Connect your Constant Contact account with eBay

Sync your eBay customers into segmented lists in Constant Contact

Connect your eBay account to your Constant Contact account and easily sync your eBay customers into segmented contact lists. In order to import contacts from eBay into Constant Contact, your eBay customers need to grant permission to allow you to email them. Using our integration, you can set up an "opt-in" email to get permission from your past and future eBay customers automatically and then those contacts will be imported. If you choose not to send an opt-in email, new eBay contacts will be imported directly and you will need to get permission to market to them on your own. 

• Send an opt-in email and import your eBay contacts
• Import your eBay contacts without sending an opt-in email
• Boost your marketing with the eBay integration

Boost your marketing with the eBay integration

Once your eBay store is synced to Constant Contact, there are several ways to utilize the integration throughout your Constant Contact account.

Add a product block to your email

A dedicated Product block allows you to easily insert the products and services in your eBay account into your emails, putting them in front of the right contacts.
