Reviewing and editing Webinterpret’s data suggestions
Log in to your Compliance Dashboard to use the following features.
Filtering your items
Once Webinterpret has fetched all of your items requiring GPSR compliance, they will be organized under the Action required tab in a table by brand name. The red badge to the right of each brand name represents the number of products belonging to the brand.
Basic filters are visible by default. Click Show more filters to reveal the complete list of available options for filtering.
Filters allow you to quickly locate products by various criteria, such as their brand name (Brand), selling category (Category), and validation status (Status).
Validation statuses
Each item is assigned one of four statuses: input required, ready to validate, validated, or published.
Items will have the input required or ready to validate status if they are in the Action required tab:
- input required refers to items missing GPSR data and product information after Webinterpret has fetched your items and made automated suggestions. If Webinterpret cannot retrieve all of the required information for your item, you must complete its information manually to proceed to the next step.
- ready to validate refers to items that are not missing information and are ready to be validated.
Items will have the validated or published status if they are in the Validated tab:
- validated refers to items you have approved as being GPSR compliant after reviewing and accepting Webinterpret’s GPSR data suggestions and completing any missing information. Items with this status cannot be edited.
- published refers to items published on eBay after you have validated them. Items with this status can be edited and re-validated.
Filtering your items by Status can help you quickly identify items that need attention, such as those marked with input required.

Editing individual items
Note: Items with a validated status cannot be edited until their status is changed to published.
Click the downward-facing arrow to the far right of a brand name to reveal the list of items belonging to that brand.
For each item, you can perform three item-level actions: Download, Upload, and Edit:
- Download allows you to retrieve any available product documentation, such as its QR label and Certificate of compliance.
- Upload allows you to add any missing product information, such as product safety instructions (a window will open through which you can add files stored on your computer).
- Edit allows you to manually add missing information to the item (a sidebar will appear displaying the same information as is contained in the table, with options for manual editing). Editable fields on the item-level include Country of Origin, CЄ marking, Safety warnings, Disposal instruction, Product composition, Manufacturer, and EU Responsible Person.
Edit item sidebar view:
Important: You must click Add to apply the selected information to your item. Then, click Save at the bottom of the sidebar to apply all of the item-level changes to the product.
Bulk editing items
Note: Items with a validated status cannot be edited until their status has been changed to published.
Besides item-level editing, bulk editing for multiple items is available to streamline the process. To bulk edit multiple items at once, select the desired items from the table and click Actions > Edit product details. There is no limitation on the number of items you can edit at once using the bulk edit feature.
The same fields for item-level editing are available for bulk editing: Country of Origin, CЄ marking, Safety warnings, Disposal instruction, Product composition, Manufacturer, and EU Responsible Person.
Once you have edited the value(s) you wish to apply to the selected field(s) for your selected items, click Save.
Using the EU Responsible Person Assessment tool
The Assessment column shows the number of conditions an item has fulfilled in order to assign Webinterpret as its EU Responsible Person:
- A green status means all conditions have been met (13 out of 13).
- A red status means that only some conditions have been met (less than 13 out of 13).
- A not eligible status means that Webinterpret cannot be assigned as the item's EU Responsible Person, as its selling category is not supported. To validate the item, you must provide information on its EU Responsible Person.
To see a detailed list of conditions, hover your mouse over the green or red status. Individual conditions have their own status indicator:
- A green dot means that the condition has been met.
- A red dot means that only part of the condition has been met.
When items have a red status, review their full list of conditions and use the Upload and Edit actions to provide the requested missing information.
When editing items at the item-level, the Assessment section under EU Responsible Person displays the same list of conditions that must be met for Webinterpret to be assigned as its EU Responsible Person.
Some conditions can be adjusted manually by moving the yes / no toggle. Other conditions may require additional actions, such as uploading documentation using the Upload action.
For more information about Webinterpret’s process for determining your EU Responsible Person service eligibility, see Eligibility for Webinterpret’s EU Responsible Person service.
Validating your items as GPSR compliant
Once your items have a validation status of ready to validate, they are ready for the validation process.
Important: While Webinterpret automatically suggests data for your listings to comply with the GPSR, it is your responsibility to review and ensure the validity of this data.
To mark your items as validated after reviewing their information, select them from your Compliance Dashboard and click Validate.
Note: Items with the status input required cannot be validated.
Webinterpret will start validating your items. This process may take a few minutes. While editing options are disabled during the validation process, you can cancel validation while it is still ongoing.
If validation is successful, a green message will appear confirming its success, and the items will move to the Validated tab.
Next steps after validation
You can check how many of your items have been validated, not validated, and are still missing information from the main screen of your Webinterpret Dashboard:
When a validated item has been sold in the EU, you can download and affix its GPSR-Compliant label that confirms its compliance with the GPSR from your Compliance Dashboard. For more information, see How to download and affix your GPSR-compliant label.
