← All WonderLister user guides
Account & Site is the first section of the listing editor. It decides
which eBay account the listing is created under and which eBay site (marketplace)
it is listed on. Almost everything below it depends on these two choices, so this is the section to
set first.
Where to find it
Open a listing from the Listings or Listing Templates grid — select a
row and choose Edit, or double-click the row. Account & Site is the first block on
the page, and the first entry in the editor’s left-hand section list.
The Account & Site section, with the account and site pickers and the eBay catalog link.
What is on this section
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Select Account |
Chooses the eBay account this listing belongs to. The list holds the eBay accounts you have linked to WonderLister. The field is strict — you can only pick a value that is in the list — and it can be cleared. |
| Manage (under the account) | Opens Manage eBay Accounts, where accounts are linked, re-authorised and removed. |
| Refresh (under the account) | Re-reads the account list. Use it after linking a new account so it appears without reopening the editor. |
| Select Site |
Chooses the eBay marketplace — eBay US, eBay UK and so on. The site governs the currency, the category tree, the business policies and the item specifics offered further down the page. |
| Manage / Refresh (under the site) | Open the eBay Sites page, and re-read the list of sites. |
| Search eBay Catalog |
Appears once an account and a site are chosen and the listing is not already matched to a catalog product. It opens the catalog search, where picking a product fills in the title, pictures and item specifics from eBay’s own product data. |
| Selected catalog product / See details |
Shown only when the listing is matched to a catalog product. The title of the matched product is displayed, and See details opens that product’s page on eBay in a new tab. |
Set these before anything else. The category tree, store categories, business policies
and item specifics are all loaded for the chosen account and site. Changing either one after you have
filled the rest of the listing means those lists are re-fetched, and choices that no longer exist on the
new site are dropped.
