# Import products by seller / bulk import

There are three ways to import many eBay products at once: paste multiple product links, import an entire seller's store, or upload a CSV file. This guide covers each method, the limits to expect, and how to avoid common errors.

| Multiple links                                   | Import by seller                                    | CSV file                                        |
| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Paste a list of eBay product URLs, one per line. | Load a seller's store and select products to import | Upload a file with a list of eBay product URLs. |

{% hint style="success" %}
**Plan requirement:** Multiple links, Import by seller, and CSV import are available on the Standard and Advanced plans. On the **Free** and **Lite plans,** these options are not available.
{% endhint %}

### Method 1. Import multiple links

Use this when you have a specific set of products in mind.

1. Go to **Bulk import → Multiple links**.
2. Paste your eBay product URLs, one per line. Example: `https://www.ebay.com/itm/146108681831`
3. Click **Import**.

The app fetches each product and shows import progress. When it finishes, the products appear under the Products section.

Tips

* You can import up to the limit allowed by your plan
* Invalid or inactive eBay links are skipped automatically
* You can re-import the same link, it will update the product instead of duplicating
  {% endhint %}

### Method 2. Import by seller

Use this to import products from an entire eBay store.

1. Go to **Bulk import → Import by seller**.
2. Paste the seller store link. Example: `https://www.ebay.com/str/getimportcds`
3. Click **Search**. The app loads the seller's products.
4. Select the items you want, or click **Select all**.
5. Click **Import**.

Notes

* 100 products can be imported at a time.
* eBay sellers with large inventories may take longer to load
* You can deselect any items you do not want to import
* Auto-sync will apply to imported items (based on your plan)
  {% endhint %}

#### The 100-product batch limit

Import by seller loads up to 100 products at a time. This is not a random selection, and it is not your total limit: it is the size of one batch.

To import a larger store (for example, 600 or 1000 items), import in batches. After importing the first 100, deselect them, use **Load More** to bring in the next set of listings, and import that batch. Repeat until you have covered the store.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**If Load More does not advance:** large stores can be slow to load, and the list sometimes stays on the first set of products (often the first 48). If the button does not bring in new items, wait for the store to finish loading and try again, or reload the page. If it keeps failing, contact us via [live chat](https://go.crisp.chat/chat/embed/?website_id=d24ef16e-6e05-49e9-bd59-a6f3bde0658a) with the seller link.
{% endhint %}

### Method 3. Import from a CSV file

Use a CSV when you already have a list of eBay product URLs and want to import them in one upload.

{% hint style="info" %}
**CSV format is strict.** Most CSV errors come from the file format, not the products:

* The file must have **one column** containing direct eBay product URLs.
* Do **not** include a header row (such as "Item ID" or "Product Link"). A header causes an "Invalid URL" error.
* Each URL must contain the eBay item ID. Links without an item ID will fail.
* Do not upload eBay report exports that contain price or stock columns. The app only accepts a list of product URLs.
  {% endhint %}

### Duplicates: what to expect

The app does not track which products you have already imported. If the same eBay link is processed again, the **app does not create a duplicate** product: it **updates the existing one** instead. However, each processed link still counts against your monthly import limit, so re-importing a link you already have will use up quota without adding a new product.

To avoid wasting your limit when importing a large seller in batches, deselect the products you imported in the previous batch before importing the next one.

### What gets imported, and what does not

Each import brings in the full listing: title, description, photos, and variants. A few things are worth knowing for large migrations.

| Item                     | Behavior                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Descriptions             | The full listing description is imported.                                                                                                                |
| Photos                   | Imported into the Shopify **Media** section, not into the description text. If you do not see them in the description, open the product and check Media. |
| Product weights          | Not imported. If you rely on weight-based shipping rates, add weights to the products in Shopify after import.                                           |
| Categories / collections | Not mapped automatically. Organize imported products into Shopify collections manually after they land in your catalog.                                  |

### Auto-sync after import

Automatic price and stock sync applies to imported items on the Advanced plan. On the other plans, prices and stock are fixed at the moment of import and do not update afterwards.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://reputon.gitbook.io/reputon-help/ebay-importer-app/how-to/import-products-by-seller-bulk-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
