Listings refresh

Re-scrape Amazon, revise eBay prices, end out-of-stock listings, and optionally polish copy with AI — all from the Listings screen.

What it does

The Listings screen manages inventory already posted through Discover & Post. Each row comes from your local config.json catalog (item ID, Amazon URL, pricing metadata).

When you Refresh checked, DroboAI re-scrapes Amazon, compares the live price to your target eBay price, and revises listings — or ends them when Amazon stays unavailable (if Auto-end OOS is on).

Prerequisites

  • Auto-Pilot or Enterprise plan
  • Session connected — Chrome open and signed into eBay
  • At least one listing in config.json from a prior upload run

Listing backup (cloud)

Listing rows are backed up to the cloud under your eBay account name, not your Drobo login. That means the same inventory follows you across PCs and Drobo accounts — anyone who signs into that eBay seller account on Desktop can pull the same backup.

On the Listings screen, the Listing backup banner shows how many rows are stored in the cloud vs locally. Use Pull backup anytime to download rows into local config.json.

  • Auto-restore — if you are signed into eBay but have zero local rows, Desktop checks for a cloud backup and pulls it automatically.
  • Auto-sync — after refresh or upload, local changes are pushed to the cloud backup for that eBay account.
  • New machine — install Desktop, sign into eBay, open Listings, and click Pull backup (or wait for auto-restore).

Counts are always listing rows (one per eBay item), not storage chunks. Large accounts may use chunked storage on the server, but the app only shows row totals.

Legacy cloud config import

Older builds stored config per Drobo user. If you still see a legacy “cloud config” banner, use Pull backup on the new banner instead — it uses the unified eBay-account store.

Sync settings

The Listings toolbar mirrors key defaults from Settings. Before your first refresh, confirm:

  • Min profit % — floor margin after fees
  • Amazon retries — attempts before treating a product as unavailable
  • Promoted listings + ad rate — optional promoted fee on revise
  • Auto-end OOS — end the eBay listing when Amazon stays out of stock
  • AI title + description — GPT rewrites truncated titles or empty descriptions during refresh (toggle is on this screen, not Settings)

Toolbar actions

  • Reload — reload rows from local config
  • Refresh checked — run sync for selected listings
  • Override — apply toolbar Profit %, Promo %, or Ad % to every checked row instead of per-row saved pricing
  • All / None / Delete — select rows or remove them from local config (they can reappear on cloud pull)
  • Speed — parallel threads (1–5); lower is gentler on Amazon rate limits
  • Stop — abort an in-progress refresh

Reading the table

Columns include eBay item ID (opens listing), Amazon price, current eBay price, target price, planned action, and status badges (success, warning, failed).

Typical outcomes: price revised · skipped (already at target) · failed (session or scrape error) · auto-ended when OOS.

Keep Chrome open during refresh — the app uses your live eBay session the same way as Upload and Orders.
