Setting up the EBay Configuration Screen

EBay Account

This is used to hook up an EBay account to ITrack. By hitting the ebay sync button will start an ebay authentication process in a web browser. Completing the authentication process will give ITrack permissions to view your ebay account's past listings as well as post new listings onto that account. This can be changed at any time, but it will not clear the auctions that ITrack has already marked as significant and stored, it will only change which account it pulls and sends auctions to and from.

Image Hosts

Selecting one of these will tell ITrack where to pull your pictures from. Unfortunately EBay only allows one externally hosted picture to be associated with each item so that picture will be assigned as the listing's cover photo. You can still put as many externally hosted images in the description of a listing (see [Templates] for more info). When using direct to EBay only our own websites are currently supported hosts but the EBay option can be used when using other listing software such as TurboLister.

Default Listing Options

In this section you can set the defaults you want for most of the listings that will be exported from ITrack. The Listing duration and Condition that are selected should be the one that will apply to most of your listings. The Payment Method list here should reflect what your company will accept and support as payments through EBay (Reminder: one electronic payment method is required to list on ebay). If you chose PayPal as an accepted payment method then the PayPal Email edit should be filled out with a valid email associated with a valid PayPal account. We do not verify or validate PayPal account information.
