How to Access the eBay Settings Page

  1. Log in to AccelerList.

  2. Click Settings on the left sidebar.

  3. Click the eBay tab at the top.



What You Can Configure on This Page

The eBay Settings page includes these main sections:

  • Policies

  • Locations

  • Product Listing

  • eBay Description & Condition Note

  • eBay Pricing Rules

1. Policies

This section controls which eBay business policies will be used for your listings.

Fulfillment

This dropdown lets you choose your eBay fulfillment/shipping policy.

What it does:

It controls how the item will be shipped to the buyer, including shipping service, shipping cost rules, and delivery options.

What to do:

Select the fulfillment policy you want eBay to use for your listings.


Payment

This dropdown lets you choose your eBay payment policy.

What it does:

It controls how payments are handled for your eBay listings.

What to do:

Select the payment policy that matches your eBay account settings.


Return

This dropdown lets you choose your eBay return policy.

What it does:

It controls whether buyers can return items and under what conditions.

What to do:

Select the return policy you want applied to your eBay listings.


2. Locations

This section controls the inventory location used for your eBay listings.

Merchant Location

This dropdown lets you choose your eBay merchant location.

Example shown:

  • AccelerList-Warehouse-1

What it does:

This tells eBay which merchant location should be attached to the listing.

What to do:

Select the correct merchant location connected to your eBay account.


3. Product Listing

This section controls how AccelerList handles crosslisted eBay items.

Mark FBA orders as shipped on eBay to prevent handling time expirations

When enabled, AccelerList will mark eBay orders as shipped once the corresponding Amazon FBA order is in process, helping prevent eBay handling time issues.

Why this matters:

This is useful for FBA-to-eBay workflows where Amazon fulfills the order and eBay needs shipment confirmation quickly.

Example shown:

  • Enabled


Select max handling time for eBay orders

This dropdown lets you choose the maximum handling time to use for your eBay orders.

Example shown:

  • 1 day

What it does:

It controls the handling time that will be applied to your eBay listings.

What to do:

Choose a handling time that matches your workflow and what you can realistically meet.


Auto-truncate product title when cross-listing

When enabled, AccelerList will automatically shorten long Amazon titles so they fit within eBay’s title length limit.

Why this matters:

Amazon titles are often longer than eBay allows, so this helps prevent title errors during crosslisting.


Auto-publish new crosslisting drafts

When enabled, new crosslisted items will be published automatically instead of being saved as drafts first.

Why this matters:

Turn this on if you want listings to go live immediately after crosslisting. Leave it off if you prefer to review drafts before publishing.

4. eBay Description & Condition Note

This section controls what text appears in your eBay listing description.

What appears in your eBay listing description?

You can choose between:

Amazon product description (default)

This uses the Amazon product description as the eBay listing description.

My condition note (replaces Amazon’s description)

This uses your condition note as the full eBay listing description instead of Amazon’s product description.

Why this matters:

This is especially useful for book sellers or used item sellers who want buyers to see the exact condition details rather than Amazon’s generic product copy.


Condition Note

This dropdown controls how AccelerList handles your condition notes for eBay.

Example shown:

  • Rewrite – Use custom instructions below

What it does:

This tells AccelerList to generate or rewrite the condition note using your selected format and instructions.


Custom Condition Note Instructions

This text box contains the instructions AccelerList will use to rewrite your condition notes for eBay listings.

Example shown:

The instructions tell the system to:

  • Keep only information that describes the item condition

  • Remove shipping or tracking references

  • Remove vague satisfaction statements

  • Remove references to Amazon marketplace or Amazon Prime

  • Keep the wording natural and readable

Why this matters:

This helps create cleaner, eBay-friendly listing descriptions and avoids references that do not belong on eBay listings.


5. eBay Pricing Rules

This section controls whether eBay prices should automatically adjust based on Amazon prices.

Enable automatic eBay pricing adjustments

When enabled, AccelerList will automatically adjust eBay prices based on your Amazon prices.

What it does:

It helps keep eBay pricing aligned with your Amazon listing price.

Why this matters:

This is useful if you want your eBay prices to stay updated automatically as your Amazon prices change.


How to Set Up eBay Settings Correctly

Step 1: Select your eBay policies

Choose your:

  • Fulfillment policy

  • Payment policy

  • Return policy

Make sure these match the policies already set up in your eBay account.


Step 2: Choose your merchant location

Select the correct Merchant Location for your eBay inventory.


Step 3: Configure product listing behavior

Decide whether you want to:

  • Mark FBA orders as shipped automatically

  • Use a specific handling time

  • Auto-truncate titles

  • Auto-publish crosslisted drafts


Step 4: Choose what should appear in your eBay description

Decide whether to use:

  • the Amazon product description, or

  • your condition note

If using condition notes, choose the rewrite option and review your custom instructions.


Step 5: Set up eBay pricing rules

Turn on automatic pricing adjustments if you want eBay prices to follow your Amazon pricing.


Recommended Setup Tips

  • Select the correct eBay business policies first before crosslisting

  • Use My condition note if you want cleaner, more seller-specific eBay descriptions

  • Enable Auto-truncate product title if your Amazon titles are often too long

  • Use Auto-publish only if you are comfortable skipping draft review

  • Keep handling time realistic to avoid late shipment issues

  • Enable automatic pricing only if you want eBay prices synced with Amazon pricing


Important Note

Your eBay listings depend on your eBay account having the correct:

  • policies

  • merchant locations

  • permissions

If any required field is blank or missing, crosslisting may fail or drafts may not publish correctly.


Short Summary

The eBay Settings page lets you control how your items are crosslisted, described, priced, and fulfilled on eBay. Setting these fields correctly helps ensure smoother listing creation and fewer eBay-related errors.
