Overrides: Price, Title, Description & Images

Catalog data comes from manufacturers and distributors, and sometimes you'll want your listings to say something different. Overrides replace a piece of catalog data with your own version, such as a better image, your own description, or a specific price. They apply only to your account, never to other dealers.

What you can override

What	Applies to	Where
Image	One product	Override Management Center, or in bulk by CSV
Description	One product, or a whole product group	Override Management Center
Price	One distributor SKU, on one marketplace	Override Management Center
Title and subtitle	One listing	eBay Listing Management
Size, color, option	One product	Override Management Center

Open the Product Override Management Center

Go to Catalogs > Aftermarket.
Using the filters, find the product you are looking for.
Once you find the product, click its MPN (Don't right click>open a new tab. Just click).

This page shows everything PSS knows about the product: images, group and product descriptions, size, color and option, every distributor that carries it with their SKU and MSRP, price overrides and shelf inventory.

Override an image

One product: in the Product Image section, choose Upload File or Upload URL, then click Save.
Many products: in File Center, use Import/Export Image Overrides. Download the template, add one row per MPN with an image URL, and upload it.

💡 Pro Tip: You can also add multiple images

Override a description

Level	Affects	Best for
Product group	Every product in the group	Hard parts and similar products where one description fits all
Product	One product	Variations that need their own wording, like left-hand vs. right-hand

In the Override Management Center, enter your text in the Product Group Description Override or Product Description Override field.
Click Save.

📌 Key Point: A product-level override always wins over a group-level one. Basic HTML (bold, lists, line breaks) works, but plain text is fine too. Description overrides can't be uploaded by CSV.

Override a price

One Product at a time

In the Override Management Center, scroll down to Price Overrides.
Find the distributor SKU and enter your price for eBay.
Click Save.

Multiple Products at a time

From the main nav, click File Center. This brings up the .csv processing hub.
On the left nav, click Client: Import Price Overrides. Download the compatible file template.
Use the instructions on the template to fill in the required fields, then upload the .csv file using Client: Import Price Overrides.

A price override beats your Pricing Rules for that SKU on that marketplace.

⚠️ Warning: A price override stays fixed. It won't follow MSRP changes, so when a brand raises prices, an old override can put you below MAP. Review them regularly. Use Pricing Rules for anything brand-wide.

📌 Reminder: Each product can be fed by multiple SKUs. SKUs control price & inventory. We do this because different dealers can get different pricing from each distributor from time to time.

Override size, color or option

In the Product Details section, edit the values and click Save. For example, change a color from "BLK" to "Black" so it reads cleanly on eBay.

Which version wins

Data	Order (first one set wins)
Description	Product override, then group override, then catalog
Image	Your override, then catalog
Size, color, option	Your override, then catalog
Price	Shelf price, then price override, then Pricing Rule, then MSRP

Overrides reach eBay in the next daily revision feed, usually within 24 hours. Removing an override puts the catalog version back.

Override a title or subtitle

Titles are set per listing. In eBay Listing Management, click a listing's title or subtitle to edit it inline. To change titles across many listings, change the title hash instead. See Optimizing Titles & Descriptions.
