Publish Drafts

1 min read

The Publish Drafts popup puts all drafts selected in the Drafts page on sale on eBay right away, each one in its eBay store.

Before you start

  • Select the drafts, or use Select All to take all drafts found by search and filters (Select several drafts).
  • The eBay stores of the drafts must be connected (eBay Stores).

Publishing several drafts

  1. Click Publish Drafts in the bottom bar.
  2. The popup shows "Are you sure you want to publish the selected drafts on eBay? This action cannot be undone.".
  3. If you want, tick Ignore all warnings and publish the drafts.
  4. Click Publish Drafts.

With View Variants as Groups on, a selected group becomes a single listing; if it is off, each variant becomes a separate listing.

Ignore all warnings and publish the drafts.

Without this tick the publication of a draft 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 drafts are published anyway: use it only if you are sure eBay accepts the products.

What happens next

"The publication of the selected drafts has been started successfully." appears and the popup closes. Publication runs in the background: the rows show the progress instead of the green button and can't be opened. Published drafts disappear from Drafts and become listings in the Inventory page.

For a single draft there is Publish Draft; to publish at a future date use Schedule Publication.
