eBay Publishing

Pointless POS can publish products directly to your eBay store, keeping your online marketplace listings in sync with your POS inventory.

Enabling eBay Publishing

  1. Navigate to Settings > Software & Hardware > Interfaces.
  2. Under Home Page — Customer View, toggle Enable eBay Publishing to ON.
  3. Click Save.

Configuring eBay Settings

Full eBay configuration (credentials, store settings, fulfillment policies, return policies) is managed through dedicated eBay settings pages:

Product-Level eBay Visibility

Individual price tiers and price categories can be marked for eBay publishing using the webEnabled flag. A product must be:

  1. Active in the catalog.
  2. Web Enabled at the product level.
  3. Have at least one price tier with webEnabled set.

How It Works

When a product is published:

  • Product name, description, and images are sent to your eBay store.
  • Pricing is pulled from the product's retail price or active price tier.
  • Inventory quantities sync from your POS stock levels.
  • When stock reaches zero in your POS, the eBay listing is marked as out of stock.

Considerations

  • Images: Products need a main image (urlImageMain) for the eBay listing. Listings without images may be deprioritized by eBay's search.
  • Descriptions: Use onlineDescription for eBay product descriptions. Plain text and basic HTML are supported.
  • Categories: Ensure products have a clear category assignment — eBay requires a valid category for each listing.
  • Pricing accuracy: Verify that the price tier used for eBay matches your intended marketplace price.
