eBay does not allow to list new products with 0 quantity. In this case, you can list such products with 1 quantity (of any variant) and after that update the inventory of these products to 0 using the “Revise Products” cron in our module.
Please refer “Revise Products” section in the user manual.

You can set the format of the product description in eBay Magento2 Integration Module. You can also optimize the product title while listing products on eBay.
For example, if we need to add a product title in starting of every description then we can use {product_title} placeholder in the template and then {long_description}.

{product_title}: To use the product title of the product in the description
{reference}: To use the reference of product in the description
8- Can we use images in the Product Description Template?

9- How to handle eBay Selling limitation?
On eBay, there is a selling limitation on the total pricing of the products which can be listed. To handle this scenario, we can list products with minimum quantity, so that when any product is sold we increase the inventory back to that minimum quantity.
In the Profile Management section, eBay Magento2 Integrator has an “Alter Quantity field”. If we use 5 in this field and have 10 quantities of a product in Prestashop then the system will send 5 quantities for that product and in the case product quantity is less than 5 then the system will send that quantity as is to eBay.
Please refer “Profiles Management” section in the user manual of the link below:
10- How can I set a different price on eBay Marketplace than our Magento2 store?
Price management functionality provides an option to control prices (higher or lesser) of products on eBay Marketplace. There are eBay merchants who would like to list products at higher prices on eBay to offset the commission. In such scenarios, the merchant can define a markup of 10% or any other desired value.
The merchant needs to enable this option in Profile Management and set ‘Increase or Decrease Price’, ‘Price Value’, and ‘Percentage or Fixed’ fields.
For example:
A product is of $100 and user select “Increase” in Increase or Decrease Price, enter Price value as 5 and select “Percentage” in Percentage or Fixed fields then the system will send $105 price of that product on eBay.
