Write your listing title and description once, with blanks that AIM fills in per product, instead of retyping them for every pair. Where to find it: Open Listing Templates in AIM — you will be asked to sign in first.

What you can do here

  • Write one title and description that works for hundreds of products
  • Use variables as blanks — the product name, brand, SKU, and size get filled in automatically
  • Limit a template to certain brands, product types, or conditions
  • Set a default template so anything without a specific one still gets sensible copy
  • Review and queue one template across selected Shopify stores and eBay accounts

How to: Write your first listing template

  1. Give it a name and choose the Platform Type.
  2. Click “Start from an example” so you have a working template to edit.
  3. Replace the wording with your own, keeping the variables where product details belong.
  4. Check the preview underneath — it shows the template filled in with real product details.
  5. Tick “Set as default template” if this is the one that should cover everything else.
  6. Save.
A template reading “{brand} {product_name} — Size {size}” comes out as “Nike Dunk Low Panda — Size 10.5” on the actual listing.

How to: Use different wording for pre-owned pairs

  1. Create a second template named something like “Pre-owned”.
  2. Write the copy with the condition wording you want buyers to see.
  3. Under Settings, set the Condition Filter to your pre-owned condition.
  4. Leave “Set as default template” unticked — the default stays your general one.
  5. Save. Pre-owned products now use this template and everything else keeps the default.
Your standard template says “Brand new, deadstock”. The pre-owned one says “Worn, see photos — box included” so buyers are not surprised.

How to: Bulk-apply a template to provider accounts

  1. From Listing Templates settings, click “Fan out templates”.
  2. Choose the template, explicit Shopify stores or eBay accounts, output fields, and any product filters.
  3. Click “Create dry-run plan” and review the provider-target rows before approving anything.
  4. Type the exact confirmation phrase, add an approval reason, set the failure-rate cap, and click “Approve and queue writes”.
  5. Watch the run status until the provider writes finish. The workflow changes title and description only; inventory and publication state are untouched.
Use a pre-owned template for a selected set of products, review every Shopify or eBay target, then approve the exact plan once the rows look right.

Good to know

  • Check the preview before saving. It shows the template filled in with a real product, which is the only reliable way to spot a variable in the wrong place.
  • Keep one default template. Without it, products that match no template get listed with empty copy.
  • A template controls what a listing says. Where it gets listed is Listing Rules, and what it costs is Pricing Rules.
