eBay Product Listing Template

  • eBay LINK comes with a default listing template. The set up wizard steps you through adding information to the template such as:
    • About Us - what does the customer want to know about your business? Why should they buy from you?
    • Shipping - how do you ship your products? What options do you provide - standard? express? handling time? 
    • Returns - explain your policy on returning an item. What will you accept? What won't you accept? When do you have to return by?
    • Payment - simply add 'We accept PayPal' here
  • Most of this information should be available on your own eCommerce website so feel free to copy and paste and adjust for eBay best practice. Please do not add any contact details as this is against eBay policy. More information about best practice for filling out this template can be found at this link.
  • You can change the content of this anytime after you've completed the set up wizard by going to 'Settings - eBay Australia - Product Listing Template'


eBay Product Listing Template - Logo

  • You will need to add your Logo to the template. Your Logo URL must be HTTPS, if it is http only eBay will remove or stop the listing of your products, example https://yourstoredomain.com/content/uploads/yourimage.jpg 
  • It must be provided in a URL that anyone can see publicly in a browser and we recommend that the dimensions are no wider than 900px by 400px long.
  • You can often get a Logo URL if you hover on the logo on your homepage and right click to copy the link
  • You can also upload your logo to a product that is not visible in your ecommerce store to create a Logo URL



Shipping

  • You will create a default shipping option here during the set up wizard
  • You can change the shipping at any time by going to 'Settings - eBay Australia - Shipping' 
  • After the wizard finishes you can also set up calculated shipping, weight based shipping and different policies for different groups of products.

If you get to the Dashboard and their is a Product Sync in progress, just wait for it to complete. If you have 100 products, it will take around 20 minutes. If you have over a 1000 it may take an hour or two. It is progressing though.


Note: If you have more than 10,000 products it can take a day. If you have that many products please contact us so that we can look at the timing and frequency of the syncs with your store.
