When you submit listings, this dialog asks when they should go live, and how far apart. Submitting
two hundred listings at once puts two hundred identical timestamps on eBay; spacing them is what this is
for.
No screenshot. The dialog appears on the way to submitting listings to eBay, which the
capture run does not do. All of its controls are named below.
capture run does not do. All of its controls are named below.
Where to find it
- Select listings on Listings or Listing Templates.
- Choose to submit them.
The dialog is titled Scheduling. If you have turned scheduling options off in
Preferences it does not appear at all, and everything is submitted with no
scheduling.
Schedule on
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| WonderLister | WonderLister holds the listings and sends each one to eBay at its due time. Available where scheduling is part of your subscription. |
| eBay | The listings are sent to eBay now, with a scheduled start time for eBay to honour. eBay charges a fee per scheduled listing. |
| None | Submit now. This is the default, and the rest of the dialog is hidden while it is chosen. |
The choice between the two is a choice about who charges you and who holds the queue. eBay
scheduling costs a fee per listing but survives your machine being off. WonderLister scheduling costs
nothing extra and is what the subscription is for.

When, and how far apart
Choosing anything but None reveals two more controls:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Schedule date and Schedule time | When the first listing goes live. Both must be set — leaving them empty answers Scheduling date/time must be selected. |
| Scheduling interval — Hours, Minutes, Seconds | The gap between one listing and the next. Hours 0–23, minutes and seconds 0–58. |
| Ok | Submits with these settings. |
| Cancel | Abandons the submission entirely — nothing is sent. |
The interval is per listing, and it multiplies. Two hundred listings ten minutes apart is
thirty-three hours of listing. Work the arithmetic out before you press Ok: the last
listing goes live at the first time plus the interval times the number of listings.

How to stagger a batch

- Set the Schedule date and Schedule time for the first one.
- Set the Scheduling interval — the gap between listings.
- Check the arithmetic: interval times the number of listings is how long the batch takes.
- Click Ok, and follow the run in Activity Logs.
