To add an eBay listing rule

You can create rules for listing your inventory on eBay on the Settings tab under eBay Listing Rules.

Description

When you create a listing rule, you define an inventory group, enter a maximum number of listings, designate a listing strategy, and set the rule's priority. Optionally, you can also set an FBA reserve quantity.

On the Settings tab, under eBay, click Listing Rules, and then click Add Listing Rule.
Click the Expand button for each set of criteria, select the criteria that define your inventory group, and then click OK.

In the rule summary, click in the Maximum Concurrent Listings box, and then type the maximum number of SKUs you want to list on eBay at any one time under the listing rule.

Tip Because eBay charges for every listing, when you first create or make changes to a listing rule, limit your maximum concurrent listings to a small number. After your items list, review your listings to be certain you are satisfied with how they look before increasing your number of maximum concurrent listings.

Select an eBay US or eBay UK listing strategy.

Note You can determine whether the total number of SKUs that meet a rule's criteria is greater or less than the number of maximum concurrent listings by clicking Display Item Count. The number that displays is a count of all SKUs, both listed and not listed, that meet the rule's criteria. To get an accurate count of SKUs, make sure that your most specific rule is at the top and that each listing rule is unique, so that no SKUs meet the criteria of more than one listing rule.

(Optional) If you sell FBA items on eBay, you can click in the Reserve FBA Qty box and type the quantity you want to hold back from listing on eBay. This quantity is held back for each SKU in the inventory group.

Typically, you set an FBA reserve quantity for fast selling items when you want to make sure that you don't sell out of an item on Amazon at the same time that customers try to purchase the item on eBay (a multi-channel fulfillment market). When you set an FBA reserve quantity, Monsoon Marketplace subtracts that number from your available FBA quantity and lists the balance on eBay up to your maximum listing limit. For example, let's say that an FBA item has a quantity of 25. If the item's listing rule has an FBA reserve quantity of 5, Monsoon Marketplace will only list 20 on eBay, reserving 5 for Amazon orders.

Click OK.
