Selling templates

If you're a frequent eBay seller, you can simplify how you create high-quality listings with reusable templates.

With listing templates, you no longer have to start from scratch every time you list an item. They also help ensure that you give buyers consistent information across all your listings. Once you have set up a template, it's easy to revise, rename, or delete it, if you need to make a change.

How to create selling templates

You can create reusable listing templates from Seller Hub - opens in new window or tab.

Creating templates in Seller Hub

To create a template:

  1. Go to Listing templates - opens in new window or tab and choose Create new template.
  2. Give your template a name, so you'll remember the type of item it covers.
  3. Add in the rest of your listing details.
  4. Preview or Save the template.

You can create up to 50 different templates.

To create a listing from your template:

  1. Go to Listing templates - opens in new window or tab in Seller Hub.
  2. Select Create listing from the Actions dropdown menu.
  3. Create your listing.

From the Actions dropdown you can also edit, delete, and copy your template.

You can also create templates from active or pending listings:

  1. From the Scheduled or Active view, select the listings you want to save as templates. You can save as many as 20 at once.
  2. Select Save to Inventory.
  3. Enter a product name and template name.
  4. Select Product Folder if you want to save in a folder.
  5. To save the template and create a product, select Save to Inventory. Now you'll see the new product and template in Inventory view.

Listing templates allow you to give your buyers more consistent information across all the items you have for sale, as well as making it easy for you to manage your listings.
