Overview
Editing a Group of Listings allows you to centrally manage the variants of a product published on eBay. Compared to a single listing, this mode introduces specific rules for managing main information, variants, and their configuration sections. This guide details the differences, access methods, and available features.
Differences Compared to Editing a Single Listing
Editing a listing with variants is similar to editing a Single Listing, but it has some fundamental differences:
- The Main Listing acts as the "cover" of the product page on eBay. In this section, only non-price-related information can be modified.
- The Product Variants represent the individual products that make up the listing.
How to Edit a Group of Listings
To access the editing of a listing, click on the yellow pencil-shaped icon next to the desired draft. A pop-up will open allowing you to update the listing details.
"Variant Group" Section
This section collects the main fields of the Main Listing ("cover"), allowing you to update its most important aspects.
| Field | Editable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Title | ✅ | Listing title on eBay (max 80 characters). |
| eBay Account | ✅ | eBay account to publish on. If only one account is present, it is automatically selected. |
| Description | ✅ | Product description, displayed on eBay with HTML template. |
| Category | ✅ | eBay category. If left empty, it will be calculated automatically. |
| Country Location | ❌ | Region of the draft creation. Not editable after creation. |
| Brand | ✅ | Product brand. |
| SKU | ❌ | Unique code that identifies the product (SKU). |
| Warehouse Location | ❌ | Warehouse city. Not editable. |
| Shipping Time | ❌ | Shipping times calculated based on the supplier. |
"Template" Section
In this section, you can select the graphic template to apply to the listing.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Template | Select a created or imported template. |
"Specifications" Section
Allows you to view and edit the product specifications imported from the supplier. It is recommended not to alter the original values, as they represent the official information.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Specifications | View and edit the specifications imported from the supplier. |
"Analytics" Section
Allows you to monitor the performance of the listing through two charts:
- Monthly Views: shows how many times the listing was opened each day.
- Monthly Impressions: indicates how many times the listing appeared in search results or among recommended products on eBay.
Differences from a Single Listing
In the Group of Listings edit popup, the Images section is missing:
- The images section is not present because the listing published on eBay will use part of the images from each individual variant. This way, when a customer selects a variant on eBay, they will directly see the corresponding image.
Conclusion
Managing a Group of Listings allows you to optimize and centralize the main information of a product with variants, improving organization and control of the listings.
This mode ensures consistency across variants and simplifies the update process, offering analytical tools and dedicated sections to keep listings always up to date and effective.
