Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is Boost My Listings?
Boost My Listings is a DropFlowLister dashboard that automates eBay Seller Hub tasks. It can relist low performers, turn Best Offer on or off, send offers, end VeRO-risk and duplicate listings, and run some tasks on a schedule.
Which eBay sites does Boost My Listings support?
The eBay Region menu in Boost My Listings lists ebay.com, .ca, .co.uk, .com.au, .de, .fr, .it, .es, and .nl, but DropFlowLister supports only eBay US and Canada today. More eBay regions are in progress.
Do I need to keep the Boost My Listings tab open?
Yes, keep the dashboard tab open while a workflow runs, because closing it pauses auto-repeat. Scheduled runs are different: they run from the extension's background, so the dashboard can be closed.
What does End & Sell Similar do, and why use it?
End & Sell Similar ends low-performing eBay listings and relists them with eBay's Sell similar, so they get a fresh listing date. Sellers use it to give stale listings a new start.
How do I set the End & Sell Similar filters?
Click the gear on the End & Sell Similar card. Set Max Sold (default 0), Max Views (30d) (default 1000), and Hours Left ≤ (default 0, which means ignore). Only listings that pass the filters are ended and relisted.
Which Seller Hub columns should I turn on for Boost My Listings?
In Seller Hub → Listings → Active, click Customize and show Views (30 days), Item number, Sold quantity, Available quantity, and Time left. Duplicate Cleaner also needs Custom label (SKU).
Does End & Sell Similar keep watchers, sales history, or promoted settings?
End & Sell Similar creates new listings through eBay's Sell similar, so the new listings start fresh. Each new listing gets a new item ID, and watchers and sales history don't carry over.
What should I do when End & Sell Similar says none of the items appeared on the Ended page after 5 minutes?
eBay hasn't shown the ended items on its Ended page yet. Wait a few minutes and run End & Sell Similar again.
What does Bulk Revise do?
Bulk Revise changes the Best Offer setting on every active listing. Choose Turn Off Offers, Turn On Offers, or Off Then On, then click Revise Listings.
What should I do when Bulk Revise says "Bulk revise timed out — check the eBay tab"?
Look at the eBay tab for a sign-in prompt or error, close it, and click Revise Listings again. If it keeps happening, turn on Debug mode and send the result to support.
What does Send Offers do in Boost My Listings?
Send Offers sends promotional offers to buyers interested in your listings at the Offer Percent you set. You can add an optional note of up to 500 characters in Send Offers — message to buyers.
How does Send Offers auto-run work, and why does it pause during other workflows?
Turn on Auto-run every and pick an interval from 2 minutes (for testing) to 4 hours, and Send Offers runs in a background tab. Because two workflows driving Seller Hub at once can break each other, auto-run is paused while End & Sell Similar or Bulk Revise runs.
Why does Send Offers say "Offers could not be sent" or "Send Offers timed out"?
eBay didn't show the send-offer option, there were no eligible listings, or the page was too slow. Which listings can receive offers is decided by eBay. Check the eBay tab and try again later.
What does Listing Sanitizer do?
Listing Sanitizer scans your live eBay titles for words on the VeRO keyword list that Flow Lister uses, then lets you end the matches. It doesn't check brand names; brands are checked when you list.
How do I review, keep, or end flagged listings in Listing Sanitizer?
After Scan Store, click Review results. Tick rows and choose End Selected or End All Flagged, or click Keep so a listing isn't flagged again. Click Export CSV to save the list.
How do I fix "VeRO keyword list not loaded yet"?
Open the eBay Flow Lister and click Refresh from Server to load the VeRO lists. Then run Scan Store again in Boost My Listings.
What does VeRO Checker do, and what is reported to DropFlowLister?
VeRO Checker opens your eBay listings on hold for policy violations. For each one it sends the item number, title, violation text, and supplier link to DropFlowLister to improve the shared VeRO list, and then ends those listings.
Is "No violations found on the policy-hold page" normal?
Yes. VeRO Checker shows this when none of your listings are on hold for a policy violation.
How do I fix "Could not find DropFlow login session"?
Open the DropFlowLister popup in the same browser and sign in, then click Run VeRO Check again.
What does Duplicate Cleaner do, and which listing does it keep?
Duplicate Cleaner groups listings that share a SKU and keeps the one with the most sales, views, and watchers. It shows a preview, and only ends the others after you click Confirm & End All.
How does "Scan first N pages" work in Boost My Listings?
Scan first N pages limits Listing Sanitizer or Duplicate Cleaner to that many Seller Hub pages. Enter 0 to scan your whole store. Duplicate Cleaner starts at 1 page and Listing Sanitizer at 0.
Can I undo listings that Boost My Listings ended?
Boost My Listings can't restore ended listings. To bring an item back, relist it from Seller Hub → Listings → Ended on eBay.
How do I schedule End & Sell Similar and Bulk Revise?
Click Configure next to Schedule. For each workflow, tick Enable, set Start Time (24h), and choose Repeat Every (1 to 24 hours).
What happens if two Boost My Listings schedules fire at the same time?
End & Sell Similar runs first, and Bulk Revise waits until it finishes. The two can't run at the same time.
Does a Boost My Listings schedule run if the dashboard is closed?
Yes. Schedules run from the extension's background, so the dashboard tab can be closed. Chrome must be open and your computer awake at the scheduled time. Schedules use your computer's local time zone.
What does Debug mode do in Bulk Revise?
Debug mode shows a floating status badge on the eBay tab and writes detailed steps to the browser console. Use it only when support asks for details.
Why must I verify Duplicate Cleaner results before closing?
Some groups may not have ended fully. Any group still showing END or ⚠ Retry wasn't finished, so re-run it before you click I've Verified — Close.
What should I do about "Tab failed to load after N reloads"?
The eBay tab didn't load after several tries. Check your internet connection and that eBay loads normally, then run the workflow again.
