Searching through our own listings

[mbeeler5]

I think I may have listed an item twice. Is there a way to search our own listings?

Not looking forward to going through 1600 listings to find it!

On your active listings, there is a download link on the right side

Click on that and you will get an excel.

In excel highlight the description column, go to conditional formatting, then select highlight cells rules, then duplicate values.

Any duplicate values will be colored.

This free online tool will quickly pick up likely duplicates:

https://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/DuplicateListings.htm

Enter your sellername, eBay site, and click the "get items" button to start the scan.

The tool looks for accidental duplicates, where the titles are identical and the prices are close, but does not look at photos, so the results are not definitive.  The seller would need to verify by examining the photos or listings and reviewing eBay's duplicate listing policy.

I ran a scan and it found some "somewhat likely" duplicates. Duplicate auctions are allowed if you have more than one to sell, but each duplicate auction must be identical.

Sort your listings by store category so you are working with smaller groups.

Downloading the Excel spreadsheet and sorting is probably going to be the best to check your whole listings, but I thought I'd point out the solution in case you want to spot check.  You can pull up your directory of listings and then you'll be able to run a straight search on them that way.
