1 The default feed created by the Ebay Product Mash is for a 10 day fixed priced UK based item (of quantitiy 1). You can change these if you have an Ebay shop (to GTC).
2 You should then set-up the other default information, which is:
Location - City/State
Accept PayPal (and PayPal Email Address)
3 Add in any extra options that are specific to your needs (e.g. Counter).
4 Add in the Ebay category. You can check what the Ebay categories are at the following link: http://listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/overview.html. If your products are are in more than category you will have to 1 of the following approaches:
. Use the product's section title (see the Product Mash: How do I use my section title in my feeds? article)
. Use information in the product's title (see the Product Mash: Use Manufacturer (or Brand) from product's title article).
. Use a custom variable at a product or section level. For more information see either the Product Mash: V7: How to use User Defined Properties or Product Mash: V8: How to use User Defined Properties articles on how to setup custom variables.
5 Create your feed file from the Product Mash
6 Import the created feed file into Turbo Lister (using File->Import Items->From File).
To get these ready to upload to Ebay you should set-up the Basic settings. For more detailed listings use Advanced settings and Additional Information.
Basic settings
You can now set any standard information for groups (or all) of the items. Turbo Lister allows you to edit multiple items and amend a value that will be applied to all of the selected items. This is useful for entering standard terms and conditions etc.. For example, to use your Actinic shipping model, select Sellers Standard Rate in the Postage Options. In the Instructions and Policies section Edit the Additional Information text. You can then enter your postage costs and any other terms and conditions that you want to include.
Advanced settings
If you want to include your items in more than 1 Ebay category you should enter the value for Category 2. You can define this as a fixed value or custom var (in a similar way to Category 1)
Additional information
Images
All the images are referenced from your Actinic site. For this reason you should check to see what the the image size is, as Ebay won't resize your image in the main listing (i.e. it could be too large). This approach also allows you to include extra images for no extra cost if they are referenced from your description. If you want Ebay to host your images you should add a CustomVar to your products that reference a local file. This will then be uploaded to Ebay when you upload your listings.
Giving all items a style similar to your Actinic shop (or adding your logos etc.).
This is acheived by amending all the descriptions to include HTML around your descriptions. This can include links to your logos etc. and your standard text used on your site. To do this use the following approach:
1 Select all the items to give this appearance to.
2 Select Edit multiple items.
3 In the Pictures and Description area select Add to top of description.
4 In the description area paste in the start of the required HTML (you should remove the </body> and </html>. NOTE: It does not matter that you will remove the (Multiple Values) text.
5 Save the changes and close the Item.
6 Edit the same multiple items.
7 In the Pictures and Description area select Add to bottom of description.
8 Enter </body></html> after any additional information that you want to include after the item's description.
