Starting December 13th, 2024, sellers shipping to Europe or Northern Ireland must comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). To continue selling on Amazon and eBay in these regions, you have to provide manufacturer and product safety information. Here’s how to do it with M2E Pro.

Watch our video guide with steps to add GPSR information to your eBay and Amazon listings using M2E Pro.

eBay

To provide the GPSR information for eBay listings, please follow the steps below:

1. Update Marketplaces under eBay Integration > Configuration > Marketplaces > Update All Now. 

2. Navigate to the Categories settings (eBay Integration > Configuration > Categories) and click View next to the Category to be edited. To find out more about this tab, please refer to our guide.

In case a Magento Attribute is used as a Category source, please click View next to this attribute:

3. Add the manufacturer and safety details by selecting a Magento Attribute or entering a custom value.

For a Magento Attribute setup, please make sure the Specifics' match the below example:

If unique attributes are required to be set for a specific item (or a group of items), please follow the steps below:

1. Go to your M2E Pro Listing (Listings > Items), filter Products to be edited, and switch to Settings View Mode. This guide can be referenced as you go. 

2. Choose the products you want to update, then submit the Edit Categories & Specifics mass action.

3. In the Category Settings pop-up, click Edit under Item Specifics and add the required values.

Once all set and saved, M2E Pro will automatically update the information in your eBay listings, provided that the Categories/Specifics option is set to 'Yes' in the Synchronization Policy > Revise Rules.

Amazon

Please ensure your M2E Pro is upgraded to v. 1.67.0 or higher following our documentation guides.

1. Go to Configuration > Product Types. This documentation can be referenced for more guidelines about Amazon Product Type management tips. 

2. Click Refresh Amazon Data to ensure all Product Type details are up-to-date.

3. Click Select > Edit to update your Product Type with the GPSR information.

4. In the Safety & Compliance section, provide the required GPSR attributes or a custom value, then save your changes.

M2E Pro will update your listings assigned to this Product Type on Amazon.

Why Use Magento Attributes to Store GPSR Information?

When providing manufacturer and safety information to comply with GPSR requirements, we recommend you to use Magento Attributes.

This approach offers several advantages:

• Time-saving: Rather than configuring settings for each product individually, you can assign Magento Attributes to Amazon Product Types or eBay Categories and reuse them across multiple listings.
• Consistency across Channels: Use the same Magento Attributes for eBay and Amazon products.
• Streamlined management: Avoid repetitive tasks by centralizing data in Magento Attributes.

Following these steps ensures your listings stay GPSR-compliant and visible to European buyers.
