Some categories such as Books, Digital Cameras, and Mobile Phones contain items that are associated with products in our growing catalogue. If you’re listing in this type of category, you can easily add pre-filled information and a picture from our catalogue. This makes it easier for buyers to find your listing in search results.

Products in our catalogue have unique identifiers such as an ISBN for a book, UPC for DVDs and video games, and manufacturer part numbers for MP3 players.  As you're listing your item, after you “Select a category”, you'll be asked to “Find a product” that matches the item you’re selling. Enter a relevant product identifier such as those shown below. You’ll get a list of products to choose from and the option of adding a pre-filled description to your listing.

If you enter one of these identifiers into the Search box, but don't find the product you're selling, you can try these options:

• Verify the spelling or the number of the identifier.

• The product may not be in our catalogue. To add it to our catalogue, click Add it to our catalogue and fill out the form.

Occasionally, you may find that some information is missing or wrong (for example, the Release Year is incorrect). Please let us know if you see anything like this. To report an error, click the “Report an error” link on the “Review product details” page, fill in the correct information, and click Submit.

Product Condition

The pre-filled information doesn’t cover product condition.

Because product condition is one of the top purchasing criteria for eBay buyers, be sure to provide the product's condition using Item Specifics.
