Using CSV file upload to ebay and need help with the field titles

I downloaded the premade format, but it's pretty basic with only a few fields premade and I looked around to try and find what the other fields were named so that I can make my csv file have every field already filled in and ready to go as soon as I upload it. the fields I'm struggling with are all the shipping settings and getting the check box for immediate payment to toggle on. any help would be appreciated as all the documentation google brings up is from 2015 and shocker they don't seem to work when I used what it said.

I did find the new listing template late and tried to use that, but it keeps running into an error when I try and upload it, and when I added the fields to use from the policy's to the old file they didn't work. I also couldn't get the category name to work as I tried every number and name I could find people saying for the category's on ebay but what should go in that field?

Hello @downbadstickers,

Are you using the Drafts template? The Drafts template has a limited number of fields that are available. For example, there are not fields for shipping, returns, or variations. The only fields I've been able to successfully add to the Drafts template are Item Specifics, for example:

C:Colour
C:Size
C:Manufacturer Part Number
etc.

If you do add additional columns for Item Specifics, be sure to not include as asterisk (*) in the header.

You might consider using the template for creating new listings. It has many more fields. If you use it and want to schedule your listings to start later, you could do that. You could then go the Scheduled section in Seller Hub and make any changes you want to the scheduled listings before they go live.

If you've opted into Business Policies and you've using the template for creating new listings, you would enter the name of your shipping policy in the ShippingProfileName column. If you've opted into Business Policies, you can find your business policies at:
