eBay start time scheduling is a new feature in Eselt. It lets you choose when your eBay listing should go live.
This means you do not have to publish a listing right away. You can prepare it in Eselt, check everything, and then choose a start time. eBay will start the listing later at the time you selected.
What is eBay start time scheduling?
With eBay start time scheduling, you decide when your listing should start. You can choose a specific date and time before sending the listing to eBay.
This is useful when you want to prepare your work in advance. For example, you may want to create listings during the day, but let them go live in the evening. Or you may want to prepare several products at once and schedule them for later.
In Eselt, you can now do this directly while creating or sending your listing to eBay.
Why is this useful?
Sometimes you do not want an eBay listing to start immediately. Maybe you want it to go live at a better time, during the weekend, or together with a planned promotion.
Without scheduling, you would need to be at your computer at the right moment. With the new start time option in Eselt, you can set everything up earlier and let the listing start automatically.
This makes your work easier, especially if you list many products or prepare your listings in batches.
A simple example
Let’s say you prepare a few new products on Monday morning. But you want these listings to start at 7 PM, because that is when more buyers may be active.
Instead of waiting until the evening, you prepare the listings in Eselt right away. When you send them to eBay, you choose the planned start time.
The listings will then not go live immediately. They will start later at the time you selected.
How does it work in Eselt?
You prepare your product in Eselt as usual. Before sending it to eBay, you can activate the start time scheduling option and choose a date and time.

Eselt then sends this information together with the listing data to eBay. The listing starts only at the planned time.
Who should use this feature?
eBay start time scheduling is useful for sellers who want more control over their listings.
It can help when you work with new products, auctions, seasonal items, promotions, or larger groups of listings. You can prepare everything calmly, check your data, and still decide exactly when the listing should go live.
The new start time scheduling feature is now available in Eselt.
