HQ listing
A shop manager does not have to know that a jacket is worth £60 on eBay. The bench knows, flags it, and HQ takes it from there: claim, list, sold, recorded. On the charity’s own eBay account, with the money going where it always did.
The queue
Every flagged piece appears in the HQ queue, oldest first, with the shop it came from and the bench’s photos. An HQ lister claims it, which tells the shop it has been received, and lists it. Someone else’s claim is left alone unless an admin steps in. A piece that should not be listed after all is dismissed with a reason, or sent back to the shop for the rail.
Listing
From the bench’s photos, Mint chooses the eBay category, fills the item specifics eBay requires, and writes the title and description. The lister sets the price and presses list. It goes up on the charity’s eBay account, connected once by HQ under Settings, so every listing, every message from a buyer and every payout is yours.
When eBay refuses a listing, and it sometimes does, the refusal appears in the queue in eBay’s own words with a Try again, and nothing is charged for it. When the piece sells, the eBay sale is matched back to the queue and the shop it came from, with the price.
What it costs
A published listing draws 40p from the same monthly credit as a price check. Edits, relists and retries never charge twice for the same piece, and a listing eBay refused is refunded on the spot.
Plain limits
It lists on eBay, not on Vinted: Vinted has no way for a business to list by software, and we say so rather than pretend. It does not ship or answer buyers; the charity’s own eBay account and HQ team do that as they do now. It is not a stock system. The queue is the record of the pieces that went online, and the pack is what it reports.
