Overview of the CSV Bulk Update Process

The 3Dsellers platform allows you to bulk update variation images using a CSV file. This requires an explicit mapping of your eBay variation identifiers to the respective image URLs. Follow these steps:

Prepare Your CSV File:
- Include a column for variation identifiers such as SKU or variation specifics (e.g., size, color).
- Add a corresponding column for the image URLs.
Upload the CSV:
- Access the CSV update tool in 3Dsellers.
- Navigate to the bulk update section for variations.
- Upload the CSV file and ensure proper field mapping to match the variation identifiers to the images.
Enable Relevant Options:
- Ensure that the correct settings for updating variations are enabled to apply the images to the intended listings correctly.

Create Variation Row - Spreadsheet

Mapping variation images requires a few column headers and values. For quick reference, these are the basic variation image column headers: An important clarification is that the platform does not automatically assign images to variations based on image filenames or SKUs, and explicit mapping through a CSV file is required.

VariationImageOption

VariationImageValue1

VariationImage1_1

Getting Started

We are going to walk through a real-world example.

The table below shows the Variation CSV we need to assign images to:

SKU	Parent SKU	Color	CustomSpecific Size
skuPARENT
sku-red-2	skuPARENT	red	2 cm
sku-red-3	skuPARENT	red	3 cm
sku-blue-2	skuPARENT	blue	2 cm
sku-blue-3	skuPARENT	blue	3 cm

To map the variation images, we need:

Variation Options: The variation Item Specifics names (Color and Size)
Variation Values: The value for the Item Specifics (red, blue, and
Image Hosting Does Not Auto-Map Images: The platform does not automatically assign images to variations based on image filenames or SKUs, even if uploaded to an image hosting service. Explicit mapping through a CSV file is required. 2 cm, 3 cm)

Step 1 - Choose a Variation Option for Images

Important: Variation image data must be placed in the Parent SKU row.

Use the column VariationImageOption to enter the Item Specific Name as the Variation Option. (eBay only allows one variation option for variation images)

Color	CustomSpecific Size	VariationImageOption
		Color
red	2 cm
red	3 cm
blue	2 cm
blue	3 cm

Step 2 - Set Images for a Variation Value

Use the column VariationImageValue1 to enter an Item Specific value.

Color	VariationImageOption	VariationImageValue1
	Color	red
red
red
blue
blue

Each variation image value will progress in the order:

VariationImageValue1,
VariationImageValue2,
VariationImageValue3,
VariationImageValue4, etc.

Use column headers progressing like: VariationImage1_1 , VariationImage1_2 to enter up to 12 image URLs:

Color	VariationImageOption	VariationImageValue1	VariationImage1_1	VariationImage1_2
	Color	red	example.com/red.jpg	example.com/rd.jpg
red
red
blue
blue

Step 3 - Set Variation Images for Other Variation Values

Repeat step 2 for other variation values, progressing the numbers like: VariationImageValue2, VariationImage2_x.

Color	VariationImageOption	VariationImageValue1	VariationImage1_1	VariationImage1_2	VariationImageValue2	VariationImage2_1	VariationImage2_2
	Color	red	example.com/red.jpg	example.com/rd2.jpg	blue	example.com/blue.jpg	example.com/blu.jpg
red
red
blue
