The export csv file that is produced by Turbo, will not work correctly for FileExchange without some modifications.
For FileExchange 'Add' items:
1) The 'Action' heading in column A1, must be changed to reflect the site you are listing on. For @if_comics , this would be 'Action(SiteID=UK|Country=UK|Currency=GBP|Version=941)'.
2) Change the 'Condition' column heading to 'ConditionID'.
3) If you use custom labels, change 'Custom Label' to 'CustomLabel'. (there is a second 'CustomLabel' field in the Turbo export file. You can delete the first)
4) Due to the age of the Turbo program, there are some fields that are no longer valid for FileExchange, and some additional fields have been added in recent eBay changes. There are also site specific fields/columns in the export file. See template info below to avoid using unneeded fields/columns.
4) Delete the 'ItemID' column.
5) Add the column 'Product:EAN' (for this member...'Product:UPC' for US users). This is needed for the Product catalog.
It is much better, instead of trying to upload a Turbo export file, to use this utility - http://bulksell.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?FileExchangeCategorySelector - to download a correct template for the desired category. Then map the Turbo export fields/columns into that template, using your spreadsheet functions. (Add the column listed in 5) above, to the template).
Also note that the Turbo export file will not contain acceptable image URLs for a FileExchange upload file. Images must be hosted on a online web server, using the https: protocol.
