Create a Listing
Updated over a week ago

Welcome to Foxtail! This article will review how to create a listing using the Foxtail app. You can choose between creating your listing manually or using AI to speed up the process.

Listing Basics

Begin by visiting the Listings tab in Foxtail. Click the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner to begin.

Choose Create listing.

Marketplaces

On the first page of listing creation, select the desired marketplace(s) where you would like to post your item(s):

If you do not see the marketplace(s) where you would like to post, you will need to connect your marketplace account. To do so, visit our article Connecting Your Marketplace Accounts.

Photos

You can add and edit photos in Foxtail. Begin by clicking the Add Photos button.

Foxtail users can upload up to 24 photos per listing. However, it's important to note that each marketplace comes with its own photo upload limitations. If you exceed these limits, only the allowed number of photos will be displayed on the platform. To learn more about photo limitations for each marketplace, please consult our article: How Many Photos Can I Upload?

Select photos to add to your listing. When ready, click the Add button to upload these photos to Foxtail.

You can select which of your photos will be the covershot. A covershot is the primary image that represents the item being sold. It is the first and most prominent photo that potential buyers see when they view your listing.

To edit photos, simply click on the photo itself. You can crop, resize, tilt, and rotate photos along with applying a variety of filters. When you are happy with your image, click the yellow checkmark in the upper right-hand corner to continue.

Title Info

Next, fill in your item's price, quantity, and title. You can choose to save a draft of your listing at any time. Choose Continue to move on to the Marketplace-specific criteria for your post.

Choose How to Create Your Listing

You can autofill marketplace information using AI or enter details manually. See below for instructions for each.

Autofill Listing Details using AI

Marketplace Specifics

When choosing autofill, Foxtail's AI will generate marketplace-specific criteria for each platform such as your item's category, weight, color, and condition. A description and tags for your item will also be generated.

Note: if you're just getting started with Autofill, you may want to set defaults such as shipping preference. To learn more, visit our article: Editing Crosslisting Defaults

Editing

Keep in mind that AI-generated content may not always be perfect, so we encourage users to review before publishing.

Posting

When your listing is ready, choose Post to publish your listing on the marketplaces of your choice.

Create Your Listing Manually

Marketplace Specifics

On the second page of listing creation, fill in marketplace-specific criteria for each platform where you want to post your listing. Each marketplace is different and may require information like your item's category, weight, color, and condition.

Additional Info

The Additional Info section contains your Description and Tags.

Description

You can create a description for your item manually, using AI-generated content, or a combination of both. Keep in mind that AI-generated content may not always be perfect, so we encourage users to review it. You can manually edit all AI-generated content, or hit the Clear button to start over.

Please note: descriptions must be a minimum of 5 words.

Tags

You can create tags for your posting manually, using AI-generated content, or both. To manually create or change tags, click the right arrow button.

After adding any tags manually, be sure to hit the return key to finish creating your new tag.

Posting

You can choose to save a draft of your listing at any time. Otherwise, choose Post to publish your listing on the marketplaces of your choice.

Editing A Listing

You can edit an active listing at any time.

If you want to crosslist multiple posts to new marketplaces, check our our article on the Bulk Crosslisting tool.

To edit a single listing, simply on the three dots by the listing you'd like to edit.

Choose the Edit active listing option to proceed.
