Options:
- Check Errors and Fees: Click this option to view a list of your selected listings, check for any errors, and get an estimate of eBay fees.
- Post All Listings Matching Current Search: If you’ve used the “select all” checkbox on the library page, clicking this link will send all listings in the library to eBay, not just the selected ones. Want only the listings you've specifically selected to be sent? Don’t click this option!
- When Would You Like These Listings to Be Submitted?
- Launch Immediately: If you're ready to go live, just click this option and hit the Submit button.
- Schedule for Later: If you want to schedule the listings for a future time, choose a date from the drop-down menu, set the scheduled time, and decide if you want a time delay between listings. Once you’ve set your preferences, hit Submit.

Force Synchronization
Show me how
Make Your Listing Selections
Start by selecting the checkbox next to each listing or simply choose Select All. This will be the group of listings you’ll sync.
Once you've selected your listings, click on Force Sync. A menu will appear with several options based on whether you’re using inkFrog with eBay only or if you have other store connections (e.g., Shopify, Amazon).
eBay to inkFrog Sync
This option syncs listing details from eBay back into inkFrog. If you have a store connection, note that this sync may also update your store products based on your sync settings.
- Update Images & Descriptions: If you select this, inkFrog will pull in eBay’s images and descriptions.
Important: Updating descriptions from eBay is not recommended if you’re using inkFrog’s description templates, as eBay stores template code along with the description text, which could lead to unwanted formatting issues.
It’s generally better to make description revisions in inkFrog and sync those changes to eBay.
Once you're ready, you can choose between:
- Sync Listings: This will only sync the listings you’ve selected in the library.
- Sync All Listings Matching Current Search: This will sync all listings in the library, including those you haven’t selected.
inkFrog to eBay Sync
When you choose to force sync inkFrog to eBay, you have several options to tailor what gets updated. Here’s what you can select:
- Description & Images
- Title
- Quantity
- Price
- Variants
- SKU
- Listing Profile
- Return Profile
- Payment Profile
- Shipping Profile (required)
- Buyer Requirements
- Subtitle
For Multi-SKU Listings:
If you choose to update any of the following—Quantity, Price, Variants, or SKU—ALL four elements will be updated across your multi-SKU listings on eBay.
What Happens Next:
Once you've made your selections, you can choose one of these options:
- Sync Listings: This will update only the listings you’ve selected from the library.
- Sync All Listings Matching Current Search: This will sync every listing in the library, even those you didn’t select.
Make sure to check your settings and selected listings before syncing!
inkFrog to Store
When syncing from inkFrog to your store, the available options will vary depending on which type of store connection you have set up (e.g., Shopify, Amazon).
Important:
When you choose to force sync inkFrog to your store, the sync will follow the settings you’ve enabled or disabled for the store. Be sure to double-check your sync settings before proceeding, as this action cannot be undone once completed.
What You Can Do:
- Sync Listings: This will update only the listings you’ve selected from the library.
- Sync All Listings Matching Current Search: This will sync every listing in the library, even those you haven’t selected.
Before syncing, ensure your sync settings are accurate to avoid unintended updates!
Store to inkFrog
The available options will vary depending on the type of store connection you have set up with inkFrog (e.g., Shopify, Amazon).
Store to inkFrog
The available options will vary depending on the type of store connection you have set up with inkFrog (e.g., Shopify, Amazon).
Important:
