The grid is where you live; views are how you slice it
Table of Contents #
The Orders Grid #
Orders (left nav) shows every synced order in a grid. Above the grid: Download & sync (pull latest orders) and the … menu with the grid’s tools:
- Edit filter… — the current view’s filter conditions
- Columns… — pick which columns this view shows
- Export view… — export what you’re looking at (see Exporting & Your Data)
- Add order… / Import CSV — bring in orders manually
Find any order with the search bar at the top (composite ID or item).
Click an order to open its page. To keep the grid where it is, open the order in a new tab instead: middle-click the row, Ctrl-click it (Cmd-click on a Mac), or right-click → Open in new tab.
On the order page, Order on eBay opens eBay’s order details for that purchase (manual orders don’t have it, since eBay has no page for them). The tracking number is a link too: it opens the carrier’s tracking page for USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL, and eBay’s order details for any other carrier. If eBay cancelled the order, Payment & refunds says so with the date, and the order’s Activity records it.
Filter from the Column Headers #
For a quick narrow-down you don’t need a view. Column headers carry a filter icon: click it, type or pick, Apply.
- Text columns (Item, Ships from, and so on) match anything that contains what you type.
- ZIP matches what the ship-from ZIP begins with, so
330finds 33012 and eBay’s partial 330**, not 13301. - Marketplace and Status are pick lists; Buy date and Delivered take a date range; Amounts takes a price range on the item price only.
Column filters are temporary: Clear column filters (n) above the grid drops them, and they are gone when you leave the page. On one of your own views, Save to <view> keeps them as part of the view. An export of the view includes them.
What a View Is #
A view = a saved filter + its own column set. The left sidebar lists All orders, the built-in Default views (Awaiting Payment, etc.), and My views.
- The ★ marks your default landing view — the one PSM opens on.
- Built-in views can be duplicated but not deleted — duplicate one and adjust the copy.
- Right-click a view in the sidebar for Rename / Reorder.
Managing Views #
Settings → Views is the full management surface: rename, set the ★ default, Edit columns, duplicate, delete (your own views), and Add view.
Known Quirk.
Creating a brand-new filter from the sidebar (“New filter” / “Save view”) is being reworked and can behave unpredictably right now. The reliable path today: duplicate an existing view, then adjust its filter via the grid’s … → Edit filter and its columns via Edit columns.
Next: as items arrive: Receiving Items.
