ebay business ideas
Then now we have the ability to remember templates, so details you previously listed on a specific category will load up if you select the checkbox on the category selection window:
And finally now the Listing ID appears with a link at the end of the listing process, so you won't have to go to see your listing report to see your listings.
On the next screen you will get to choose a marketplace to list items to, currently is only eBay, so you can click Next.
Here you will see the an overview of the items you want to list, click on the Edit link to open up the details window.
The details window is divided on 2 sections, in the panel on the left you can type in a name (you can leave the same name or change it, this won’t affect the mapping to your Office Accouting item), subtitle (The green $ means that you’ll get charged extra if you want to use that additional feature, the * means that is a required field), select a Category where your item fits in, type in a description (this field gets also pulled from your item description on Office Accounting and supports HTML), a starting price and a quantity. You can optionally upload images to your product listing.
Note that the screenshot above shows the listing type as Fixed Price, as I mentioned on the previous post, you will need to setup your eBay account to support Fixed Price/Buy it now if you want to use this feature.
On the right side of the screen you’ll see several tabs, we’ll go one by one.
The first tab is the Shipping and taxes tab, here you select what shipping options you want to offer to your customers, this is a completely optional tab.
The second tab is the Locations tab, here the only required field is the location of your item, you can type anything it, usually the city and/or state your item is in; you can also select what destinations you are willing to ship to.
The third tab is the Payment tab, in this tab you can choose what types of payments you want to accept, if you setup a Paypal account (see my previous post on how to setup online sales), this is where you put it in.
And the last tab are upgrades you can do to your listing, these are a wide range of offerings from eBay, checkout this page to see some examples:
Finally click on Save to go back to the listing details page, if you filled in all the required fields you will see that the icon of the status changes from Needs detail to Ready for listing.
