Product from my website to eBay -- Any API's/Programs?

[TomUK]

Hi guys,

I have a website powered by prestahop with 1000's of products. Any easy way to list them all on eBay UK? Any API that will extract all info - Pics - product info - quantity - price etc and uplaod them to eBay for me?

If not anyone have any solutions to this problem? Maybe outsource it to India and have someone manually do it?

I think ebay has some sort of the software that makes posting loads of products easy, can't remember how its called (selling manager or something like that) but check on their website.

Selling Manager Pro does allow the update of items via a CSV file, the structure of which is published on eBay's website here:

If you can download a CSV file from your website with all your product info you can upload it using file transfer using Selling Manager Pro, I'm sure you can do the same with Turbo lister this will allow you to edit your listings before uploading to eBay.

Sorry to sound stupid (OK I know it's normal for me!)

But what is a CSV file???

 

[johndon68]

It stands for Comma Seperated Values where each line of the file consists of columns of data with each column seperated by a comma.

Sorry John ~ Thats just me!

I'm looking at taking on a EKM site,,, Any FB on them?

 

[johndon68]

Never used it personally but we've just added integration to EKM to our products and the customers we've got so far seem to like EKM...

A .CSV file can be opened with Microsoft excel.

As for EKM not heard anything bad about them, there are many eBayers who use them, I've used Firepages . com. Very very reasonable priced and support is fantastic. In my fourth year of using them. Worth a look before you make your decision.

Thanks can you PM me the firepages link?

As I can't seem to find them (via Google)!

If you can export/save a copy of your product database into a CSV file I can produce a macro to read this and convert to a turbo lister compatible file, and place the descriptions/images into a professional template.

You see so many examples of poor listings where the user has clearly just exported the limited product info into a listing with nothing else, I expect not understanding how eBay is different to an e-commerce site. Each listing should include your header/banner, images, payment details, returns policy, delivery details etc which would be separate items on an e-commerce site. A costly mistake if you have 1000's of products!
