Publish your product on eBay

Once you have published your product on eBay , you can go into the details of the publication to fix or modify some information.

To change the information, click the “Detail” button on the eBay publication box.

What information can I change in eBay posting?

You can edit the following information:

  1. Title and subtitle of the advertisement

  2. Descriptions (1)

  3. Selling price

  4. Sales Price Percentage (Sales Percentage of Price on Poleepo)

  5. Set a discount (as a percentage or fixed price)

  6. Shipping rule used

  7. Domestic shipping table

  8. International Shipping Chart

  9. Warranty duration and item condition

  10. Return management, refunds, replacement and return policies

1. On eBay there is only one description field. If you have defined a template in the eBay configuration, it will be used to build the description when the product is published. Otherwise, if the template is not defined, or you have deactivated it, the two descriptions will be concatenated to ensure that all the information available is published.

2. Shipping cost for each publication, if not entered, the shipping cost configured in the "Sales channels > Stores" section will be used

3. Maximum number of days the item is shipped


Attributes in the Mandatory/Recommended category

Item specifics

For some categories, eBay requires specifications for the product, i.e. attributes .
These attributes change based on the category chosen and can be mandatory or recommended.

If the category in which you published the product requires these specifications, the fields for insertion will be present in the details of your publication. By clicking on the attribute box, a drop-down menu will open that will allow you to choose one of the items recommended by eBay. If the menu is empty, or if you want to choose a different value from the one suggested, just write the specification you prefer in the field.

Attribute management for products with variants

In some cases of products with variants, the name of the specification (recommended or mandatory) could be the same as the name of the attribute of the variant you have chosen, making the eBay publication in error. In this case, just go to the detail of the eBay publication, under the variants heading, and remap the name of the existing attribute with a different one. In this way you will send a different name to eBay, without changing the variant attribute for all other sales channels. For more information, follow this guide by going to the " eBay " section .

Publication of products on eBay, attribute and variant mapping

Once you have chosen the new attribute of the variant you want to send to eBay, you will have to choose whether to apply this change only to the product in question (by clicking on the "SAVE" button) or whether to apply the changes to the entire category to which that particular product belongs (by clicking on the “APPLY TO ALL CATEGORY” button).
