Images on multi-variation
If you create multi-variation product and have separate images for each of PrestaShop attribute on eBay you will have an image assigned to each of the combination. This feature work if you activate an option "Send Images for variation" in Selling Profile.
Edit Selling List Details
Now it's possible edit Selling List details. Not all details can be edited but most of them. If your Selling List use "Category" mode it's only possible add more categories to it. Remove of existing assigned categories not possible (this can prevent of unexpected item removing from eBay).

Category and Ebay store categories mappings
In the way of simplify working with Selling Profile and make it more customizable we add two new features "Category Mapping" and "Ebay Store mapping".
Category Mapping
Mapping can be found on menu "Catalog->Ebay->Profiles->Category Mapping".
During creation new mapping, you need to select marketplace for which mapping created.
Then select pair between Ebay Catalog Categories and PrestaShop categories.
For selected eBay category, you can choose Item Condition and Item Specific.
New created connection will be added to the list of existing mappings. This mapping information can be used in Selling Profile. Instead of selecting eBay Categories in each Selling Profile and then fill Item specific you can create mapping for selected marketplace and use it in Selling Profile.
When PrestaShop product listed to eBay PrestaBay analyze it default category and choose eBay category based on it. Also Item Specifics and Item Condition filled from selected mapping.
