eBay listings built for review, then publish

Optimlister writes the eBay draft to the 80-character title limit and its category item specifics. You review the result, copy the fields, and confirm Publish in eBay.

Written to rank in eBay search: keyword-backed titles, every indexed field filled, and checked against eBay's policies so the listing stays live. Structured for the AI shopping era too - clear facts and Q&A that answer engines can lift. And the keywords are measured, not guessed: live search volumes and rank tracking are built in.

Three steps, and what each one actually produces for a eBay seller - words, pictures and video.

1
Give it what you have
A listing, a link, a photo, a product name, or the email eBay just sent you.
2
It writes, draws and checks for eBay
A eBay listing and the images to go with it, to eBay's limits and rules, with measured keywords behind the words - and the same product for the other five when you want them.

You publish; it keeps watching
Files, exact fields or one-click fill; then daily rank, price and listing-health watch.

Why each version differs: every card is written fresh to the rule printed on it - Amazon now uses a 75-character Item name plus 125-character Item Highlights and benefit bullets, Etsy uses buyer-friendly titles and up to 13 tags, eBay uses item specifics, and Walmart uses structured attributes. The meter under each title shows how much of that marketplace's title limit the example uses. Every asset here is a real generator output with its exact cost - see the receipts.

What we write, and to what limit

Every field trimmed to eBay's own limit, not a generic one.

Title
80 characters, every one of them working
Item specifics
the aspects eBay requires for that category
Description
structured, mobile-first
Condition and category
matched to eBay's own taxonomy

Counting characters by hand? The free title and tag checker measures every one of these fields against the eBay limit. No signup.

What we check before you publish

eBay rules specifically. This is the part almost nothing else does.

•Missing required item specifics for the category, which block publish
•Restricted and prohibited items
•Keyword spam in titles, which eBay demotes
•Over-length titles that get cut mid-word
What we check, and what we do not. We check your listing text and structure againsteBay's published content rules - the list above. We do not give legal advice, and we do not verify product safety, certifications or regulatory approval - supplements, medical devices, kids' products and other regulated categories still need your own compliance review. No automated check can guarantee a listing never gets flagged; marketplaces change rules without notice. When one slips through anyway, that is what Listing SOS is for.

Already suppressed or rejected on eBay? Listing SOS works out which rule the listing hit and rewrites it around that rule.

How it gets onto eBay

Review and copy the exact fields; publish in eBay

The launch path keeps you in control: review the title, description and item specifics, then publish in eBay. Direct API publishing remains gated while approvals and test validation are incomplete.

The browser extension

Built for eBay only

These exist because eBay does something no other marketplace does. The rest of the team works here too - pick eBay when you run them.

Common questions about eBay listings

Short answers, in case you are here to settle one thing.

What is the eBay title character limit?

eBay allows 80 characters, which is the tightest limit of the major marketplaces. Optimlister writes to 80 rather than writing long and cutting, so no word is lost mid-phrase.

Why does eBay reject my listing for item specifics?

eBay requires certain aspects for each category and blocks publish when they are missing. Optimlister fills the required item specifics for your category, and when eBay asks for more the error names exactly which ones.

Can Optimlister publish to eBay automatically?

Not in the launch workflow. Optimlister gives you the reviewed eBay title, description and item specifics to copy, and you confirm Publish in eBay. Direct API publishing remains gated while approvals and validation are incomplete.

Can I move an eBay listing to Amazon or Etsy?

Yes. Optimlister reads the eBay listing and rewrites it for Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopify or TikTok Shop, in that marketplace's own voice and to its own limits, rather than copying the same text across.

Coming from, or going to, somewhere else

Pull a listing off eBay and we rewrite it for Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Shopify or TikTok Shop.
