Upload directly from Ebay
I have an Ebid SELLER+ Lifetime subscription. I have just linked my Ebay and Ebid accounts on the My Bulk Upload page so I can upload listings directly from Ebay to Ebid. Before I do this can anyone tell me if I will be charge anything for this? When I click the "Import Listings from Ebay" button there is a message which shows "eBay BuyItNow price : $100 Discount when importing : 5% eBid price after import : $95". This does not mean I will be charged $100 to do this? I thought it was free to list with a SELLER+ Lifetime subscription?
Also this won't effect any of my listings running on Ebay will it, for example, it will not end my listings on Ebay?
Re: Upload directly from Ebay
I don't think there is any charge....but I would contact support@ebid.net to ask directly!
Re: Upload directly from Ebay
I was also wondering that if I upload all my listings from eBay, will the items be removed as an active listing when it sells on either site?
Re: Upload directly from Ebay
only if you remove it, I suppose. The sites aren't related.

Thanks, I was hoping it would be like my Bonanza.com booth. They sync with my eBay store every day and remove sold items automatically. It's a great feature.

Hi, I am completely new to eBid, have just joined today with an eBid SELLER+ Lifetime subscription after being cheesed off with eBad's fees. I would like to import all my listings from eBad to eBid but it does seem complicated. I looked at installing Turbo Lister 2 in eBad but had a message to say it may harm my computer.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, thanks.

There's a new direct import facility that no longer requires Turbo Lister.
Go to My eBid > My Bulk Upload and select the Import from eBay tab. Follow the instructions there.
I have never used it, but have seen comments from those who have that say it works well.
Good luck (though, hopefully, you will not need it).

Thank you so much Astral276 - I will certainly have a go with it.
Much appreciated,

I tried this recently and will note that although it does a great job importing item photos, descriptions, formatting, etc., you still need to do a bit of cleanup:
- If you have set up a store(s), you need to go through and choose the store and store category (the software cannot determine those from the ebay site).
- 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.
