FAQ

What is WidgetChimp?

WidgetChimp is an eBay listing template and store design tool founded by Matt Ogborne. Sellers use a drag-and-drop builder to design listing descriptions and store pages instead of editing HTML in each listing. Shared design elements such as headers, colors and widgets are managed in one place and applied across many listings. It offers more than 24 widgets and produces mobile-responsive templates.

What widgets does WidgetChimp offer?

WidgetChimp offers more than 24 widgets for eBay listings. A reviews widget shows your feedback comments inside listings. A related items widget displays other items based on keywords or eBay store categories. A delivery ETA widget shows an estimated delivery time, with options for layout, color and timing. The tool also includes eBay store designs and feedback alerts.

How much does WidgetChimp cost?

WidgetChimp pricing is listed from $15.95 per month on WebRetailer, a directory of seller software. The price covers the drag-and-drop template builder and its widgets for eBay listings. WidgetChimp also advertises a 7-day free trial, so sellers can test the builder with their own eBay account before paying. Check the WidgetChimp website for plan details before you subscribe.

Is there a WidgetChimp free trial?

Yes. WidgetChimp advertises a 7-day free trial with no strings attached. It says signing up takes about four clicks because it connects directly to your eBay account. A trial lets you build a listing template, add widgets such as reviews or related items, and see how the design looks on your listings before you choose a paid plan.

How do I cancel WidgetChimp?

To cancel WidgetChimp, log in and check your account settings for billing options. If you pay through PayPal or a card, you can also stop the recurring payment there. After cancelling, remove WidgetChimp's access under third-party app permissions in your eBay account, and update any listings that use its templates so the descriptions keep displaying the way you want.

Which marketplaces does WidgetChimp work with?

WidgetChimp works only with eBay. WebRetailer lists support for all eBay sites, and the tool connects to eBay accounts directly for signup and for widgets such as feedback comments and related items. It does not create listings on Amazon, Etsy or other marketplaces, so sellers on several channels need a separate listing tool.

Does WidgetChimp work with eBay's active content rules?

eBay restricted active content such as JavaScript in listing descriptions from 2017. Several WidgetChimp reviews on WebRetailer from after that change complain that templates did not comply or that features stopped working. If you still use older WidgetChimp templates, check your listings for content warnings and switch to a design that uses plain HTML and CSS.

How do I contact WidgetChimp support?

Use the contact options on the WidgetChimp website or inside your account. Reviews on WebRetailer from 2014 and 2015 praised the support team, while reviews from 2017 to 2023 often mention unanswered support tickets and billing problems. If you have a question about a recurring payment, your card issuer or PayPal can also help you review the charges.

How does WidgetChimp manage the design of eBay listings?

WidgetChimp describes its builder as a way to remote control the design of your eBay listings. Shared elements such as headers, colors and widgets are managed from its service and applied across your listings, so one change can update many listings at once. Some sellers also keep a plain HTML copy of their descriptions as a backup of their listing design.

What are the alternatives to WidgetChimp?

Other tools for eBay listing templates and design include 3Dsellers, which has a listing designer with an HTML mode, Sellercore, Frooition and CrazyLister. Seller Sourcebook also offers eBay listing templates. Look for templates that follow eBay's active content rules, are mobile friendly, and let you apply changes to many listings at once.
