Get started listing on eBay

Learn how to use the data from your other market listings to create new eBay listings, avoiding common pitfalls

To begin, it is essential to ensure that your eBay seller account and eBay integration settings are correctly configured. Neglecting to do so may prevent your listings from going live.

Are you new to eBay?

eBay imposes selling limits on all sellers, including new users. These limits can be quite stringent for those who are new to the platform. Learn more

We offer you methods to bypass these limits by restricting the quantity sent. No matter how much quantity you have, we will always send eBay the exact number you provide until you are below that number.

All Listings

  1. From the Integrations tab, click Manage Integrations.
  2. Click any eBay channel, followed by the Inventory tab.
  3. In the Max Quantity field, input a number that reflects your limits.

You'll have to decide what works best for your business. If you're brand-new, we suggest limiting it to one.

Individual Listings

  1. From the Manage Listings page, search for your listing.
  2. Click the eBay Market Listing for the desired listing.
  3. On the Listings tab, locate the Max Quantity field, and input a number.

Common Pitfall: Create and assign eBay business policies

To comply with eBay's requirements, all users must set up shipping options for their eBay listings. A convenient method to accomplish this is by utilizing business policies on eBay. By creating payment, shipping, and return profiles on eBay, you can easily import them into Listing Mirror. Learn more

If you're new to eBay, you will need to create these policies before you begin. However, if you're already an established eBay user, you may already have these policies created.

Set Default Policies
