tab on the eBay channel, choose the listings, and then select the action Publish to eBay.



Once the listings are published successfully on eBay, they will be transferred from the Draft to the Active tab.



Otherwise, LitCommerce will display the errors from eBay on the listing details page and they must be corrected to proceed with the publication.
