How to use filters for eBay listings
Filters help you quickly find and view listings based on specific criteria, such as item details, marketplace settings, dates, policies, pricing, and inventory data. Filters are designed for temporary views and are ideal for short-term tasks like reviewing listings, preparing bulk actions, or locating items that need attention.
If you need to save, reuse, or automatically maintain listing groups, use Segments and Custom Segments.

Where to use filters
Filters are available in the Listings Manager and affect only the current listings view. Applying filters does not change or update the listings themselves.
You can use filters to narrow down listings across multiple dimensions, including item data, eBay placement, dates, pricing, inventory, and policies.
How to apply filters
Go to Listings Manager.
Click Add Filter.
Select a filter type and set the desired condition.
Repeat the process to add additional filters if needed.
The listings table will update based on the applied filters.
Combining multiple filters (AND / OR)
You can combine multiple filters to create more precise results.
When more than one filter is applied, you can choose how they work together by selecting a logical connector:
AND — listings must match all selected filters
OR — listings must match any of the selected filters
For example:
Title contains “test” AND Warehouse Inventory greater than 0
→ Shows only listings that meet both conditions.SKU contains “ABC” OR Category is Electronics
→ Shows listings that meet at least one condition.
This flexibility allows you to fine-tune your results and quickly locate exactly the listings you’re looking for.
