eBay settings - Sales platforms

You can select which eBay platforms your merchants can use to offer their products. Each country platform is displayed on the corresponding eBay country page. For example, the German eBay page can be reached at www.eBay.de and the page for the United Kingdom is at www.eBay.co.uk.
You can see the list of available platforms in the Sales Platforms tab. All supported eBay pages with their language and currency requirements are listed in the table. Next to that, you have an overview of the visible pages and to what degree individual countries have current catalogues.
If the flag for the country's name is in colour, the platform has been made visible and the merchants can create eBay accounts for it. If the symbol is grey, the page is not available for merchants.
Note: The sandbox is a test system that you can work with to test functions or get to know the system. You can also allow your merchants access to your test system. Let the merchants know, however, that it is only a test system.
You can run batch processing actions to process the table entries. For an introduction to this, see Batch processes in tables, above. The following actions can be performed:
