    I completely agree with you, but have still found it much better than having to start again, especially with the photos - nightmare!
    I noticed that some of my New items were described as Used, so I have gone in and am checking them all. Also, if you list as Buy Now and want Offers, you have to go in and confirm that, as it hasn't migrated from eBad.

    - You should also check to make sure that the category matches (some ebid categories differ from ebay)

    - Look to verify the Returns and Postage fields (if the ebay listing uses a policy different than what you have set up here at ebid, then it will try to match close to the ebay version).

    - If your descriptions include links to ebay, such as cross-promoting your listings there, the URLs will be stripped out.

    I found it to be a quite useful tool, and even with having to verify the results, the process was faster than uploading the photos and manually reentering the info.
    Will Just add to this too.

    Ebid is not feebay so remember this when importing have someone imported just over 6 thousand listings into a store in my category putting there store near the top of the list and they have imported them all with the feebay tactic of not paying the postage fee and have listed them all as free postage but its not really free its combined with the actual item price.
    There is no need for this on ebid as they don't charge fees for postage. This now has a down side that one of the top stores in my category looks like they have inflated prices this could put customers off from buy comics from this site.

    Please if you are importing remember why you came here in the first place and please tweak listing to suit here rather then dump a load of unattractive listings on the site. Also remember that some types of listing on greedbay work well there but not here so be mindful of that when importing also.

    Also offering "free" postage means you pay 2% fees on the item including the postage. It is better on this site to offer the postage seprately.

    Default Re: Upload directly from Ebay

    Hi Everyone!

    I am new to bid after total frustration with you know who. I have transferred all my currently running listings from eBay to eBid. Does anyone know if you can transfer over all your unsold items on eBay onto eBid? I have no desire to resist them back on eBay at .30c a listing, was letting them sit for one of their free promotions. I don't want to go in and manually save all the photos again, and transfer each one over one at a time. Any ideas? Many thanks!

    Second question: Does anyone know if you can transfer your eBay feedback to Ebid or do you have to start at 0?

    Appreciate it !

    As far as I know, you can only import/transfer active listings. For unsold, you have to manually cut and paste descriptions, etc. from one browser tab (or window) to another tab/window for a New or "List Similar" ebid item. Photos would have to be re-uploaded (if no longer on your computer, right-click on the old listing photos and save again to your machine).

    You can transfer your feedback. Go to the left sidebar, then scroll down to "My Feedback" and there will be a tab for "Import Feedback" (takes a bit of time for the imported number to show up, and there seems to be some sort of cutoff for the feedbacks imported).

    I have never seen the point of Importing feedback from greedbay as it is just reams and reams of feedback post just say imported from another site whats the point?

    Imported feedback indicates that the seller is not a complete novice online seller. This seems to be important to some buyers.
    In my opinion, imported feedback should be automatically removed after 12 months.

    When I make some listings, and if they are on both places I usually offer a different price or FREE postage.

    Generally I need to be consistant with my prices as I sell in many differnet places, however the postage is the better option to adjust to relect your lower costs on this site.

    As for the Bulk Upload, its a good way rather than rewriting all the details again, but if you have already have listings of the same product, a bulk upload is instant and annoyingly you cannot seem to pick which ones to live upload during that process.
    So if you upload 5 items and 2 are already in ebid, two will be duplicated, although with options merged from the other site, needing editing.

    Double check all the options, but really I feel it should be BEFORE it goes live and not AFTER Ebid uploads your Bulk transfer. Simple hold at that point & a tick box to edit/post or delete.

    As yet I have little time to list, just occasionally my own exclusives so there are no competition with my actual products however the amount of people now on ebid, the bidding for auctions isnt the same.

    A good positive is using fixed pricing rather than (just) auction pricing you get your items listed with Google Shopping which is a bonus, and can help sell them from other places through the google search finds if the customer doesnt come over to Ebid.

    Can you run the import from Ebay more than once? Or would that make duplicate listings?
    Thank you
