Magento products and eBay - duplicate content risk?

[speedbird1229]

Hi,

We are selling about 1000 sticker products in our online store and would like to expand a large part of our products lineup to eBay as well. There are pretty good modules for this as I've heard. I'm just wondering if there will be duplicate content problems if I sync the products between Magento and eBay and they get uploaded to eBay with identical titles, descriptions and images? What's the workaround in this case? Thanks!

The amount of code (navigation, related item links, reviews, etc) that eBay adds to its pages should prevent this as well as being selective about how much you send.  For example, you could write a longer description as part of content on your page while uploading a truncated one to eBay. Mostly it's a a question of sales though. If your store numbers remain healthy while eBay adds to it, then that's the most important measurement.
