Is there a community of eBay sellers who want to upload listings using CSV reports?
Summary: poetryinpower is looking to improve the process of listing items on eBay using CSV uploads, preferring a draft creation option in the 'launch new listing' report for easier photo management and better item-specific columns. wooden_flower suggests posting on eBay's seller discussion board for more community feedback and notes that eBay staff typically do not read these boards, but there is a feedback link on eBay's site for submitting ideas.
I'm looking to develop a more efficient process for listing items.
I'd like to upload CSV files which I recently learning how to do, and it works pretty well.
eBay Reports tab in Seller Hub offers two basic kinds of uploads for new listings: draft or launch. The draft listing allows you to create draft listings and then use eBay's very user-friendly tools to modify the listing, upload photos, and schedule a launch. The launch function is rather raw and probably works best with more sophisticated interfaces (I use MS Excel). '
What I'd like, if it's possible, is a version of the launch new listing report that actually creates a draft. That way, I don't need to fiddle with photo URLs required by launch report (manually uploading instead - which allows me to inspect the photos before launch). Also, for my product category, the item specific columns available in the launch report is much better than the draft report, and allows me to avoid busy work.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone is listening or if there's a community of sellers who want to improve efficiency of their stores using CSV uploads.

You should post on the seller’s discussion board, where more members can respond. This board is limited to approved mentors.
eBay personnel do not generally read these discussion boards. Most pages in eBay have a. ‘Tell us what you think’ link - you could submit your idea there.
