GunBroker Listings: Condition, Premium Features, Scheduled Start and Overwrites
Summary
How GunBroker listing details are set in the Publish Listings template: condition codes, premium features, scheduled start, auction vs fixed price, shipping profile, and what an overwrite changes.
GunBroker listing details come from the Publish Listings mapping template: Channels (cart icon) > gear icon on the GunBroker channel > Integrations > Publish Listings > Edit > Define a Mapping Template.
| Value to map | Condition on GunBroker |
|---|---|
| 1 | Factory New |
| 2 | New Old Stock |
| 3 | Used |
A word such as "Used" is not understood, and with nothing mapped the listing goes out as Factory New. GunBroker does not allow changing the condition of a live listing, so it is set only when the listing is created.
- View counter, featured, highlighted, showcase, bold title, sponsored onsite, subtitle, title color and scheduled start are template fields, sent only when mapped.
- Flxpoint does not check whether your GunBroker account can use a premium feature.
- Scheduled start takes a date as
yyyy-MM-dd, with no time. A value with a time fails with "Text could not be parsed".
- The type depends on which price fields the template maps, not on a setting. One template cannot mix auction and fixed-price fields.
- Auctions always go out with quantity 1. Buy It Now is optional, and it cannot be lower than the starting bid.
- A live listing cannot switch between auction and fixed price.
- A mapped Shipping Profile ID overrides the channel's default shipping settings.
- Channel settings such as shipping defaults and relisting apply when a listing is created.
- Publish / Overwrite re-sends only the fields the template maps. It never changes condition or serial number, and it skips items with zero quantity.
My used item published as Factory New?
Map the condition field to the number 3, not the word Used, then create the listing again: the condition of a live listing cannot change.
Overwrite says "Not able to fetch the Item from the store"?
GunBroker has no listing with that SKU. Check the SKU matches the GunBroker listing exactly.
How do I show rounds per box for ammo?
There is no dedicated field. Send it as a Characteristic name and value pair in the template.
