List items on eBay from your sale (and what makes a listing go live)
If an item is worth more than local buyers will pay, put it on eBay too. FindA.Sale handles the title, photos, pricing, and listing details automatically. You add the shipping info. The listing goes live in about a minute.

Before you push anything: connect your eBay account
- Go to Settings → Integrations → eBay.
- Tap Connect eBay Account.
- Sign in to eBay and authorize FindA.Sale.
You only do this once. After that, any item in your sale can be pushed to eBay.

How to read the readiness indicator
Every item card in the review queue shows a colored left edge:
- Green: Ready on FindA.Sale. Title, price, photo, category, condition and description are all filled in.
- Blue: Ready to push to eBay. The item is complete and has a package weight, so shipping can be calculated.
- Yellow: Has the basics but is missing a category, a condition or a description.
- Red: Missing a title, a price above zero, or a photo.
An item can be green before it's blue. Green means it's ready for your FindA.Sale listing. Blue means it's also ready for eBay: the difference is usually just a package weight. If you see red, tap the item to find out what's missing.

Step 1. Choose where to push from
You can push from the review queue or from the item form.
- In the review queue, open the card's More details and tick Also push to eBay. When you tap Approve, the item is published and the push starts.
- Or open the item form (All details or Full Edit) and go to Where this is listed. The eBay buttons are there.
Shipping details live in the Shipping & package section of the item form, and under More details on a review card.
---
Step 2. Fill in shipping details
Your own weight and size give buyers exact shipping. If no weight is set, FindA.Sale estimates shipping for you when you publish.
If you're offering calculated shipping:
- Enter the package weight in ounces.
- Enter the package dimensions in inches: length, width, height.
- eBay uses these to calculate the exact shipping cost for each buyer's location.
If you're offering local pickup only:
- Check Local pickup only instead.
- No weight or dimensions needed.
You can offer both (calculated shipping and local pickup) at the same time.
Tip: capture weight, dimensions, and location with voice notes. During a photo session, tap the microphone and say something like "twelve ounces, eight by six by four inches, master bedroom bookshelf." The app automatically parses what you said and fills in the correct fields: no typing, no manual transfer. You can do this from the edit item page too, if you're filling in details after the sale is already set up.

Step 3. Push the item
Tap Push to eBay.
FindA.Sale sends to eBay:
- Title (from your item name)
- Description (from your item notes)
- Category (from what was tagged)
- Condition (New is New. Used grade A or B is Very Good, C is Good, D is Acceptable. Parts / Repair is For parts or not working. Refurbished follows its own eBay condition)
- All photos, in order
- Your asking price
- Your shipping policy, payment policy, and fulfillment settings (pulled from your eBay account defaults)
The listing appears in your eBay seller account within 60 seconds.
Before you push, you can tap Check eBay fees to see whether publishing would cost a real insertion fee. The check runs only when you tap it, not when you open the item.
After an item is on eBay, a normal save sends only the fields that really changed: title, description, condition, price, your In stock number and shipping. The line above Save says exactly what will go. Photos, category and best-offer settings are not sent by Save. Use Re-push to eBay for those.

What happens when it sells
If the item sells on eBay, FindA.Sale marks it sold automatically and removes it from your active sale listing. You won't accidentally sell it twice.
If it sells at your sale first (in-person or through FindA.Sale), the eBay listing is ended automatically. No manual action needed on either side.

Bonus: your items also show up on Google Shopping, automatically
eBay isn't the only place your shippable items get discovered. FindA.Sale also sends them to Google Shopping through an automatic product feed: no per-item work, no extra button to push.
Here's how it works:
- Once a sale is published, every shippable item in it is included in FindA.Sale's nightly product feed to Google.
- Those items can then appear in Google's free product listings when shoppers search Google for what you're selling.
- It happens on its own. You don't connect an account, fill in anything extra, or push items one at a time the way you do with eBay.
What's included: items from published sales that can ship: the same kind of items worth putting on eBay. The feed uses your item's title, photos, price, and condition, and works out a shipping estimate from the weight tiers you've already set up for eBay.
What's excluded: anything marked Local Pickup Only is left out of the Google feed: Google Shopping is for items a shopper can buy and have delivered, so pickup-only inventory doesn't belong there. Genuinely oversized or freight-only items are excluded too.
So the shipping details you enter for eBay do double duty: they make your items eligible for Google Shopping at the same time, with no extra steps.

Common errors and fixes
When eBay does not take an update, a banner at the top of the Edit page says what failed, and the item's row in Add Items shows an "eBay update failed" badge. Your changes are already saved in FindA.Sale, and no email is sent. Fix the cause, then tap Retry or save again.
"Weight required" The item has calculated shipping selected but no weight entered. Open the item, go to Shipping & package, enter the weight in ounces, save, then push again.
"Category mismatch" eBay rejected the auto-assigned category. Open the item, go to the Category section, tap eBay Category, and use the picker to find the right category. This usually happens with unusual or mixed items.
"Listing failed: account not connected" Your eBay token expired. Go to Settings → Integrations → eBay and reconnect.
"Photos not uploaded" The item has no photos, or the photos are still processing. Wait for the review queue to show the photos, then push.

Common questions
Does every item in my sale need to go on eBay? No. You push items one at a time. Only push what makes sense for shipping: fragile items, very large items, or things worth less than $15 after shipping usually aren't worth it.
Can I change the price on eBay separately from my sale price? No, the two stay in sync. If you change the title, description, condition, price or shipping in FindA.Sale and save, the change is sent to your live eBay listing, and the line above Save tells you which fields will go. If you change the price directly on eBay, it syncs back into FindA.Sale within a few hours.
To edit in FindA.Sale without touching eBay yet, use Save without updating marketplaces. That pauses eBay sync for the item until you tap Update eBay now or Resume syncing.
What shipping policies does FindA.Sale use? It uses whatever defaults are set in your eBay seller account. If you haven't set them up, eBay will prompt you when you first connect. Check your eBay account's Business Policies section if you get errors.
If you have a custom eBay shipping policy set, the shipping preview (shown once a package weight is entered) names it, for example "Custom eBay policy: Heavy items". To use a different policy for one item, open its Shipping & package section and change Shipping policy for this item. The preview reads the saved item, so save to see it update.
Can I push the same item to multiple platforms at once? You can push to eBay and Shopify independently. They're separate actions.
What if a buyer on eBay wants to negotiate? That happens through eBay's messaging system directly. FindA.Sale doesn't see eBay messages.
Do my items show up anywhere besides eBay and my sale page? Yes, shippable items from published sales are also sent to Google Shopping through an automatic nightly product feed, so they can appear in Google's free product listings. There's nothing to set up and no per-item push; it runs on its own. Items marked Local Pickup Only are excluded, since Google Shopping is for items that can be delivered.
My item is sitting at yellow: should I fix it before pushing? Yellow means the basics are there but a category, condition or description is missing. Fill them in before you push: a clear description and the right condition help the item sell, and the condition decides what eBay shows buyers.

[0:00–0:10] Some items are worth more than your local buyers will pay. For those, push them to eBay. FindA.Sale handles almost everything automatically. You just add the shipping info.
[0:10–0:20] First, connect your eBay account. Go to Settings, then Integrations, then eBay. Tap Connect, sign in to eBay, and authorize. You only do this once.
[0:20–0:32] Now go to your review queue. Each item card has a colored left edge. Green means it's ready on FindA.Sale. Blue means it's also ready to push to eBay: it has a package weight. Red means a title, price or photo is missing. Open the card's More details.
[0:32–0:50] If you're shipping it, enter the package weight in ounces and the dimensions. If it's pickup only, check Local pickup only. FindA.Sale handles everything else.
[0:50–1:05] Tap Push to eBay. FindA.Sale sends the title, photos, description, category, condition, and price over to eBay. The listing is live in about 60 seconds.
[1:05–1:20] If it sells on eBay, FindA.Sale marks it sold automatically. No double-selling. If it sells at your sale first, the eBay listing is ended automatically too: no manual step needed.
[1:20–1:30] If an update fails, a banner on the Edit page tells you exactly what's wrong. Missing weight, wrong category, expired account token: fix the issue, then retry. Usually takes 30 seconds to fix.
