There are several ways to integrate your eBay.com account into Sports Card Forum to expose your eBay listings to thousands of sports card collectors. Regardless if you are a major eBay seller, or someone that rarely uses eBay, I recommend that all members take a few minutes to integrate their account into Sports Card Forum. It will help promote your auctions in your posting profile and we will promote your auctions throughout the site. It takes just a few minutes and it will guarantee more traffic to your auctions.

1. The first thing you want to do is update your profile with your eBay ID.

1. Log into SportsCardForum.com.
2. Click on User CP at the top right of the site.
3. On the left side under My Settings, click on Edit Profile.
4. Scroll down to the Additional Information section.
5. In the eBay field type in your eBay ID and at the bottom click Save Changes.

This will ensure that an eBay logo, eBay ID and link to your eBay page is promoted.

2. Next, set up your eBay Profile Tab. This will pull your favorite keywords and display live auctions in your profile. If you are constantly looking for a favorite player or set, this is a great way to see auctions without visiting eBay. You can also display your auctions only.

1. Log into SportsCardForum.com.
2. Click on User CP at the top right of the site.
3. On the left side, scroll down to eBay Tools and click on eBay Search Settings.
4. Fill out the form. You can list only your items or items from other sellers. Click Save Search Settings.

In my example, I used Ladanian Tomlinson and all sellers as my search keywords. Here is what my eBay tab looks like my profile.

Again, make sure you put your eBay ID in the Sellers area on the form to ensure only your auctions show up.

That’s it! Two minutes of your time ensures your eBay ID shows up in your posting profile every time you show up and your auctions show up when people visit your profile.

To create a group simply go to your User CP and under Networking click Social Groups.

At the top of the screen it will show you what groups you belong to. Next you will see all the groups that have been created. If you see one you like simply visit the group and at the top right you will see “Join Group.”

To create your own group scoll down to the bottom of the main group page and click “create group.” You can also search groups in this area as well.

Your groups can be tracked in your profile at the bottom right.

I hope this will allow collectors with similar interests to get together! You can also find the groups link in our navigation bar.

Go to your User CP and and click on Edit Your Details.

Scroll down to the bottom and you will see an Ebay field.

Click Save Changes.

You will now see Ebay ID: and your username. Members will be redirected to your Ebay page when clicked.

That’s it!
