Sell on eBay: start here

eBay lives under Marketplaces in the left menu. If it shows greyed out with a Soon tag, email support@2adata.com and we will turn it on for your store.

Every eBay page has the same tabs across the top:

• Settings: connect your eBay account and choose how you sell. See Set up eBay: the Settings tab.
• Catalog: everything your store can sell on eBay right now. See Pick what goes on eBay: the Catalog tab.
• Active Listings: what you activated, waiting to go up or live on eBay. See Manage your eBay listings: change prices, end, relist.
• Sales: every eBay sale and the order it became. See eBay sales in your Orders: the Sales tab.
• Listing Rules: pick items for eBay automatically. See List items automatically: Listing Rules.
• Activity: what went up, changed, waited, failed or ended, and who did it. Filter it with Listed, Updated, Ended, Failed, Waiting, Activated, Excluded and Changed, or search by title, SKU or message. It keeps 180 days.

The two chips at the top right show whether Selling and Automatic sync are on. Click What's new beside the version to see what each update added.

What eBay never gets

eBay is not a firearms marketplace. Anything that needs an FFL, ammunition and reloading components, hazmat, magazines over 10 rounds, gun parts, muzzle devices, and weapon lights and lasers never show anywhere on the eBay pages, so you cannot list them by mistake.

How the eBay price works

The eBay price starts from your website price with eBay's fee added, so eBay's fee does not come out of your price. The eBay pays you column shows what you get after eBay's fees. A price never goes under MAP, and never under what covers your cost after eBay's fees. You set the fee and any markup in Settings step 6.

When an item stops short of eBay, see Why is my eBay item waiting?
