Creating a listing template

If you sell items with common characteristics, setting up listing templates can save you time and effort.

Listing templates allow you to pre-fill parts of the listing form, so you do not have to start from scratch every time you create a new listing.

For example, if you frequently list Men’s T-shirts on Poshmark and Mercari in excellent condition, you could create a template called T-shirts Mercari/Poshmark.

This template would have Poshmark and Mercari preselected, along with the category and condition already filled in.

This feature is a great time-saver for many users. To create and use a listing template, follow the steps below.
