What Vendlists does on eBay.co.uk

For buyers on eBay.co.uk, Vendlists normally writes the title, description, condition notes and item specifics in English. It picks the category from eBay UK’s category tree and fills in the item specifics eBay UK asks for in that category.

Vendlists suggests three prices in pounds sterling. You set the final price, and nothing goes live at a price you did not choose.

Postage and policies on eBay UK

If your eBay account uses business policies, Vendlists uses the payment, postage and returns policies already on it and creates any that are missing. It creates a starter postage policy for eBay UK only if your items ship from the UK. You can change any of them on eBay at any time.

If your eBay account does not use business policies, Vendlists creates no policies. When your items ship from the UK, it publishes with the starter postage on the listing itself.

Either way, the starter postage on eBay UK is flat rate: every buyer in the UK sees the same postage cost, and you can change it on eBay.
