How to create listings

To create a listing in the app, go to the Selling page and select List an item. Beyond the features you would find on your laptop or desktop, you’ll find some useful shortcuts:

  • Scan your item’s barcode to automatically add product details automatically from our catalog
  • Snap photos and add them directly to your listing

Listings will sync across your devices, so you can start a listing on the app and finish it on your laptop or desktop, or vice versa.

Tip
We regularly update and improve our app, so keep an eye on the Google Play Store or iOS App Store to make sure you’re using the most current version.

Troubleshooting on the eBay app

If you run into a problem using the eBay app, try the following:

  • Can’t launch the app: Check for updates in the app store and download the latest version.

  • Photos won’t upload: Try rebooting your mobile device. If that doesn’t solve the issue, uninstall and then reinstall the app
  • Can’t log in with your eBay username or password: Double-check that your information is entered correctly. Autofill and autocorrect can sometimes enter things you weren’t intending

You can create listings quickly and easily with the eBay app—simply fill out the listing form on the Selling page.
