1.2. Listing Generator: Action Bar

To save your listing, click on the Save button menu shown in the action bar, then type a short name for your listing draft and click on the Save button within the menu. If you are editing an existing listing draft, you will also see a Save as New button in the menu. When working on a draft, clicking the Save button will overwrite that draft (even if you change the name). If you wish to make a new draft out of your edits, you should click on the Save as New button, to save a copy of the draft (but keep your original intact).

 

Although not required, we highly recommend saving drafts of your listings. If you don't have time to finish a listing in one sitting, you can always continue your work by loading the draft from the Saved Listing Drafts page.

To view the generated listing description, click on the Preview button shown in the action bar, and the Listing Preview window will open. To close this window, simply click on the Close button.

 

We suggest checking the Preview before choosing to Save, get Code, or Prepare to Launch, to get a feel for what your listing looks like. 

If you are not listing to eBay US, AU, CA, UK, eBay Motors US or Bonanza, you will need to get the HTML code for your listing description. To do this, click on the Code button. A pop-in window will open, and you will be able to copy your HTML code.

 

If you are listing to eBay US, AU, CA, UK, eBay Motors US or Bonanza, you should not need to get code, as our system supports directly posting listings to those sites. Simply click on the Prepare to Launch button, and you will be brought to the Listing Launcher form. In the Listing Launcher, you may fill out your information to either launch your listing immediately or schedule it for later. For more information on how to launch a listing using the Listing Launcher, please check our Listing Launcher Knowledge Book.
