47 answers
Getting started
Read the full guideDo I need to connect eBay's API to use Ecomli?
No. Ecomli is non-API: it works through the eBay seller account already signed in to your desktop Chrome browser.
Which suppliers and marketplaces does Ecomli work with?
Ecomli sources from Amazon and AliExpress and sells on your eBay marketplace. eBay is its only selling channel.
Which features need my browser to be open?
Product Hunting, Create Listings, Stock Monitoring and AliExpress ordering require Chrome to remain open. Hourly ordering on Pro and Scale also needs eBay signed in and your computer awake; it creates unpaid orders, which you pay in AliExpress.
Is there an Ecomli mobile app?
Yes. The Ecomli app for iOS and Android lets you check your store dashboard, items, orders, profit digests and alerts from your phone. Creating listings, billing and connecting eBay stay on desktop.
How is Ecomli billed?
Monthly, in USD, billed upfront, with a 7-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment. You can cancel any time. Plans start at $29 a month.
Product Hunting
Read the full guideIs Product Hunting included on every plan?
Yes. Product Hunting is included on Starter, Pro and Scale.
Where can Product Hunting find products?
From an eBay seller's sold history or current listings, from Amazon keyword searches, Best Sellers, category, brand or store pages, and from an AliExpress store link you paste.
If another seller sells a product, will it sell for me?
Not necessarily. Product Hunting shows you evidence and a supplier match. Whether a product sells for you depends on your price, listing and market, so treat every pick as a test.
Can I send products straight to listing?
Yes. Send picks from Product Hunting to Create Listings, where Ecomli prepares the eBay listing with your pricing rules and templates.
Create Listings
Read the full guideDo I need to connect eBay's API?
No. Ecomli is non-API: it works through the eBay seller account already signed in to your desktop Chrome browser.
How many listings can I create each month?
Your plan sets monthly product imports: Starter 1,000, Pro 5,000 and Scale 10,000. Active listings are unlimited on every plan, and eBay's own selling limits still apply.
Are AI titles and descriptions required?
No. They are optional and are written from the supplier's product facts. You can list with your own wording instead.
Can Create Listings handle variations?
Yes. Variation listings are supported, and you can run up to 10 listings at a time.
Image & Description Templates
Read the full guideAre description templates included on every plan?
Yes. Description templates, including Dynamic Rotating, are included on Starter, Pro and Scale. Image templates are included on Pro and Scale.
Will Ecomli restyle my existing eBay listings?
No. Templates apply to listings Ecomli creates or relists. Ecomli does not restyle other existing listings or host images for them.
Do image templates create AI product photos?
No. Image templates arrange your supplier's product photo in a consistent layout. They do not generate new photos.
Stock Monitoring
Read the full guideHow often does Stock Monitoring check suppliers?
Checks run in your desktop browser while it is open, so how often they happen depends on when your browser is running. Ecomli does not promise a fixed interval.
What happens when a supplier runs out of stock?
Your out-of-stock rule decides: Ecomli either sets the eBay quantity to 0 or ends the listing, and restores your restock quantity when stock returns.
What if Ecomli can't read a supplier page?
The listing is held unchanged instead of being ended, and it shows up in the results for you to check.
Safety Shield
Read the full guideDoes Safety Shield guarantee my listings are allowed?
No. It is a checkpoint that screens for flagged brands and restricted items before publishing. You remain responsible for every listing, and eBay's policies still apply.
What does Safety Shield check?
The supplier product, the AI-written copy and the eBay draft, for flagged brands (VeRO-type rights-owner risk) and restricted items.
Can I change how strict it is?
Yes. Choose Soft, Balanced or Strong screening.
Auto Pruner
Read the full guideWhich plans include Auto Pruner?
Pro includes Basic Auto Pruner. Scale includes Advanced Auto Pruner with automatic relisting. Starter does not include Auto Pruner.
Does relisting keep the eBay item ID?
No. Relisted items get new eBay item IDs, so they do not carry the old listing's sales history.
Will it end a listing that just sold?
No. Listings with recent sales, or whose age Ecomli can't confirm, stay protected.
Does Auto Pruner run on a schedule?
No. You start each run with one click.
Orders & Auto Ordering
Read the full guideDoes Starter include Auto Ordering?
Yes: manual AliExpress batches. Scan eBay sales, review them and choose Start selected orders. Ecomli creates unpaid orders; you pay in AliExpress.
What does hourly ordering add?
Pro and Scale can opt into hourly checks for sales placed after activation. Chrome must remain open and signed into eBay. Orders are still created unpaid, never paid automatically.
What are buying limits?
A maximum purchase price and a maximum loss that each order must fit within. Orders outside your limits need manual handling.
Tracking Conversions
Read the full guideWhich tracking can Tracking Conversions handle?
Supported AliExpress tracking and Amazon TBA tracking numbers. Per store, you choose AliExpress local courier tracking or Aquiline for AliExpress parcels; Amazon TBA parcels convert through Aquiline.
How much do Aquiline credits cost?
Each conversion uses 1 credit. Credits come as 100 for $20 a month or as an instant 100-credit pack for $30, and they don't expire.
Does it work if I order from suppliers myself?
Yes. It covers supplier orders placed through Auto Ordering or recorded in Orders, including manual ordering on Starter.
Is tracking added the moment the parcel ships?
No. Ecomli adds the converted tracking to the eBay order after its automatic checks, so allow some time.
Auto Messages
Read the full guideWhich events can Auto Messages respond to?
Purchase, shipping and feedback events, with optional item ID or SKU conditions.
Who does Auto Messages skip?
Buyers with an open issue, an existing conversation, or feedback already left.
Will it get me more positive feedback?
It can't promise that. Feedback requests wait until after delivery and ask honestly; what buyers leave is up to them.
Profit & Loss Dashboard
Read the full guideWhat does the Overview dashboard include?
eBay sales, fees, Promoted Listings costs, refunds, supplier costs and recorded profit, by day or period, with previous-period comparisons and a daily chart.
How much history does it show?
It syncs the last 90 days of orders, and you can import older eBay CSV reports.
Why might my profit look higher than expected?
Profit is only as complete as the supplier costs recorded. Add any missing supplier costs to see the true figure.
Can I check my numbers on my phone?
Yes. The Ecomli mobile app for iOS and Android shows your dashboard, orders, profit digests and alerts. The full Overview dashboard is in the extension on desktop.
Migration
Read the full guideWhich tools can I migrate from?
AutoDS and EcomSniper directly, and any store through the eBay Active Listings CSV you download from Seller Hub.
Do my listings go offline during migration?
No. Your listings stay live on eBay throughout. Migration maps them to their suppliers so Ecomli can manage them.
What happens to rows Ecomli can't read?
They are held for review so you can add the Amazon or AliExpress link. Nothing is guessed.
Will Migration change how my listings look?
No. Migration does not restyle, re-template or re-host existing listings. Templates apply to listings Ecomli creates or relists.
eBay Accounts & VA Seats
Read the full guideHow many eBay accounts does each plan include?
Starter and Pro include 1 eBay account. Scale includes 3 eBay account seats. Extra seats are $10 a month each.
What can a VA do?
Workspace roles let a VA view or run tasks, using their own Ecomli login and the permissions you give them.
Are imports shared between accounts?
Yes. Monthly product imports are shared across the eBay accounts in your workspace.
