This error message comes from eBay which states that you cannot list products for 30 days as the category of this product is not eligible for the same. To fix this issue, kindly change the duration from the profile section or the category of the product. 

5- How to fix the error message at least one of the variations associated with this listing must have a quantity greater than 0?

6- What is the purpose and use of the Product Description Template?
It is used to set the format of the product description on eBay. You can also optimize the product title while listing products on eBay.

For example, if we want to add a product title at starting/end of every description then we can use {product_title} placeholder in the template and then {long_description}.

7- How many Placeholders can be used in the Product Description Template?
OpenCart-eBay Integration module supports the following place holders in the Product Description Template:
{short_description} : To use short description of product

9- How to handle eBay Selling limitations?
On eBay, there are selling limitations on the total pricing of the products which can be listed. To handle this scenario, we can list products with minimum quantity, so that when any product is sold we can increase the inventory back to that minimum quantity.
In the Profile Management section, our module has an “Alter Quantity” field. If we use 5 in this field and have 10 quantities of a product in OpenCart store admin then the system will send 5 quantities for that product to eBay and in the case, product quantity is less than  5 then the system will send that quantity as is to eBay.

Please refer “Profiles” section in the user manual of the link below: 
https://www.knowband.com/blog/user-manual/opencart-ebay-marketplace-integrator/ 

10- How can I control price (higher or lesser) on eBay Marketplace than our OpenCart store?
Price management functionality in eBay OpenCart Integrator provides an option to control prices (higher or lesser) of products on eBay Marketplace. There are eBay merchants who would like to list products at higher prices on eBay to offset the commission. In such scenarios, the merchant can define a markup of 10% or any other desired value. 

The user needs to enable this option in the Profile Management section and set ‘Increase or Decrease Price’, ‘Price Value’, and ‘Percentage or Fixed’ fields.

For example: 
A product is of $100 and the user select “Increase” in Increase or Decrease Price, enter Price value as 5 and select “Percentage” in Percentage or Fixed fields then system will send $105 price of that product on eBay.
