Welcome to PSS — What to Expect Over Your First 2–3 Weeks
Welcome aboard! Over the next two to three weeks, you'll go from a brand-new PSS account to live listings generating orders. This article walks you through what that timeline actually looks like, so you know what's coming and why each step matters.
🎥 Insert video here: a 90-second welcome from the onboarding team, previewing the weeks ahead.
Your first 2–3 weeks at a glance
Week 1: Foundation - Connect and Configure
- Connect your eBay and/or Amazon account.
- Configure your core Settings — eBay, pricing rules, inventory rules, shipping, and tax.
- Connect Lightspeed if you have it, and dial in the settings and supplier codes.
- If you've signed up for eBay VIP, start that application now — approval takes 2–3 weeks.
Week 2: Create Templates and Listings
- Review the Catalogs — Aftermarket, OEM, and Private.
- Create your first listing templates.
- Create your first batch of listings (Automation won't be on. Consider this a trial run.)
Week 3 and beyond: Go live and grow
- Once approved in VIP and we flip you live, monitor for orders and listing performance.
- Fine-tune pricing and compare your listings with other sellers'. Better? Worse?
- Revisit "How to Achieve Success Using PSS" for ongoing best practices.
💡 Pro Tip: You don't have to do this alone. See "Know Your Support Channels" any time you get stuck.
