Listing an Item from your Online Storefront on eBay

To sell a product or service on eBay, you "list" the item. Quick Shopping Cart makes it easy to prepare all the necessary listing information and then helps you submit it to eBay.

eBay offers a number of services designed to help you better present your items. Some of these services are fee-based and can add to the listing fee. Services that incur an additional fee are noted on the page.

To List an Item on eBay

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Quick Shopping Cart.
3. In the Quick Shopping Cart list, click Open next to the Quick Shopping Cart account you want to use.
4. Using the Advanced Builder, from the Catalog menu, select eBay Auction Manager.
5. From the Tasks menu, select List Item on eBay.
6. In the Title, Category & Description section, complete the following:

   Auction Type

   Select either Online auction (if you want shoppers to bid for the item) or Fixed-Price auction (if you want to set the selling price for your items). Fixed-Price auctions are subject to eligibility requirements. For more information on Fixed-Price auctions, see Listing as Fixed-Price Auctions.

   Part Number

   Select the part number you created for this item when you first entered the product into your catalog.

   Item Title

   Enter a title for your item listing.

   Buy It Now Price (Incurs Fee)

   (Optional) Enter a Buy It Now price for the auction. The Buy It Now price is the price for which you are willing to immediately sell the item. If a bidder agrees to your Buy It Now price before any other bids are placed, the auction ends and the bidder wins the auction.
