How do I bulk update listing images with excel/csv

Hello! I am trying to bulk update my listings with File Exchange. I am trying to create a template on the upload reports tab, I don't see any column option for updating images on existing listings.

 

There is no way I can do this one by one for each listing as I have 7-8 images and over 1000 listings. 

 

I just want to use an excel sheet like I do for Amazon, any help is very appreciated thank you!

How do I bulk update listing images with excel/csv

To use a spreadsheet to upload images through File Exchange (Seller Hub > Reports > Uploads), those images must already be hosted online. The image URLS for each listing would then be added to the PicURL column. All URLs for a single listing would appear on a single line within the cell, and would be concatenated with a vertical pipe "|" separator.

 

Action	ItemID		PicURL
Revise 123456789012 https://example.com/img1.jpg|https://example.com/img2.jpg|https://example.com/img3.jpg
Revise 456789012345 https://example.com/pic1.jpg|https://example.com/pic2.jpg|https://example.com/pic3.jpg

Will that replace existing images?

Yes, existing images in a listing will be replaced by the new set. Whenever images are uploaded in this manner, ALL images in that single listing will be replaced by the URLs that are uploaded this way. Thus, even if only one photo in a gallery needs an update, the entire gallery of photos must be is submitted in the spreadsheet cell for that listing.

 

One thing to consider when uploading photos from your server is that eBay may not capture them all (eBay may be too fast). Consider smaller batches until you determine your server's delivery capacity.
