FLIPPER+Included in Flipper and Dealer · free in the 5-day trial Publish to eBay: AI writes the listing, you check it, it goes live
You scanned it, you bought it — now sell it. Tap 🛒 Publish on eBay on any item in your profit dashboard, answer three quick questions — condition, does it work, what is included — and AI writes the whole eBay listing from your answers, photo and scan, in the language of your eBay site, and fills in the brand and item specifics eBay asks for. You see exactly what buyers will see, change anything you like, save it as a draft — and put it live with one tap.
How it works
Connect your eBay accountMenu → Settings → eBay → Connect your eBay account. You sign in on eBay itself; FlipTip never sees your password. If your eBay account already has a ship-from address, FlipTip takes it from there.
Scan and buyEvery scan lands in your profit dashboard with the photo, the brand and the model it recognised.
Tap Publish on eBay, answer 3 questionsCondition, does it work, what is included (and anything buyers should know). Then AI writes a search-friendly title (up to 80 characters), a real description and the item specifics — brand, type, model — in the language of your eBay site, and picks an eBay category. Only real facts, no gaps left for you to fill in.
Get the photos right — edited inside the appRemove photos, add more from your phone, choose the main one, or turn any photo into a clean white-background product shot with one tap. In the scanner, ✨ Enhance fixes light and colour of the photo you scanned with — no second photo app needed.
Check what is flaggedRed means eBay would refuse the listing, yellow means take a look. Only the conditions eBay allows in that category are offered, and you can change every field.
Save a draft, then publishThe default is 📝 Save as eBay draft — nothing goes live. When it looks right, 🚀 Publish now puts it on eBay and the item moves to For sale in your dashboard.
What you get
- AI-written eBay listing — title, description, brand and item specifics from your photo and scan, in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Dutch, depending on your eBay site.
- See it before eBay does — photos, title, description, category, condition, item specifics, price, shipping, payment and returns in one screen, all editable.
- Draft first — nothing goes live until you tap Publish now.
- Photos your way — up to 12: add, remove, pick the main one, and make a white-background version for the main photo.
- Photo editing inside the app — one-tap light and colour fix and an AI white background with a soft shadow; the item keeps its real colours, text and wear. Save the edited photo to your phone for any other marketplace too.
- Only conditions eBay accepts — the condition list comes from eBay for the chosen category, so the one you pick is one eBay takes.
- Item specifics filled in — the brand from the label or the product line, plus the type, model and character eBay asks for; anything left neutral is marked for you to check.
- Category suggestions from eBay — pick another one and its item specifics and conditions update at once.
- Clear messages — when eBay refuses something, you see eBay's own words and what to do, not an error code.
- Price stays in step — change the asking price in your dashboard and the eBay listing follows.
- Sales come in by themselves — when it sells on eBay the item is marked sold with the sale price and date, and your profit is updated.
- End a listing any time; the item stays in your dashboard and you can publish it again.
- Official eBay APIs only — you connect with eBay's own sign-in and can disconnect whenever you like.
Listing on eBay takes longer than finding the item: retyping the title, hunting for the category, guessing which item specifics eBay wants, cropping photos and fixing the errors eBay sends back. FlipTip does that groundwork with what it already knows from your scan, and the preview shows every field before it reaches eBay — so the listing goes up the first time.
Compared with listing in the eBay app, you start from a finished listing instead of an empty form: the AI has already written the text, filled the item specifics and chosen the category, and the photo you scanned with is already attached. You only check, adjust and publish.
Works on 13 eBay sites: eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de, eBay.fr, eBay.it, eBay.es, eBay.nl, eBay.at, eBay.be, eBay.ch, eBay.ie, eBay.ca and eBay.com.au, for sellers in those countries (and in Luxembourg, Portugal and New Zealand, through their neighbouring eBay site). Prices are in the currency of the site you sell on. Publishing to eBay is included in the Flipper and Dealer plans; eBay charges its usual selling fees.
Questions
Does the AI write the eBay listing for me?
Yes. In the eBay preview tap Answer 3 quick questions — condition, does it work, what is included — and AI writes the title, the description and the item specifics from your answers, photo and scan, in the language of your eBay site. It never leaves "[fill in]" gaps. It names the brand from the label, the logo or the product line. You can change every word before it goes to eBay.
Is every listing saved as a draft first?
Yes, that is the default: 📝 Save as eBay draft puts the listing on your eBay account without listing it, so buyers can't see it yet. You can change it and save again, publish it with one tap, or delete the draft.
Can I change the photos or get a white background?
Yes. In the preview you can remove photos, add up to 12 from your phone, choose the main photo, and turn any photo into a clean white-background product shot with one tap — the look that sells best on eBay.
Do I need a separate photo editing app?
No. Photos are edited inside FlipTip: ✨ Enhance fixes light and colour on your phone, and 🖼️ White background puts the item on a clean studio background with AI (up to 20 a day). The AI keeps the item exactly as it is, and you can save the result to your phone. Photo editing comes with Starter, Hustler, Flipper and Dealer; publishing to eBay with Flipper and Dealer.
Do I need an eBay seller account?
Yes — an eBay account that is set up for selling, with a way to get paid. If it isn't yet, FlipTip tells you and links to the page on eBay where you finish it; your listing waits as a draft.
Does FlipTip see my eBay password?
No. You sign in on eBay and allow FlipTip to manage your listings through eBay's official connection. You can disconnect in Settings at any time; your listings on eBay stay as they are.
Which eBay sites can I sell on?
eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de, eBay.fr, eBay.it, eBay.es, eBay.nl, eBay.at, eBay.be, eBay.ch, eBay.ie, eBay.ca and eBay.com.au. Your site follows your country, and you can change it in Settings. In countries without eBay, FlipTip writes the listing for your local marketplaces instead.
Where does the ship-from address come from?
From your eBay account when it already has one; otherwise you enter the postal code once. eBay needs it to show buyers the shipping cost, and you can change it in the preview at any time.
What about shipping and returns?
FlipTip uses your eBay business policies for shipping, payment and returns and shows them in the preview. On eBay.com, if you ship from the US and have none yet, FlipTip creates simple ones (flat-rate shipping, 30-day returns) that you can change on eBay. Elsewhere you set them up once in My eBay → Account → Business policies.
What happens when it sells?
FlipTip checks your eBay orders and marks the item sold in your dashboard with the sale price and date, so your profit and reports are up to date without typing anything.
Can I change the price after publishing?
Yes. Change the asking price in your dashboard and the new price goes to eBay too. You can also end the listing from the dashboard.
Can I change the title, description or photos of a live listing?
Yes — tap ✍️ Edit listing on the item. You see what is on eBay now (also for listings you imported from eBay), change the title, description, photos and item specifics, or let ✨ Write with AI rewrite it, and Save to eBay updates the listing at once. A description with its own eBay template stays as it is unless you edit it.
Does the AI writing use a scan?
Writing a listing with AI uses one of your scans, only when you tap Write with AI; opening the preview, or a listing it already wrote, is free. With no scans left you write the title and description yourself.
