How to use Ticket Types to keep your support organized

Organize your eBay/Amazon Helpdesk inbox by assigning Ticket Types to your support tickets.

Written by Tony Adams

Ticket types are used to help you and your team find, sort, and understand a ticket at a glance.

Quick note: When Customer Service knows what the message is for, it will assign a Ticket Type automatically. For example: if you receive a message from eBay or Amazon, the ticket type "System" will be automatically assigned.


How to assign a Ticket Type

There are several ways to assign ticket types to your messages:

Option 1 - Assign Individually
