"List With Popular Options" is Sure to Be Popular!

I love buying things on eBay. To spend a moment here and there looking around to see what's new and what's cool--ah! Place a bid. Buy It Now. It's both easy and fun.

I love selling on eBay, too. In fact, nearly half of my 860+ feedback is from selling and I think it's quite fun to watch that money come in to my PayPal account! But if you're a casual seller like me, I'm sure you'll agree that selling is not something you can do in just a moment here and there--right? Guess again!

Give a listen to this video by Mike Maffeo, one of our product managers on the Selling team. Very soon - if you want to - you'll be able to list with a one-page form, needing only to fill in the fields associated with the most common options. We pre-fill many fields for you (such as setting your auction starting price at $0.99), but if you don't like the way we fill in the blanks, you can easily change them.

Now, this is totally your choice. You can continue to list with the standard Sell Your Item form if you'd like. In fact, for many sellers, Sell Your Item will remain the listing form of choice since it makes all features available to you. But if "a quicker and easier way to list" is a phrase that catches your attention, try out our simplified listing form. We've actually already launched this on a few of our international sites, and you can read some of the impressions in Tamebay, a blog that closely monitors what we're up to.

We're going to roll this out slowly, so only about 40-50% of sellers might see this option at first. We're then looking to make it available to all sellers roughly a month later. To find it once it's available, click Sell in the header of any eBay page, just as you usually do, then select "list with popular options."

Happy selling!
