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 don’t 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 with Poshmark and Mercari preselected, along with the category and condition already filled in.

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

Finally, give your template a descriptive name, then click the Save template button in the bottom-right corner.

You’ve now successfully created and saved a listing template.
