eBay Listings: Import/Export
The eBay import/export feature allows bulk management of eBay listing attributes like titles, subtitles, and template assignments via CSV.
Ecommerce Home Page > File Center
On the left-hand menu under eBay Listings, click "eBay: Export eBay Listings"
Step 1 - Download Export eBay Listings Report
After you start the export request a box will pop up to enter a notification email (optional). Then click Submit.
This will start the request. You can monitor job processing from Ecommerce File Center. Once you see that the job is complete click on the blue hyperlink. This will download a CSV file titled "Ebay_Export_Ebay_Listings_Report. Open it.
Step 2 - Edit eBay Listings
The export CSV includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Catalog.name | AFTERMARKET , OEM , or PRIVATE |
| EbayListing.id | Ecommerce internal listing ID |
| EbayListing.ebay_item_id | The live eBay Item ID |
| EbayListing.created | Original creation date |
| EbayListingTemplate.name | Currently assigned template |
| EbayListing.title_hash | The tag/text combination that generates the listing title |
| EbayListing.hashed_title | The full title as displayed on eBay |
| EbayListing.subtitle_hash | Subtitle tag/text combination |
| DistributorPart.distributor_sku | Associated SKU(s) |
Import eBay Listings
Location: File Center > eBay Listings > "eBay: Import eBay Listings"
Use this to bulk update listing titles, subtitles, or template assignments.
Once you manipulate the data you will upload it back into Ecommerce. You will want to strongly consider moving the data from your original eBay Listings Export over to our compatible file template for eBay Listings Import.
How to use:
- Export your current eBay listings first.
- Download the import template from the File Center.
- Copy the relevant data from your export into the import template.
- Make your changes (update title hashes, subtitle hashes, or template names).
- Upload the modified file.
Important: The only required column to trigger an update is EbayListing.id. All other fields are optional — only include columns you want to change.
Title hashes support Ecommerce data tags like {%MANUFACTURER_GROUP%} , {%MPN%} , {%TITLE%} , etc.
Say we are trying to create a listing for Streamline Brake Lines, MPN XP900-R 4 SM
Example of a title hash - {%MANUFACTURER%} {%TITLE%} {%SIZE%} {%COLOR%} {%MPN%}
This hash becomes title - Streamline Rear Brakeline Plus 4" Smoke XP900-R 4 SM
Additionally, you can just use standard text for the title hash. If you don't want to use the tags just put in the full-text Streamline Rear Brakeline Plus 4" Smoke XP900-R 4 SM.
