Help requested.
I went back to Ebay and am opening a Mercari shop. I sell nothing on Tradesy - get very few views on my listings & have to ask ridiculous prices to make money because of the high commission. The thing is, Ebay drives me crazy because unsold items get knocked out of the que which means every month or so, I basically have to recreate new listings. So I want to move them over to Tradesy to basically "park" my inventory there so I can just copy and paste without having to do the whole thing over every month on Ebay. I don't yet know how long a listing lasts on Mercari.
So my question is - does anyway know an app or an easy way just to move the listings from Ebay to Tradesy? I don't have an Ebay shop - I just take advantage of free listings which I get a lot of additional offers besides the original 50 because I guess, I'm above standard with 100% feedback.
I have my Tradesy store on permanent vacation.
Or conversely - any other way to "park" the Ebay listings so they don't disappear and have to be recreated? I guess I can ask that over on the Ebay forum but I have a feeling - anyone reading this forum is also reading that forum.
Thank you for any help you can offer. Much appreciate my sistas!
I don't know why you are having this problem. I have 2 ebay accounts. I create my listings on ebay once. The longest duration for a BIN listing is 30 days but you can select good until canceled which will automatically renew listings every time they expire. The only problem with this is that if you have already used all your free listings, you'll be charged when these listings renew. So, I never use the good until canceled option.
I don't know why your unsold items are getting knocked out of the queue. Mine stay in the queue for about 2 months. This isn't usually a problem for me because I relist them before they fall off. When you get extra free listings, you can relist everything, and if you don't really want them listed, just end them. That should buy you another 2 months before the listings fall off.
I rarely create a new listing from scratch. I create a new listing by using the sell similar button. That way at least some of the stuff is already there.
I don't care for the Bonanza import function. When I used it last, I wanted to import all my listings from ebay once, and did not choose to sync my ebay account with Bonz. When the listings were imported, only one or two pictures were imported. I ended up having to upload the rest of the photos manually. Also the descriptions weren't formatted correctly. Bonz doesn't have a condition description box so you have to make sure you add that information to the description. Anyway, after I did all this work to correct the descriptions and add the missing pictures, the listings disappeared from Bonz when they expired on ebay, even though it wasn't supposed to be synced. Ever since then, I've been creating each listing manually on each site.
I believe that Tradesy has an ebay import function but it is only available to business sellers. In any case, since both sites don't have all the same data fields, a lot of information would end up lost.
