Listing Templates Tab
Instead of manually typing in what you want eBay to say for each item of your inventory, you can create templates that do the work for you. To create a new template:
- click the add button in the bottom left, indicated by a green "plus" sign.
- this will bring up a pop-up menu where you can customize your template. Here, you can use "Tags" which take info from your inventory items in ITrack and use them to create a description for eBay.
- for example, if you entered: {?Make} {?Model} into the title text field, and the item you listed was a Chevy Astro, then the title of the item on your eBay account would be Chevy Astro.
For more info on using Tags, see the eBay templates page.
- All templates are associated with one or multiple parts. If you create a template associated with a specific part, and later you add that type part to eBay using the Parts Listing tab, it will use your template to create the part's description.
