    Unless your own site uses a spreadsheet or database that coincidentally matches the upload format for ebid (chances seem slim!) I fear you're looking at a copy and paste job.

    Hi

    Yes I thought that will be the way, copy & paste, but how do I do that too?
    Sorry for being so thick!!!!!!

    That's a wee bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, but I'll try to give some pointers.

    You have have two places you can paste into - either the bulk upload spreadsheet, or the listing web page.

    If you use the spreadsheet, I'd suggest building one "perfect" listing by the normal web page "sell" options, tweaking it until it's a good template for everything else, then use the "export" option to save your listing to the spreadsheet so you can see exactly what goes where. Then paste in from your own site or spreadsheet or database (I've no way of know which of those!) into the appropriate fields (description, shipping cost etc).

    If you don't like the spreadsheet, or prefer to work with the web form, you'll need to set up your default values first (where you ship to etc) in the "my defaults) area. Then create a new listing using "sell", populate the basics using defaults, and then copy in the variable stuff from your own source, as above.

    There's a lot of stuff packed in those two short paragraphs, so I suggest you have an explore about "my ebid" looking at the bulk uploader and defaults, before you take it any further. Once you've had a play and got some idea of what's involved, you'll probably have more specific questions.
