CSV files on MacOS - Errors when uploading them to Ebay (How to fix)

Here is a tip. In case uploading doesn't work for you. MS Excel on Mac adds incompatible characters at the beginning of the ebay update CSV file that was edited on MacOS MS Excel. If you get errors when uploading the file, you may need to remove the characters from the file. The fixed file text is in green circle.

You could also use another CSV editor that may not cause the issue, but because Ebay puts text information at the beginning of the CSV file, it can't be open with most CSV editors so you are stuck with MS Excel on MacOS.

Hi Ittolduandso,

Thank you for your tips. I am using it and its very helpful.

I need one more information regarding "relationship" and "relationship details" columns. Could you please elaborated on it? Also it would be great if you can share sample file, of course remove your personal information.

Thanks.
