When submitting listings to eBay, LinnLive creates a separate template for each listing. Configurator defines what information will be used in the template and the listing. Template has to be confirmed and only then item will be listed on the channel.

Templates for all items that have been selected in the Inventory screen in Step 1 will be created and displayed in the Listings screen (Fig. 3.1).
Listings can be created one-by-one or in bulk. When creating listings in bulk, listings are added to a batch process. In this case 50 listings are created every 5 minutes. LinnLive has to be open until all the listings have been created. After successful/unsuccessful submission of the listings to eBay, the eBay listing screen will display Status as Listed or Error while creating. If there was an error, it can be viewed by clicking View button in the Report cell.

It is possible to create multiple listings for a single inventory item in LinnLive.
1. Locate the item in LinnLive; 2. Add listing details in Listing Descriptions section manually (a) or in bulk (b). Enter EBAY as Source for each listing. SubSource field has to contain SubSource as written in Linnworks followed by an underscore and a number. E.g. if two separate listings were to be created for the same item on EBAY2, SubSource would need to be written as EBAY2_1 and EBAY2_2 (Fig. 5.1); a) Manually: add price, title and description that each listing will have on the given channel; b) In bulk: use data import tool -> Multiple Listing Titles and Prices; 3. Locate the item on Inventory screen; 4. Select configurator; 5. Review templates for the listings. Number of templates will correspond to the number of Item Titles added in Listing Descriptions section in step 2 (Fig. 5.2); 6. Confirm creation of the listings. |
