Creating a Listing in Ink Frog
In today's tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating a listing in Ink Frog. Ink Frog is an essential tool for eBay sellers that simplifies the listing process and allows for efficient management of eBay inventory. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced seller, this guide will provide you with a step-by-step approach to create effective listings using Ink Frog.
Introduction
Starting with Ink Frog, one of the first things you need to do is log into the Ink Frog website. Once logged in, navigate to the top right-hand corner and click on "Create New Listing." This action will take you to the page where you will complete the entire listing process.
Adding a Title
The title is a crucial component of any eBay listing as it helps potential buyers find your product. Ink Frog allows you to easily add a title by either using the title from the provided spreadsheet or creating a new one based on the item's photos. Make sure to capitalize each word in the title and include any identifying markers, such as color or model number.
Description Section
The description section provides buyers with important information about the item. The details for this section should come from the spreadsheet provided to you. Include the item's condition, condition description, and any additional relevant details. Keep the description concise and accurate to attract potential buyers.
Product Identifier
If the item has a Universal Product Code (UPC), it is essential to include it in the listing. Look for the image of the UPC and add it to the appropriate field. This step ensures that your listing is easily discoverable.
Saving to Drafts
To ensure proper organization and review before launching your listing, use the "Save to Folder" feature. It is crucial to select "Drafts to Be Listed" from the drop-down menu, so you can review and launch the listing when you are ready.
Adding Images
Visual appeal is paramount on eBay as buyers rely heavily on images when making purchasing decisions. To add images, click on "Add Images," then "Upload New Images." You can either drag and drop the images or upload them from your folder. Ensure the images are properly cropped and oriented. Use the editing tools provided by Ink Frog if any adjustments are needed.
Listing Profile
Ink Frog allows you to specify the eBay category, listing format, and duration in the listing profile. Browse and search for the most accurate eBay category that describes your item. Choose the appropriate listing format, such as fixed price, and set the duration as "Good Till Cancelled." The remaining options, such as charity and donation percentage, can be left unchanged.
Store Category
If you have a personal store, select the most suitable category from the drop-down menu. This helps buyers navigate your store and find related items easily. Make the category selection based on a thorough review of your available categories.
Item Specifics
Including item specifics enhances the visibility and searchability of your listing. Add as many item specifics as possible, such as brand, type, connectivity, color, material, and year of manufacture. Refer to the spreadsheet or images provided to identify the relevant item specifics.
Item Location
Specify the item's location by selecting "United States" from the drop-down menu. The zip code should be set as "61761," and the location as "Normal, IL."
Pricing
To determine the best pricing for your item, conduct research on eBay. Search for similar items, focusing on both active and sold listings. Compare the prices of used or pre-owned items in similar condition to set a competitive price. Use your judgment to list the item at a price that you deem appropriate.
Shipping Profile
Select the appropriate shipping profile by linking it from the existing profiles. The available options include one ounce to one pound, one pound to two pounds, two pounds to three pounds, and over three pounds. The weight will be determined based on the item's details provided in the spreadsheet.
Package Details
In the package details section, specify the weight of the item. Use the values provided in the spreadsheet, including pounds and ounces. Leave the dimensions field empty unless specific packaging dimensions are required.
Payment Profile
Select the appropriate payment profile by linking it from the existing profiles. PayPal is the recommended option for seamless transactions. Ensure that the profile allows buyers to purchase items.
Saving the Listing
Once all the required details have been added, click on "Save to Library." This action saves the listing for review and subsequent launch. The listing can then be published live once reviewed and approved.
