I need to create a listing with 200 variations - can i do it with excel?
Is there a way to upload an excel file or csv for a large amount of variations vs. typing them in one by one when creating a new listing??? Will be listing in sports trading cards and have between 200-225 variations (card numbers to add). Thanks for your help!

·3 years agoIf you are going to make one of those 99 cent every card in the set listings then I encourage you to not waste your time.
Those 99 cent every card in the set variation listings are only profitable when you value your time at zero.
Most customers order one card, you end up with 30-50 cents after expenses and supplies and if you are a beast and can fill 30 of those orders per hour you end up with all of $9-12 for the hour. Which still didn't count the time to create the listing or the cost of the cards (which probably rounded down to zero anyway).
I worked at a pretty successful card shop and we knew there that the low end singles cards were just an anchor weighing the business down, and increasing automation in this area is just making that worse, not better.

·2 years agoI apologize for resurrecting a dead thread, but I wanted to ask what you did with all of your insert singles? For instance, I have ~3,000 2023 Donruss rated rookies (minus CJ & Puka) and ~1500 other random inserts. I wanted to make a pick your player listing, which led me here. Would you advise selling as a lot, by player, by team, etc instead of individually? I'm running out of room on my 2023 shelf.

That said, I would never both looking through a variation listing that big. I'd definitely recommend listing them individually, though you'll want a store subscription to save on fees probably. That's a lot of cards. Uploading them if you can figure out the new file transfer method is probably fastest, but you'll still need to do a good bit of work to make it happen.
