Manage Hazmats

← All WonderLister user guides

A hazmat record is the hazardous material warning a product has to carry — its signal
word, its pictograms and its hazard statements. eBay publishes the permitted values, and they differ by
marketplace, so every record belongs to one eBay site.

No screenshot. This screen is opened from the settings drawer’s GPSR menu, and the capture run
photographs routed pages and the dialogs a page toolbar opens rather than ones behind a menu.
Everything on it is named below, in the order it appears on screen.

Where to find it

  1. Click Settings on the top bar. The settings drawer opens.
  2. Click GPSR, then Hazmat in the menu that drops down.

The same screen is a section of the settings page, under Hazmat in its left-hand list, and
the Manage link inside the matching block of a listing’s
General Product Safety Regulations section opens it too.

What is on screen

Control What it does
Add Opens an empty Hazmat Editor.
Edit Opens the selected row. With nothing selected it says Please select a hazmat.
Delete Removes the selected record, after asking.
Help (?) Opens the in-application help for this screen.

The columns

Column What it holds
Hazmat Id Our identifier. A listing stores this.
Site The eBay site the record was built for. A record is only offered to listings on that site.
Title Your own name for the record, and the text the picker on a listing shows.
Component The hazardous ingredient, where you name one. Optional.
Signal Word Id The chosen signal word — eBay’s code for it, such as the one behind Danger or Warning.
Statement Ids The chosen hazard statements, as a comma-separated list of eBay’s codes.
Pictogram Ids The chosen pictograms, in the same form.
The last four columns show eBay’s codes, not the words. That is deliberate — they are
what is sent to eBay. Open the record in the editor to see the wording each code stands for.

How to add a hazmat record

  1. Click Add.
  2. Choose the eBay site, then give the record a title.
  3. Choose the signal word, the pictograms and the statements.
  4. Click Save. The screen reports Hazmat successfully saved.

How to change or remove one

  1. Click the row to select it.
  2. Click Edit, or Delete and answer Yes, I’m sure — the question names the component.

FAQ

Q: My record does not appear in the picker on a listing.
A: The listing is on a different eBay site. Records are per site; make one for that
site too.
Q: The editor offers no signal words or pictograms.
A: The lists come from eBay for the chosen site. Choose the site first, and in the
desktop application refresh them with Refresh GPSR meta data.
Q: One record for the whole product, or one per hazard?
A: One per product. A record already holds up to four pictograms and eight
statements.
Q: What is a component?
A: The hazardous ingredient by name — the thing the warning is about. It is
optional, and eBay treats it as extra detail rather than as one of the required elements.
