Selling / Listing using Android apps

[nowplayingrecords]

Hi and thanks for helping.

I currently use an android phone with the latest version of Ebay installed.

I list similar items (same category and certain elements of my description) and want to be able to use a template for quicker listing.

What I find is that I am only able to save a draft not "create a template" & when my content is input into the draft and then the listing becomes live, the draft dissapears which then means I need to recreate the exact same listing again.

The option of "sell similar item" does not fix my problem as it basically replicates the listing then I need to remove all the content about that item and replace it with the new items descripition.

Is there a way to create a template for quick listing rather then doing the whole input, list, remove, input list thing?

Is there an android application that anyone else uses for listing?

I find this to be such a simple thing for the Ebay team to fix however I cannot seem to find a way round it.

The ebay app on Android or Iphone is know to be full of bugs and problems. Even for buyers.

So we don't use it for anything more than to get the "kaching" notifications on our phones when something sells.

For all our interaction with the ebay site we use a laptop and full web browsers. Even then the site still has it problems.

I'm unaware of any third party app for phones/tablets that would do what you want.

You could try froo aps, but i have never used it, so no idea if it works or not, i normaly do the "relist similar", but it is annoying deleating the info not required for a listing

Ok, thanks for your help.

It's frustrating as having the use of the phones camera really quickens up the process instead of having to migrate the images over to laptop.

Appreciate your response.

I should mention if you are using phone to do your selling make shure you set your blocks up, because on app it says you sell to australia, but people overseas can still buy your stuff, so you need to set your blocks to stop that (thats if you dont feel comfortable selling overseas)

Thanks alot.

I'm not sure if I have block on or off but you would it should automatically set if you have selected that "no international postage" is offered.

If you do not wish to sell overseas its not good enough just to say you dont sell overseas.

You have to go into your account settings and specifically exclude all the countries (by ticking them) you do not wish to sell to.

That will be all except Australia if you only wish to sell here.

Not sure if/not the phone app will let you access these areas of your account.

I have a feeling you need to do this on a computer. Either that or access the full site via your phone web browser.

Clarry you do not need to exclude any countries, as long as you have no international postage selected and you choose the option to block members with primary delivery addresses you do not post to then nobody will be able to bid/buy unless the have an Australian delivery address.

That is true Pj, but if op is using the ebay app, and selected no international postage, as far as i know it wont stop it from happening, i only brought it up because yonks ago i asked a simular question and got told that i had to put blocks in place to stop it from happening, and had to go full site to set my blocks because the app does not provide the full options available compared to full site.
