Hazmat Editor

← All WonderLister user guides

The Hazmat Editor builds one hazardous material warning: the eBay site it is for, a title
of your own, an optional component, a signal word, pictograms and hazard statements. Everything but the
title comes from lists eBay publishes for that site.

No screenshot. This dialog is opened from a screen the capture run cannot reach, Manage Hazmats, 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

Open Manage Hazmats and click Add, or select a row and
click Edit.

The dialog states eBay’s rule at the top: three elements are required to complete the hazmat section of a
listing — pictograms, a signal word and
statements — and a fourth, component, is optional.

The fields

Field What it is
Select Site The eBay marketplace this record is for. Everything below is reloaded from eBay when you change it, because the permitted values differ by site.
Your own Title A name only you see. Required, and it is the text the picker on a listing lists.
Component The hazardous ingredient. Optional.
Select Signal Word One word, from eBay’s list for the site. Required.
Select Pictograms (Max 4) The hazard symbols. Choose up to four; a fifth is refused with Please select a maximum of 4 pictograms.
Select Statements (Max 8) The hazard and precautionary statements. Up to eight; a ninth is refused the same way.
Save Validates and closes. The screen underneath writes the record.
Cancel Closes without saving.

What Save checks

  • A site must be chosen — otherwise Please select eBay Site.
  • A title must be entered — otherwise Title must be entered.
  • A signal word must be chosen — otherwise Signal word must be selected.
  • At least one pictogram or one statement — otherwise At least one Pictogram or Statement must be selected.
The editor is more forgiving than eBay is. It will save a record with pictograms and no
statements; eBay’s own rule asks for all three elements. Fill in all three unless you know the category does
not need them.

FAQ

the site; in the desktop application, run

Q: I changed the site and my choices vanished.
A: They had to — the codes belong to the old site. Choose again from the new
site’s lists.
Q: Why is there a title as well as a component?
A: The title is yours, for finding the record in a dropdown. The component is
eBay’s, and describes the product.
Q: Can I use one record on several sites?
A: No. Make one record per site.
