How to create listings
To create a listing in the app, go to the Selling page and select List an item. Beyond the usual features you would find on your laptop or desktop, you'll find some additional useful shortcuts:
- Scan your item's barcode to automatically add product details from our catalogue
- Snap photos and add them directly to your listing
Listings will sync across your devices, so you can start a listing on the app and finish it on your laptop or desktop, or vice versa.
Tip
You'll need to accept PayPal as a payment method for listings you create with the mobile app.

Troubleshooting on the eBay app

- Photos won't upload: Try rebooting your mobile device. If that doesn't solve the issue, uninstall and then reinstall the app
- Can't log in with your eBay username or password: Double-check that your information is being entered correctly. Autofill and autocorrect can sometimes enter things you weren't intending
