Overview
The Listing Translation feature in 3Dsellers allows you to automatically translate your eBay listings when copying them to drafts. Using AI-powered translation, you can create localized versions of your listings—including translated titles, descriptions, and item specifics—so they’re ready for international marketplaces.
Currently, listing translation is available only through the “Copy to Drafts” action. This ensures your original listings remain unchanged while translated versions are created as new drafts that you can review before publishing.
Why Translate Your Listings?
🌍 Reach New Buyers
Most people prefer browsing and shopping in their native language. Translating your listings lets you speak directly to those buyers and gives you a better chance to convert them into customers.
📈 Increase Visibility
Localized listings rank better in search results because they use terms local buyers actually search for. Simply converting text isn’t always enough — localized content performs best in each marketplace.
🚀 Automate & Scale Your Expansion
Instead of copy-pasting and manually editing listings for every region, translation tools and automation allow you to expand more efficiently and consistently.
What Gets Translated or Converted
When using Copy to Drafts with Additional AI Actions, you can apply the following options:
Translated fields
The AI translation applies to free-text fields only, including:
Title – translated into the selected target language
Description – full product description, including HTML content
Item specifics – text-based item specifics are translated
In some cases, item specifics must match valid eBay values. If a translated value doesn’t match an accepted option, manual adjustment may be required.
Converted (optional, separate actions)
These are not translations, but optional conversions you can enable:
Price and currency – converted to the selected currency
Size and weight units – converted (for example, lbs/inches to kg/cm)
Important: Translation and conversion are independent options. You can enable translation only, conversion only, or both.

Important Notes & Limitations
Translation applies only when copying listings to drafts
AI translation may require manual review and edits
Some item specifics require exact eBay-approved values
Translation creates new drafts, not edits to live listings
Availability depends on AI feature access and user permissions
AI Credit Usage
When using Copy to Drafts with Translation enabled, AI credits are consumed based on the number of listings processed.
1 AI credit is used per listing copied
The credit is consumed per translated listing, not per bulk action
Copying multiple listings at once will deduct 1 AI credit for each listing
If translation is disabled, no AI credits are used
The Copy to Drafts modal displays:
Your remaining AI credits
The estimated AI credit cost before you confirm the action
This allows you to review and confirm the cost before proceeding.
Example:
