Be sure to check out eBay’s new listing tools to help you get your inventory listed onto eBay more quickly and efficiently. The first tool is Pre-Filled Information through our new Event Catalog functionality. Catalog is an optional listing method that enables increased listing speed by pre-filling Item Specifics information when sellers enter a unique combination of event name, venue and/or date, and can automatically generate the venue map as the stock photo in the listing. This feature is available when listing through the traditional eBay Sell Your Item method, as well through current eBay bulk listing tools and the eBay API. You can also list via the “standard” method in Sell Your Item, but be sure to give the catalog functionality a try.

The addition of a Tickets template to the existing File Exchange offering significantly improves bulk listing capability in Tickets. File Exchange allows sellers to interact directly with eBay through a flat file that can be created from an MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access, or other inventory software.

Before using File Exchange, be sure to take the File Exchange Tour, read Frequently Asked Questions, review the File Exchange User Guide.
