Publish Draft

The Publish Draft popup puts the draft of the row on sale on eBay right away, as a listing of its eBay store.

Before you start

• Check price, quantity, category and images of the draft (Edit a draft).
• The draft's eBay store must be connected (eBay Stores).

Publishing a draft

1. In the Drafts page click the green Publish button on the row.
2. The popup shows "Are you sure you want to publish this draft on eBay?".
3. If you want, tick Ignore all warnings and publish the draft.
4. Click Publish Draft.

For a group with variants the button is on the group row and publishes all variants in a single listing; single variants have no Publish button.

Ignore all warnings and publish the draft.

Without this tick the publication stops if:

• the product has a restriction (eBay violation);
• the draft is out of stock (for a group, if all variants are out of stock);
• title, description or item specifics contain a word of the store's Keyword Blacklist with the Block action.

With the tick the draft is published anyway: use it only if you are sure eBay accepts the product.

What happens next

"The draft publication has been started successfully." appears and the popup closes. Publication runs in the background: on the row, the green button is replaced by the progress and the row can't be opened. When it succeeds, the draft disappears from Drafts and becomes a listing in the Inventory page.

To publish several drafts together use Publish Drafts; to publish at a future date use Schedule Publication or the Other section of the draft popup.
