Add support for ebay customization
Ebay offers sellers the ability to customize products. Typically this is embroidery, 3d printing and engraving. This is a higher value niche for made-to-order work flows.
Ebay supports this natively in their own listing interface as a toggle and a text field. I’d like it in WP-Lister for ebay.

Hi Brian.
WP-Lister does not currently support eBay’s native Customization feature (the toggle under Attributes > More that lets buyers submit personalization instructions at checkout). This is an eBay-side feature that their own listing interface exposes, but it’s not part of the data WP-Lister sends when creating or updating listings via the API. So there’s no way to enable or manage it through WP-Lister at this time.
For sellers handling customizable products, the practical options are:
Create the listing manually on eBay with the Customization toggle enabled, and let orders flow through. The customization field does come through in the order data, which is a nice workflow. The tradeoff is that the listing lives outside WP-Lister’s management, so you won’t get stock sync or price updates pushed to it automatically.
One other option, could you list the item to eBay with WP-Lister, edit the customizable options directly on eBay, then update the listing from WP-Lister and see if the customization data is removed? If not, you are good to use that work flow, if yes, then you can always lock your listings in WP-Lister so that no content outside the price and or stock is updated by WP-Lister.
We don’t have a timeline on adding support for eBay’s Customization feature, mainly because hardly anyone has asked for it before. But you are the second person in the last couple months who has asked. So I have approved this feature request. If we see more users request/vote on this request, we will look to implement support.
Kind regards,
John
