eBay Seller Listing Limits: Keep Your Inventory in Check!
As an eBay seller, you get monthly listing limits set by eBay to help keep things organized. Once you hit those limits, you might see errors when trying to list more items. Don't worry—this is usually because of quantity or monetary value restrictions.
How eBay Counts Listings:
Quantity Limits:
Each item in your listing counts toward your monthly limit. So, if you have one listing with 1,000 items, that counts as 1,000 toward your limit!

Monetary Value Limits:
eBay also tracks the total monetary value of your listings. For example, if you have a listing with 1,000 items priced at $5 each, that counts as $5,000 toward your limit.

What to Do If You Hit Your eBay Seller Limits:
1. Request a Limit Increase:
Need more space? Contact eBay customer support for a limit increase. You can request this once every 30 days, and if approved, you can keep listing via inkFrog. You can also ask eBay directly for an increase.

2. Adjust Listing Quantities:
If you're using a store connection with inkFrog, you can tweak the restock settings in your sync options to lower the quantity sent to eBay. This can help free up room within your limits!

Enabling Separate Inventory for eBay Listings
Want to manage eBay stock separately from your store? Here's how:
- Go to Settings > Store Connector.
- Click the Settings (gear) button on the right side.
- If inventory sync is active, you'll see an option to Allow Separate Inventory.
Once enabled, you’ll see two quantity fields—one for your store and one for eBay. Just make sure the eBay quantity is equal to or less than your store inventory.
Restock Settings for eBay Listings
The Restock Settings let you keep your eBay listings in sync with your store inventory. When both your eBay and store quantities reach zero, restocking your store will automatically update your eBay inventory.
This ensures your stock levels are always aligned, and you never have to worry about overselling.
Auto Restock Option for eBay Listings
For ultimate convenience, turn on Auto Restock! This feature automatically replenishes your eBay listings based on your store inventory. Here's how it works:
- Set your eBay listing quantity to 1.
- Once an item sells on eBay, inkFrog checks your store stock. If you have at least 1 item available, inkFrog will automatically restock your eBay listing to 1.
This keeps your inventory fresh and in line with sales, so you can focus on what you do best—selling!
eBay Import Quantity Limit Setting
If you want more control over the quantity of products imported to eBay, use the eBay Import Quantity Limit setting. Set it to 1, and each new product imported will be limited to a quantity of 1, as long as you have stock in your store.
This is perfect for managing your listings and ensuring that only a select amount is available for sale.
With these features, you can manage your eBay listings with ease, stay within your limits, and keep your stock levels in perfect harmony. Happy selling!
