With the 3Dsellers Catalog, you can quickly import your existing eBay listings and publish them to Shopify in just a few clicks.

The system automatically imports your listing data, organizes it into catalog products, and prepares everything for publishing to other channels.

This guide will walk you through the simple process.


Step 1 — Import Your eBay Listings to the Catalog

First, import your existing eBay listings into the 3Dsellers Catalog.

You can import one listing or multiple listings at once.

  1. Go to Listings & Products → Active Listings

  2. Select the listings you want to import

  3. Click Bulk Actions

  4. Choose Import Products to Catalog


You can also import a single listing by clicking Import to Catalog inside the listing row.

Once selected, the import settings popup will open.


Step 2 — Confirm Import Settings

When importing listings, you can configure how products will be created and matched in the catalog.

By default, 3Dsellers matches listings by SKU.

This means:

  • Listings with the same SKU will be merged into a single catalog product

  • That product will then be linked to all the listings that share that SKU

This allows you to manage multiple listings as one product inside the catalog.

For example:

eBay Listings

SKU

Catalog Result

Listing A

ABC123

Product ABC123

Listing B

ABC123

Product ABC123

Listing C

ABC123

Product ABC123

All three listings will be connected to one catalog product.

This helps keep your catalog organized and makes it easier to publish products to other channels.

The system will import:

  • SKU

  • Images

  • Titles

  • Descriptions

  • Pricing

  • Categories

  • Tags

  • Inventory

  • Item specifics

In most cases, you can simply click Import and let the system handle everything automatically.


Step 3 — Products Are Now in Your Catalog

After the import is completed, the products will appear in the Catalog Products page.


You will also see that each listing now has a Mapping Template associated with it.

This template defines how catalog data will be sent to other channels like Shopify.


Step 4 — Verify Categories (Recommended)

When listings are imported:

  • The system automatically creates catalog categories

  • AI automatically maps them to channel categories

However, it is recommended to quickly verify that the categories mapping are correct.

You can check them here:

Catalog → Products Settings → Category Mapping

Correct category mapping ensures your products will be publish in the correct Shopify category.


Step 5 — Understand How Listing Data Becomes Catalog Data

When importing listings, the system converts listing data into Catalog Product Properties.

For example:

eBay Listing Data

Catalog Property

Listing Title

Product Property / Title

Images

Product Media

Price

Product Price

Item Specifics

Custom Attributes

This allows the catalog to act as the central product database for all your channels.


Step 6 — Publish the Product to Shopify

Once your products are in the catalog, publishing them to Shopify takes only a few clicks.

You can publish:

  • From inside the product editor

  • In bulk for multiple products


To publish in bulk:

  1. Go to Catalog → Products

  2. Select the products

  3. Click Publish to Channel

Then:

  1. Choose your Shopify store (channel)

  2. Select the Mapping Template

  3. Configure optional advanced settings if needed

  4. Click Publish as Live

The system will now create the product in Shopify.


Step 7 — Product Publishing Process

After clicking publish:

  1. The system sends the product to Shopify

  2. The product status will show In Progress

  3. Within a few seconds the listing will be created in Shopify

If everything is correct, the product will be successfully published. You will see both listings linked to the product - eBay and Shopify.


Optional — Understanding Shopify Mapping Templates

Each connected channel automatically gets a default mapping template created.

Mapping templates control how catalog data is sent to the channel.

Example mappings:

Shopify Field

Catalog Source

Title

Product Property / Title

Vendor

Product Property / Brand

Description

Product Property / Description

Price

Product Property / Price

For most users, the default template works automatically.

No setup is required.


Advanced (Optional) — Mapping eBay Item Specifics to Shopify Metafields

If you want to send additional item specifics from eBay to Shopify, you can map them as Shopify metafields.

Example: mapping the Card Slot item specific.

Steps:

  1. Go to Catalog → Products Settings → Mapping Templates

  2. Open your Shopify template

  3. Go to Custom Metafields

  4. Click Add New Metafield

  5. Create the metafield (example: card slot)

  6. Map it to the imported eBay attribute

Example mapping:

Custom Attribute / ebay US s i m card slot


You can also set a fallback value to ensure a value is always sent if the attribute is empty.

Example fallback:

Dual SIM (SIM + SIM)


This step is optional and only needed for advanced customization.


That's It — You're Ready to Sell on Shopify

With the 3Dsellers Catalog, you can easily turn your eBay listings into Shopify products.

The process is simple:

  1. Import listings from eBay

  2. Verify categories (optional)

  3. Publish to Shopify

The catalog automatically organizes your product data so you can sell across multiple channels with just a few clicks.
