Publishing your first item with RUIT
Create an item in your inventory and publish it to several marketplaces at once, with the differences worth knowing before you hit publish.
Publishing in RUIT is two separate steps: first you create the item in your inventory, then you choose which accounts to publish it to. The item lives in RUIT, and each listing is a copy of it on a marketplace, with its own price, its own status and its own link.
Why are the inventory and the listing different things?
Because the same item sells in several places at once and each one asks for something different. By keeping them apart, you change the price or the stock once and RUIT propagates it to every listing, instead of forcing you to edit five ads by hand.
What does an item need before it can be published?
The minimum is title, description, price, condition and at least one photo. Beyond that, each marketplace adds its own requirements, and RUIT asks for them when you publish, not before:
- eBay requires a category, business policies and an inventory location already set up in your eBay account. The title cannot exceed 80 characters.
- Wallapop needs a location on your profile.
- Vinted asks for size and brand in fashion categories.
If something is missing, the listing ends in an error state with the reason written out, and the other marketplaces carry on: a failure in one does not block the rest.
How do I publish to several marketplaces at once?
From the item page, tick the target accounts and press publish. You can also select several items from the inventory and do it in bulk.
Bulk publishing is capped at 50 listings per job, counting items × accounts: 10 items across 5 accounts is already 50. If you go over, RUIT splits the work into several jobs. The cap exists so that one large batch does not take over your connection to the marketplaces and end up triggering temporary blocks.
What happens after I hit publish?
Publishing is not instant: RUIT queues it and reports the status of each listing. You will see them move through “pending”, “publishing” and “published”, with the link to the real ad once it is done.
When the item sells on one of the marketplaces, RUIT detects it and takes the other listings down automatically if you have auto-delist enabled, so you do not end up selling the same unit twice.
