Want to list thousands of items

[montagnesports]

Hi

We want to list over 2000 items. We've been doing this manually for weeks but have only managed to list 200 or so. I've looked everywhere, but cannot find a bulk upload option that covers multiple products/categories.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Of course!

For free, use File Exchange

There are also many third-party tools (not free) that will greatly streamline listing plus most other tasks required to manage a large number of listings.

I use SixBit which is available for UK sellers.

As a UK member, you might want to check the UK discussion boards to see if there are any options for ebay.co.uk sellers that may not be available for ebay.com sellers.

I use AuctionSage which is a third party paid desktop program.

There is some setup involved but it has the ability to upload csv files into its inventory that you can then post to ebay. Using it greatly speeds my listing time and you can use it for inventory control and other things as well.

If you aren't good with computers, you may have to pay someone to set it up and help you write csv format listings.

I wrote a perl script to take a multi-line text description and turn it into an AuctionSage inventory item.

So, my listing process is to write a 7 to 10 line text description convert it to an AuctionSage inventory item, and then post to ebay through AuctionSage. It only takes a couple of minutes for me to create a listing and if there are many like items, it is significantly less than that per item due to cut and paste in a text file.

I use eBay's free Turbo Lister tool.

It creates listings in an offline database so you never lose them.

You can create "template" listings for different categories.

You can bulk edit, and also do search and replace on titles and descriptions.

Take your time.

I looked at a couple of your listings and saw some errors that bulk listing would not catch.

One listing gave the size and height of the model. There is no model in the pictures.

Another was in pale grey and a very small font.

Mail order is a learned skill.  Take time to learn it.

Proofread all your listings individually.

If you have a shop, one of your pictures could be your shop, which is a trust exercise for your customers.

If you are dropshipping, the location of the product must be given, not the location of the seller.
