List and Sync features available with eBay

Import products from eBay

Nembol is cloud-based software, useful to bulk-import listings from eBay and to publish them on multiple channels, such as Etsy, Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, TikTok Shop, Google Merchant Center, and Instagram. See our integrations.

How to import specific items

In the eBay “Import settings”, you can select filters to sort products according to:

• The Listing format;
• The eBay local site;

Moreover, with Nembol, you can choose to import the product description with the attached pre-formatted HTML template.

Bulk-list products to eBay

Nembol helps you to easily bulk-list products on up to 10 eBay shops from a broad set of integrated channels, such as Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, TikTok Shop, and many more.

Save your time, and use a CSV file to list your products on eBay (and on more available channels).

Sync inventory across channels

Nembol is designed to help sellers with their multichannel business. For example, Nembol provides its users with a smart function that automatically syncs the available quantities across multiple channels.

To activate it, go to the Sync settings section and enable the function “Quantity sync towards Nembol”, and every time you sell an order, Nembol will automatically align the inventory across all connected channels.

Export products to eBay with reduced inventory-count

eBay has selling limits that restrict the number of listings you can publish on your account. Nembol can’t overcome those limitations imposed by eBay, but it can help you publish your whole inventory.

With Nembol, you can use the Limit Inventory Quantity function to set an inventory-maximum to each of your SKUs. This way, you will be able to export a fraction of your inventory, and automatically restock as you sell (so that you never sell out early!).

Centrally bulk-edit products

With Nembol, you can centrally bulk-edit your products’ content in just a few clicks: prices, inventory, SKUs, pictures, titles, and descriptions!

Thanks to this helpful automation, you will be able to edit product information and have it synced across multiple channels, automatically. Discover our CSV bulk editor.

On the other hand, you will also be able to differentiate product content and prices to suit your needs, if you want to.

Link listings on different channels

Before subscribing to Nembol, you may have already spent time listing your products across different channels. In this case, Nembol allows you to link your existing listings, associating products with the same SKU codes.

That function turns out very useful, especially when you want to keep all the contents and product information and sync inventory across multiple channels without any additional effort due to the relisting process.

To link your listings, you need to:

• Import in Nembol listings from one of your channels;
• Import items also from your additional channels;
• And that’s all! From now on, your products are linked and synced across multiple channels.

Transfer orders into Shopify

Nembol integrates with Shopify and allows you to centrally manage all your listings in your Shopify backend, pushing all your product edits across multiple channels, such as Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, TikTok Shop, and many more.

Moreover, to ease your multichannel business management, Nembol provides its users with the chance to transfer orders received on the connected channels into Shopify’s dashboard.

How to use Nembol with eBay

Nembol provides its users with many useful functions to support sellers during the listing procedure and stock management. In this section, we will show you all the available features suitable for your eBay account.

Let’s see together how to set them correctly and ease your multichannel business.

First of all, open Nembol Channel Tab and click on Sync settings section.

Once it opens, you will be able to see 3 different sections, each one designed to accomplish different tasks, such as:

• Main;
• Price rules;
• Inventory control;

Price rules: if you want to set a dedicated price to your eBay’s listings, all you need to do is to fill the box with a positive number (if you want to raise the price), vice-versa, use “-” followed by a number to set a discount.

Inventory control: Activate this function to publish your products with a reduced inventory count.

Quantity sync towards Nembol

Activate this function to let Nembol synchronize inventory quantities from eBay to your other channels.

Nembol will keep your inventory aligned across all the integrated channels, making it easy to manage your available stock, and avoid overselling.

Stop worrying about mistakes and oversights: rely on Nembol.

Edit content from Nembol

Enable this function, and all the product edits you make in Nembol or Shopify will be applied to your eBay listings.

Disable it, and the eBay content won’t be overwritten by Nembol.

This setting doesn’t refer to your Quantity Sync preferences.

eBay settings on Nembol

Open Nembol Channel Tab and click on the eBay icon to display all the other available settings. Once it opens, you will be able to see 2 different sections:

• Publish settings;
• Import settings;

Publish settings

This section is rich in content and comprehends several features that – if set up properly – will help you to optimize your time and publish your cross-channel listings even on your eBay account.

These settings let you state how you want to publish your items.

You can centrally specify the:

Listing format: Buy It Now or Auction

Item condition: New or Pre-owned

Auction duration: 7 Days or Max possible (for auctions)

The Out-of-stock option is a smart function designed to keep your listings active even if your inventory count reaches zero.

This way, you will be able to re-stock your items without losing all their history and SEO authority, hard-earned during the entire period of the listing activity.

Switch it “ON” to maintain your listing active and be able to re-stock at a later time.

Shorten titles: This function (active by default) automatically cuts titles to the maximum allowed length on eBay (80 characters). Words will not be truncated.

Title prefix: here, you can add a short sentence that will be used as a prefix at the beginning of your listings titles.

Nembol provides you simplified business policies, designed to automatically work on every account:

• Payment Policy;
• Returns Policy;
• Shipping Policy.

Import from eBay

Finally, in this section will be displayed Nembol “Import from eBay” functions.

These features allow you to extract listings from your eBay store and import them into Nembol. Once you import your products, you will be able to manage and publish them on several integrated channels.

Sort the listings you intended to import by:

• Listing format: All or Buy Now or Auction
• eBay local Site: US, or UK, or IT, and so on.

Import eBay description in HTM format: activate this function to import, along with your eBay products, their HTML descriptions and re-use them when you cross-list those items on multiple channels.
