Push to eBay

The Push to eBay feature lets you create eBay listings directly from WooCommerce. Build your products in WordPress — titles, descriptions, images, variations — and push them live to eBay with a single click or in bulk.

Before You Start

Prerequisites

  1. eBay Business Policies must be enabled on your seller account. Most accounts have this already. If not, enroll at bizpolicy.ebay.com.
  2. Connect to eBay via TCGiant Sync → Settings (if you haven't already).

Setting Up Business Policies

Every eBay listing needs a Shipping, Return, and Payment policy attached to it. Here's how to configure them:

  1. Go to TCGiant Sync → Settings.
  2. Scroll to the Export Defaults section.
  3. Click Fetch Policies — this pulls your existing eBay Business Policies live from your account.
  4. Select a default Shipping Policy, Return Policy, and Payment Policy from the dropdowns.
  5. Set a default eBay Category ID (you can override this per product).
  6. Set a default Condition (New, Used, etc.).
  7. Click Save Settings.

💡 Tip: If "Fetch Policies" shows a 403 error, your OAuth token may have been issued before the account scope was added. Go to Settings → Reconnect to eBay, then try again.

Pushing a Single Product

  1. Go to Products → All Products and open any product.
  2. Scroll down to the Product Data section.
  3. Click the TCGiant Sync tab.
  4. Optionally override the default eBay Category, Condition, or Business Policies for this specific item.
  5. Click Push to eBay.

The product is queued for export and processed in the background. Check TCGiant Sync → Dashboard or Logs for the result.

Once pushed, the product is assigned an _ebay_item_id — you'll see the live eBay listing URL right in the TCGiant Sync tab.

Pushing in Bulk

For larger batches:

  1. Go to Products → All Products.
  2. Select the products you want to push (checkboxes).
  3. Open the Bulk Actions dropdown.
  4. Select Push to eBay via TCGiant Sync.
  5. Click Apply.

All selected products are queued and pushed sequentially using the default Export settings.

💡 Tip: Bulk push uses Action Scheduler, which processes items in the background. You don't need to keep the page open.

Variable Products (Variations)

TCGiant Sync fully supports pushing WooCommerce Variable Products to eBay as multi-variation listings:

  • Each WooCommerce variation becomes an eBay variation (e.g., Size: Small/Medium/Large).
  • Variation-specific prices, stock quantities, and SKUs are all mapped correctly.
  • Images are assigned to the parent listing.

💡 Tip: When importing eBay variations into WooCommerce, they're also correctly mapped as Variable Products with individual variation attributes.

Smart Revision Detection

If a WooCommerce product already has an eBay Item ID (from a previous push or import), pushing it again will not create a duplicate listing.

Instead, the plugin uses eBay's ReviseItem API to update the existing listing with the latest:

  • Title and Description
  • Price
  • Stock Quantity
  • Images

This means you can safely use "Push to eBay" as an "update" button — it always does the right thing.

Per-Product Overrides

Every product can override the global Export Defaults:

Override Description
eBay Category ID Use a different eBay category for this specific product
Condition Override the default condition (New, Used, Like New, etc.)
Shipping Policy Use a different shipping policy
Return Policy Use a different return policy
Payment Policy Use a different payment policy

Set these in the TCGiant Sync tab on any product edit screen.
