List Products on eBay
After successfully connecting to your Main Store and sale channels, LitCommerce will automatically import products from your main store website to the “All products” tab. In this article, we will show you step-by-step instructions on how to list your products on eBay.
First of all, you need to create a new draft listing. Please look at the left sidebar menu and navigate to All products.
Now, tick the corresponding checkbox in front of the products you want to list on eBay and select action List products on Channel.
A popup will appear, please choose eBay and click Add as draft now.
All product data will be copied into draft listings, and from that point, listings data will be maintained separately from the original main store products.
Price, Inventory modification can be automatically applied to listings if configured in Channels settings.
Other field modifications can be automatically applied to listings using Default Templates
After that, there is a notification that Products have been added to the Draft section in the channel. Please go to the tab Draft on the eBay channel on LitCommerce to find the new listing.
At this step, the listing has not been published in your eBay store yet. Now it’s time to customize your listing information before going live.
Please navigate to the left sidebar menu, and find your eBay channel.
If you want to edit your listings in Single Edit Mode, you can click on the listing title. An editing page will appear on the screen, including these tabs: Product Identifiers, Title & Description, Image, Pricing, Category, Shipping, Payment & Return, and Business Policies.
Before publishing your listing to the eBay site, you’ll need to fill in some missing information (which eBay requires but does not exist on product information on the main store yet). There will be an error message along with a red warning symbol (!) to let you know which tab is missing information. The required field will have a red asterisk symbol (*) next to it.
You can also edit information in other fields within the listing as you want.
In case you want to edit listings in Multi-Edit Mode, you can use our Quick Grid feature, which is quicker and easier to use than manual editing.
Please find more details about LitCommerce QuickGrid Features here.
Please note that LitCommerce QuickGrid is only available for premium plans. Once you can access to this feature, you can edit listings in bulk to save you even more time and effort.
LitCommerce also allows you to use eBay templates and recipes to edit multiple listings at once. Please find more information on how to create eBay templates & recipes here.
If you already have an eBay template/recipe, select the listings you want to apply, then click the box Apply a Template and choose the appropriate option.
To publish a new listing to the eBay store, you can choose one of the following ways:
To publish one listing, click Save & Publish to eBay inside the listing editting page.
To publish multiple listings, select the listings you want to publish to the eBay store, and choose action Publish to eBay.
Then, your listing will be transferred from the Draft tab to the Active tab correspondingly.
To save all your changes to the listing, 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 - Your listing will be saved as a draft on Litcommerce with all your changes.
Save Change - Save your changes but stay on the page to continue editing.
If you happen to save without publishing your change, you can still go live with all those changes later. Simply navigate to the Active box on your eBay listing page, select your listings then select action Update to eBay.
