Revising and Relisting

As a Selling Manager Pro user, you will find that revising and relisting your listings is different from using Selling Manager. These differences involve Selling Manager Pro's additional features of automation rules, default description footers, tracking inventory quantity, and products and listing templates.

Automation Rules

Using the automation rules feature, you can set up listing templates to list and relist products automatically.

Using default description footers

  • Selling Manager Pro enables you to create and store default description footers (a standard
    return policy or packaging method, for example). You can add them to the end of your item description whenever you list an item. To add default description footers, see eBay
    Preferences.

  • When you revise or relist an item, the description footer from your original item description is included automatically in the description. If you select the option to add a default footer, and already have a default footer in your original item, the footer will be appended to your
    description and you will have two copies of your footer information.

    Tip: To create a different Default Description Footer to your revised listing, delete
    the old default description footer manually from the Description field on the Revise Your Item: Describe Your Item page, and select the "Default Description Footer" tick box.

Using tracking inventory quantity

If you selected the Selling Manager Pro to track the quantity of a product, and you revise the
quantity of the listing, you will be notified on the Revise Your Item: Review & Submit Listing
page if your revised quantity exceeds the product's available to list quantity. You will be provided
with a link to update your quantity.

Using listing templates

  • If you are revising or relisting a product with a listing template:

    The Review and Submit page shows the following options:

  • Submit Only - Selecting this option does not save the changes that you made to your listing template but continues tracking it with the listing template's success ratio.

  • Save edits to my current Selling Manager Pro listing template - Selecting this option saves the changes that you made to your listing template and continues tracking it with the listing template's success ratio.

  • Save edits to a new Seller Manager Pro listing template - Selecting this option creates a new template and tracks this item with the new template's success ratio.

  • If you are revising or relisting a product whose listing template no longer exists, only two options appear:

  • Submit Only - Selecting this option submits the listing without saving any of the changes to a template.

  • Save edits to a new listing - Selecting this option creates a new template and tracks this item with the new template's success ratio.

  • If you are revising or relisting an item that is not associated with a product, the Promote and Review Your Listing page will be identical to the regular one for non-Selling Manager Pro users. Once you create a product, either in Selling Manager Pro or the Sell Your Item form, you can then use the details in Sell Your Item or create a listing template based on that product.

Limitations on number of products and templates

A product cannot have more than 20 associated listing templates. Before you attempt to save a revised listing as a new listing template, be sure that you have fewer than 20 listing templates associated with your product. If you attempt to save a revised listing as a 21st template, your listing will be revised, but your listing template will not be saved.
