Flow Lister for eBay FAQs: setup, credits, filters, and errors

Flow Lister is DropFlowLister's bulk listing tool, built to help you list at scale. For each supplier link you paste, it reads the supplier page, checks your filters, can rewrite the title and description with AI, builds images from your template, sets your price, and submits the eBay listing. Flow Lister also has a Poshmark version.

Flow Lister accepts product links from Amazon, AliExpress, and Walmart, one per line. Amazon is a supported supplier for sourcing; Amazon as a place to sell is in development. Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Home Depot aren't supported yet.

Flow Lister lists to the eBay site set in the popup under eBay Settings → Region Settings, and the choices today are the United States and Canada. More eBay regions are in progress.

Yes. Flow Lister fills in eBay's own listing form in your browser, so you must be signed in to your eBay seller account in the same Chrome profile.

Apply locks in the store and template for the run. Flow Lister won't start until you click it, and you must click it again after any change.

This message means Flow Lister doesn't have a confirmed store and template. Pick both, click Apply, and press Start again.

Flow Lister adds your markup to the supplier cost, then sets the cents to your Price Ending (99 by default). Default Markup % applies to everything, Variable Supplier Markup can set a different markup per supplier, and Variable Markup by Cost bands override both when the cost matches. Your selling price is worked out and applied to every product before the listing goes live, so you don't price each product by hand.

Min Price and Max Price skip products whose supplier cost is outside that range (defaults $0 and $100). Quantity sets the stock on each listing (default 1). Ad Rate % sets eBay's promoted listing ad rate (default 4%), which eBay charges, not DropFlowLister.

With AI Title & Description Optimization on, the DropFlowLister AI writes the title and description and fills item specifics, and it still uses 1 credit per listing. With it off, Flow Lister lists with the supplier's data and uses 1 credit per product. The AI writes titles and descriptions for e-commerce, with relevant keywords, within the marketplace's character limits.

Start with 1 thread to check your settings, then try 2 or 3 if things run smoothly. More threads list faster but are more likely to trigger supplier bot checks.

Max Listings stops a run after that many successful listings, and 0 means no limit. The cap only works when Enable Max Listings Limit is on, and Flow Lister warns you with Max Listings Limit Is Off if you set a number but leave the toggle off.

Start Position tells Flow Lister which link to start from. Use it to continue a long list after a stop instead of starting again at the top.

Before each run, Flow Lister checks your links against the products already listed for the selected store. Matches are removed from the queue and cost 0 credits.

VERO Brand Protection skips products from brands on the VeRO list. VERO Keyword Protection skips products whose title has a VeRO keyword and merges those keywords into the restricted words check.

Stock Check (skip Out of Stock) skips products that are out of stock at the supplier. For AliExpress, low-stock items are also skipped based on the Safe Mode setting in the popup's eBay Settings.

Amazon Seller Restriction lists Amazon products only when Amazon is both the shipper and the seller, and it's on by default. FBA Only, also on by default, lists Amazon products only when they're Fulfilled by Amazon. Chinese Sellers Only (EU), off by default, lists only products from China-based sellers, for stores that sell to EU buyers.

Some Walmart items offer local Delivery, which doesn't come with a tracking number. This toggle, on by default, skips those items so every order can be tracked.

In the popup under eBay Settings, Max Delivery Time (days) skips AliExpress items with a longer delivery estimate (default 10, max 90). Safe Mode off skips items with 2–5 left but lists items with 1 left, and Safe Mode on skips anything with 5 or fewer.

GPSR is the EU product safety information eBay asks for on some listings. Turn on Add GPSR to add this product safety information to your listings. It's off by default.

Use Template Description, on by default, wraps each description in your saved description template. Close Errored Listings, also on by default, closes a listing tab that hits an error, so the run moves on to the next product.

Run in Separate Window opens listing tabs in their own Chrome window so Flow Lister doesn't take over your keyboard. You can put other windows in front of it, but don't cover it completely or minimize it.

In Shipping Policies, pick one eBay policy for AliExpress, Amazon, and Walmart, or click Add to create one. If your queue has a supplier with no policy, the Missing Shipping Policies box lets you go back or click Continue Anyway to use eBay's default.

Amazon Cooldown Active means Amazon is slowing down requests, so Flow Lister waits before it continues. End & Pause ends the wait and pauses the run so you can change settings, then you resume when ready. A cooldown usually lasts 1 to 3 minutes.

eBay saves a draft when required item specifics are missing, which is an eBay rule. The credit for that product is refunded, and you can finish the draft in eBay.

Each skip reason names the filter the product failed, such as a skip keyword, a VeRO brand, low stock, or slow delivery. See the skip table in Flow Lister for eBay: troubleshooting.

Retry Skips tries every skipped and unlisted product once more, adds successes to Listed, and removes anything that fails again. Copy Unlisted copies every link that isn't listed so you can save or reuse it.

Click Status Report under the Product Links box. It opens a full report of the current session.

Your balance reached 0, so the run stopped. Add credits, then continue from the next link with Start Position or Retry Skips. To get more, upgrade your plan or buy a one-time credit pack (see https://dropflowlister.com/pricing/).

The supplier page didn't show a price Flow Lister could read, often because the item is unavailable. Open the link to check it, then retry or remove it.

"No valid size" means no size passed your variation filters for price difference and delivery days. "Sizes could not be verified" means the size data couldn't be read, so try again later.

First check your eBay drafts and active listings so you don't list the product twice. Then use Retry Skips, and try fewer threads if it keeps happening.

Yes, Skip Keywords is a free-text list with one word per line. Load Defaults adds the built-in list, which includes words like "refurbished", "renewed", and "used".

Yes. Flow Lister applies the image template you picked to the supplier's photos for every listing, so your listings get consistent, branded images without design software. You can also turn on AI Image Enhancement. Flow Lister uses the supplier's photos rather than creating new product photos.

Yes. Flow Lister lists products with variations, such as size and color. With Enable Variation Filtering on, it leaves out variations that cost too much more than the base price or arrive too slowly.
