Importing from eBay
For bringing the stock you already sell on eBay into your shop, with its titles, prices, photos and quantities. Open Your products and press Import from eBay.
Preview, check, then link to import
Type any eBay username and press Preview listings to see its live card game listings — the count, and the first fifty with their pictures and prices.
Press Check all … listings to read every one of them and see exactly how many are in the shared catalogue, how many would become your own products, and which graded cards still need their slab details. Checking adds nothing to your shop and needs no linking.
To actually import, you must first link your eBay account on the eBay page (eBay in the menu, then Connect eBay), then come back to the import. The import page says this at the top, and Go to the eBay page takes you there. Linking is how we know the listings are yours, so only the listings of the account linked to your shop can be imported; once linked, the import page names that account. Linking needs the eBay permission, so a member of staff without it is told to ask whoever runs eBay for the shop.
What each listing becomes
| The listing | What you get |
|---|---|
| Found 100% in the shared catalogue — the same set and card number, the same barcode, or exactly the same name in the same set | A catalogue listing, so the card keeps its set, rarity and market price — and your eBay photo is used as its picture instead of the catalogue artwork, unless you had already given it one. |
| Anything else, including a near match | One of your own custom products, with the eBay title, description, price and photo. These count towards your plan's allowance for your own products. |
| Graded cards | Exactly the same, as a slab: the grading company, grade and certificate number come from the eBay listing, and each slab comes in with 1 in stock. |
| Already in your shop (its SKU, the eBay item number, is in use) | Left out, so importing the same listings twice brings nothing in the second time. |
"100%" is deliberate: a listing whose title only looks like a catalogue card is never guessed at. It comes in as your own product, and you can claim the catalogue card later if it was one.
Graded cards and their slab details
A slab needs its grading company (PSA, BGS, CGC or ACE), its grade and its certificate number, plus the label for ACE. eBay listings often leave the certificate number out. Those cards are listed on the check page under Graded cards that need their slab details: fill in what is missing, press Save slab details, and they import with the rest. Any you leave are skipped and listed at the end, and you can add them by hand from the card's page afterwards. A card graded by another company cannot be recorded as a slab.
When it sells on eBay
Your eBay listings stay live, and when one of them sells, it is taken off your shelf here automatically, so your website cannot sell the same card twice. You are emailed straight away with what sold, who bought it, the price and how many you have left. The email goes to your shop's email address, or to your account email if the shop has none set, and you can reword it under Emails as Sold on eBay (to you). You still post it from eBay as usual. The sale is also listed on the eBay page under Sold on eBay.
No platform fee on its eBay sales
Everything brought in with Import from eBay carries none of our platform fee when it sells on eBay. Sold on your own website, it pays your plan's usual percentage like everything else. Stock you already had before the import keeps its usual fee on eBay as well.
Price, stock and condition
The price is the eBay price, in your shop's currency. Stock is the quantity eBay shows; where eBay does not say how many you have, the item comes in with 1 in stock, so check those. The card condition comes from the listing — Near mint or better becomes NM, Lightly played becomes LP, and so on. Each item's SKU is its eBay item number.
Where everything goes in your menu
There is no categories step — everything is placed for you, and the check page says where each of your own products will go before you import.
- A card found in the shared catalogue sits under its game, as every catalogue card does.
- If you have mapped your menu categories to eBay categories on the eBay page, a listing from one of those eBay categories goes into the category you mapped.
- Otherwise an accessory goes into the matching Accessories category — sleeves, deck boxes, playmats, binders or dice — by what its title says.
- Anything else goes under the game the listing names, in its item specifics, its eBay category or its title, and into Singles, Sealed or Decks by its eBay category and title.
- Where none of that finds a home, it comes in without a category; give it one from the product's page afterwards.
Nothing changes on eBay — so watch the eBay listing tools
Importing never touches your eBay listings; they stay live exactly as they are. That also means these items are already on eBay, and the eBay page's listing wizard and automatic listing rules do not know that. Do not run a rule or the wizard over imported stock, or the same items will be listed on eBay a second time.
