01Step 1: Item

Give the item a reference and fill in your team’s fields. Your photos go on the right and stay visible through every step.

The Create capture page: Choose New Capture in the sidebar. The form on the left takes you through three steps (Item, Details and Review), and your photos sit on the right the whole time.
SKURequired: Your own reference for this item. Use any name or number you haven’t used before, type it in or scan a barcode into the field. Superlister warns you if the SKU is already in use.
Field automation matchIf set up: If the SKU matches one of your Field Automations, Superlister shows which rule matched and highlights the part of the SKU it recognised. The fields that automation sets are filled in for you.
Dispatch from: The dispatch location this item ships from. Add and manage locations in Settings › Dispatch Locations.
Remote scanner: Turn this on to use your phone as a barcode scanner. Anything you scan on the phone goes straight into the SKU field on this screen.
Your team’s fieldsIf set up: Custom fields your workspace tracks, set up in Settings › Field Customization. Required fields are marked and must be filled in before you continue. Optional fields stay folded away until you need them.
PhotosRequired: Drag photos onto the panel or click + to choose them. By default you need at least 5 and can add up to 20. The counter stays red until you have enough. The first photo is the main image. Drag to reorder, and hover a photo to crop it.
Mode: Photo modes are sets of photo rules, such as how many photos are needed, that admins create in Settings › Photos & Modes. Leave this on Workspace defaults unless your team uses a mode for this kind of item.
Continue: Moves on to Details once the SKU, required fields and photos are in place. The note beside the button tells you what’s still missing. Press Enter as a shortcut.

02Step 2: Details

Add anything the photos can’t show. Everything here is optional unless it’s marked.

Suggested detailsIf enabled: Superlister looks at your photos and asks a few quick questions about things it can’t see, like missing accessories or whether the item works. Answer or skip each one. Your answers feed into the listing.
Additional detailsOptional: Anything the photos can’t show, such as measurements, materials or defects. Superlister takes it into account when it writes the listing. Notes you’ve used recently appear underneath, so you can reuse one with a click.
Image orderIf enabled: With automatic image ordering on, AI picks the main image and the order of your photos for the listing. Turn it off to keep your photos in the order shown on the right.
eBay categoryOptional: Leave this blank and AI chooses the best category from your photos. Only set it if you already know exactly where the item belongs.

03Step 3: Review

Check everything, then create the capture.

Review: A summary of everything you’ve entered. Use Edit item or Edit details to jump back and change something.
Postage policy: Your team’s default postage policy applies unless you choose Change and pick a different one for this item. This shows once an eBay account is connected.
Auto-schedule on QC approval: On: once this listing is approved in quality control, it follows your team’s auto-scheduling rules. Off: approval holds it for you to submit to eBay yourself. This locks after the first QC approval or rejection.
Advanced: Preferences for this page in this browser. For example, start a new capture straight after creating one, switch image ordering on by default, or remove the main image’s background.
Create capture: Creates the capture and starts writing the listing, which uses one listing credit. Review and publishing then follow your team’s settings.
