How Do I List My Items On eBay? | Shift4Shop External

List My Items On eBay

You should now have API Access to eBay, your store's Global eBay Settings configured, and at least one eBay Listing Template created. The next step is to list your desired items on eBay.

To list your products, please use the following steps.

From your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager:

Use the left navigation menu and go to Products > Product List.
Locate the product that you'd like to list and click on its thumbnail, ID, or name to open it up.

3. In the product's "Information" tab, scroll down to the new "eBay Listing" section located right above the Extended Description.

4. Click on the button labeled List on eBay to proceed.
(Note: You can also use the Batch action menu from the Product List to select multiple items and select List on eBay)

Additional Information: In the eBay Listing section, you will see a section labeled "Active Listings" along with a numbered link that will take you to the eBay Listing manager (filtered automatically) for the product if it is already listed.

You will also see a drop-down for the "HTML Listing template" used for the product's eBay listing.

This HTML listing template is not to be confused with the eBay listing template created in the previous portion of this article. That particular "template" contains the variables your store will use for the product listing's buying options on eBay, like starting bid price, category, shipping methods, etc.

The HTML Listing template in the dropdown menu here is for the Style and display of the product below the buying options on eBay.

By default, your store will have an HTML template created for you, and it will be shown in the drop-down as "Style 1." This style correlates directly to a new HTML template in your common-html5 folder called "listing_ebay_0.html." (FTP path: "/web/assets/templates/common-html5")

However, if you'd like to create your own styles for the display of the listing, you can create your own template and name it "listing_ebay_x.html" where "x" is a number other than 0. Then, when you upload the new template to your specific Theme folder (via FTP), you will see it in the drop-down as "Style 2" or "Style 3" accordingly.

Once you click on the "List on eBay" button, a popup window will come up and you can proceed with the next steps:

To continue:

5. Select the Settings template (from the Store Modules section) that this product will use.

The system will give you a brief summary of the settings configured on the Listing Template (from Modules)

6. Click on the Product Information tab at the top of the window to continue.

7. Schedule a date and time for the listing to begin (or click Execute it Now to begin it immediately).

8. After setting the Schedule for the listing, review the item's Title and Sub Title as needed.

9. Under Quantity, set the number of units you want to list on eBay.

10. Review the rest of the information on the item, such as price, dimensions, etc.

11. When ready to proceed, click on Preview Fees From eBay to review the applicable fees from eBay for the item's listing.

12. When you're ready to post the item, click Finish at the bottom.

Congratulations! Your item is now listed on eBay!

You may now repeat the process for the rest of your items as needed.
