Important

Names of attribute groups, combinations are based on in PrestaShop, can’t be identical to some eBay specifics name. Try to use unique attribute names, for example “shoes color” instead of “color” simply
specifics marked with asterisk are required and should be mapped either with your store database fields or with eBay ones
if you map specifics with some of PrestaShop fields, and currently exported products don’t have value assigned for these fields, product export will not be accomplished successfully
attributes, used for product variations shouldn’t be mapped with specifics, as they are detected automatically

Set export methods and options. Export methods allow you to create new eBay products, update existing active items or relist inactive ones. If you export new products from PrestaShop to eBay, enable “Create new eBay items” method.
