Create and Send an Item via the Lister
The Lister is a tool built on ageing technology that prevents us from providing technical support to our users. This situation forces us to discontinue the download and update of the tool. In the long term, it will no longer be possible for you to list your items via the Lister..
However, we want to enable our Lister users to keep on bulk listing their items via a CSV or Excel file.
To this end, we have created a new selling tool: Easy Uploader.
This new selling tool allows former Lister users to export their files and import them directly into Easy Uploader without having to edit them.
For more information, please read this article:"How do I use my Lister files in Easy Uploader?"
This article covers the following subjects:

The steps to create an item
Category
For each new item, you need to choose the collection category.
To do this:
-
Choose the collection category for your item.
Hint: When you choose a category, try to be as precise as possible. This increases your chance of selling.
Description
During this step, you need to choose a title and description for your item. This is a key part of your advert and is an opportunity to attract customers’ attention. Be clear and concise, and put yourself in the position of your customers.
If you wish, you can add a personal reference to help organize your items.
Images
This step speaks for itself: add images to your item. You can add up to 99 images for free. This part of your advert is at least as important as the title and description. Choose high-quality images which spark curiosity for your customers.
To do this:
-
Click
-
Choose the images you want to add
The website accepts the following image formats (maximum size recommended): 2Mb) :gif, jpg, jpeg, pjpeg, x-png, png, bmp, x-ms-bmp, tiff.
You can change the image order or even delete them using the icons on the right.
End of sale
After this step, you can choose the type of sale, the duration and number of sale renewals:
-
Specify if you would like to sell the item at a fixed price or auction it. Depending on your choice, you need to choose a sale price and the amount available, or a starting price and the minimum auction increment.
-
Choose the sale duration: 7, 10, 14, 21 or 28 days.
-
Specify the sale end time.
Warning: the end time influences the sale duration. e.g.: If you list an item for sale on Wednesday at 15:15 for a period of 7 days and you choose 18:00 as the end time, the sale will finish the following Wednesday at 18:00 (7 days and 2hrs 45 minutes).
-
Choose how many times you would like to renew the sale. e.g.: if you choose 5 renewals and your item is not sold during the initial sale period, it will renew at the end of each period up to a maximum of 5 times.
- If you wish to you can specify a specific end day. e.g.: If you would like to ensure that your items for sale are seen on a Monday, you can schedule your adverts to always end on a Sunday. To do this simply select the day in the drop-down menu.
Note: The sale end date will be the day specified by this figure and the renewal duration
Fee templates
In this step, you select whether the object should be associated to a fee model or to your text fees.
If you choose "fee templates":
- Select he template to be associated with the sale in the drop-down menu.
- Optionally specify the weight of the item (if a weight-based model is associated with it).
In order to list all the existing templates in your account, the Lister must retrieve them. If you have made changes to the titles of your on-site templates or if you have created a new template, it is essential to update the Lister. In order to do so:
-
Click on
- Click on the "update" button
- Wait until the blue wheel disappears
- Click on"OK"
If this has not been done and you try to send an item by linking it to a template that no longer exists in your account, you will see an error message and the item will not be sent.
Options (optional)
Do you have items you would like to highlight? Add sale options to your advert. To do this, simply check the box next to the option you would like to apply.
The options will be applied during the initial sale period and will then be deactivated. If you would like to keep these options for each renewal, check the option:
Note: if you check this box, you will be charged for this option at each renewal.
