Publishing your listing to eBay

This article explains what has to be in place, on both DashVue and eBay, before the “List item on eBay” button will actually put your listing live, plus the limits that apply once you start publishing.

What your draft needs before it can go live

DashVue checks that a listing is complete before it will let you publish. Make sure the essentials are filled in: a title, a price, a category, a condition, a description and at least one photo. If anything required is missing, the publish action will not go through and you will need to go back into the listing form and finish the draft first.

Connect eBay with Full Access

Publishing only works if your DashVue account is connected to your eBay account with Full Access permissions. DashVue connects to a single eBay UK selling account, so check your connection settings show Full Access rather than read-only before you try to publish.

Business Policies and a merchant location on eBay

Before eBay will accept a listing from any connected app, your eBay account itself needs Business Policies (payment, postage and returns policies) and a merchant location set up. These live on eBay’s side, not inside DashVue, so if you have not set them up yet, do that in your eBay seller account settings first. Without them, eBay will reject the listing even if your DashVue draft is complete.

Fixed price listings only

DashVue publishes fixed price (Buy It Now) listings only. There is no auction option, so if you are used to listing items as auctions elsewhere, that path is not available through DashVue.

Publishing your listing

1. Finish the draft: title, price, category, condition, description and at least one photo.
2. Check your eBay connection shows Full Access, not read-only.
3. Confirm Business Policies and a merchant location exist on your eBay account.
4. Click “List item on eBay” on the listing form.
5. DashVue publishes the listing to eBay UK as a fixed price (Buy It Now) listing.
