↗ List of fields and technical requirements

Required eBay CSV Fields

Below are fields (and listing types) that require a specific format.

SKU (eBay Custom Label)

Every row in the CSV must have a unique SKU.

(Except Car Compatibility "child rows")

Auction or Fixed Price

To create an Auction listing, set ListingDuration to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10.

ListingDuration	AuctionStartPrice	AuctionReservePrice	AuctionBINPrice
7	1	10	12

eBay Fixed Price (GTC) Listings will import as "Fixed-Price" automatically.

(leave ListingDuration blank)

Item Specifics

If the 3Dsellers CSV Template includes the Item Specific name (MPN, UPC, Color, etc.), no text formatting is needed.

Color	Material
Grey	ABS Plastic

If the template doesn't include an Item Specific, before the Item Specific label:

C:
Depreciated: CustomSpecifc

C:Brand	C:Type
BigBrand	Does not apply

CustomSpecificDiameter

3.45 Inches

Pro Tips:

C: can import any Item Specific (including Item Specifics in 3Dsellers CSV Mapping)
- CustomSpecific will not import Item Specifics in 3Dsellers CSV Mapping.

When uploading the CSV/Excel file, custom Item Specifics will not display in the Mapping settings.

🙌 New - Separate columns for Item Specifics Name and Value

To help you import from other software (like ChannelAdvisor), you can separate Item Specific Names and Values into 2 columns:

Ensure the column headers use the following format:

Attribute{#}Name
Attribute{#}Value

Attribute1Name	Attribute1Value	Attribute2Name	Attribute2Value
Brand	Unbranded	Color	Blue

See full details and examples

How to Include multiple values (or add commas) to an Item Specific

eBay Categories

Enter a Category ID to include eBay Categories and Store/Shop Categories.
Category and Category2 can also search text (results may vary).

Category	Category2	StoreCategory	StoreCategory2
88433	14883	33103728012	33103729012

Always include an eBay Category in your CSV.

The Category ensures the correct Required Item Specifics are assigned to the listing

How to find eBay Category IDs

Product Condition

Assign a Condition to the listing with eBay Condition IDs

Condition	ConditionNote
1000	The item is brand new, unused, unopened, and undamaged
1500	Open box, sealed inner packaging. Never Used.

Pro Tips:

Conditions may be rejected if the eBay Category does not accept it.

Condition descriptions and labels may change on eBay based on the category.
Learn more on eBay.com

eBay may need to approve your account for refurbished conditions in particular categories.

Full List of Accepted eBay Condition IDs

Shipping & Package Settings

Note: PackageType

eBay may reject a PackageType based on the Category.

In this case, please try the following:

PackageThickEnvelope works for almost every category and eBay site.
MailingBoxes works for most eBay Australia categories.

Package Dimensions & Weight

If your Shipping Policy uses Calculated Shipping, then package dimensions and weight are required.

MeasurementSystem	PackageLength	PackageWidth	PackageDepth	WeightMajor	WeightMinor
ENGLISH	20	20	20	4	2

Weight units are separated:

WeightMajor (Pounds / Kilos)
WeightMinor (Ounces / Grams) [Decimals are not allowed. Round up.]

MeasurementSystem is set automatically by the country of your eBay Account on 3Dsellers. Accepted values are ENGLISH and METRIC.

Item Location

CountryCode and Location are required for every eBay listing.

eBay uses this info for Estimated Delivery dates.

CountryCode	Location
US	Topeka,Kansas

Reminder: If the item is in the UK, enter GB for the CountryCode.

eBay Global Shipping Program (GSP) options:

Make a GlobalShipping column and set the values to TRUE..
Or, enable GSP in your Shipping Policies to apply it automatically to the listings.

Images

You can import up to 24 images per listing, and 24 images per variation.

Use Separate Columns

Create a column for each image.
Number the columns in the sort order that the images should appear on eBay.
The field Image 1 is the primary image.

Image 1	Image 2	Image 3
https://example.com/a.jpg	https://example.com/b.jpg	https://example.com/c.jpg
https://example.com/q.jpg	https://example.com/r.jpg	https://example.com/s.jpg

All Images in One Cell

Alternatively, you can include all images in one cell called ImageURLs.
Separate each URL with a comma.

ImageURLs

https://example.com/a.jpg,https://example.com/b.jpg,https://example.com/c.jpg

https://example.com/q.jpg,https://example.com/r.jpg,https://example.com/s.jpg

How to Include Variation Images

Image Hosting for Product Photos

Select an image host when you upload the CSV:

Above the Mapping table, click the Images button
The resulting 3Dsellers Drafts will use the selected image host:

3Dsellers image host backs up your photos, so eBay can't delete them. (eBay Hosting will delete 3Dsellers Draft images if not published within 30 days. Learn more)
eBay will try and host all your images automatically when you publish the 3Dsellers Drafts.

Business Policies (Returns & Shipping Settings)

Shipping and Return settings can only be set with eBay Business Policies.

You can skip these fields if all the listings use the same business policies.

Instead, you can choose policies when you bulk-publish the listings.

Find Business Policy IDs:

Navigate to: Products > Listings Manager > Business Policies

PolicyPayment	PolicyShipping	PolicyReturn
217446963020	217862221020	30097749020

Why does 3Dsellers only use Business Policies? - If you create Shipping and Return settings for individual listings, eBay automatically creates Business Policies on your account. This can lead to countless policies, making bulk listing nearly impossible in many cases. As a bulk-selling platform, we aim to prevent additional work and make your business easier to manage.

Variation Listings

Variation Listings require multiple rows:

One top "Parent Row" (main listing details)
Multiple "Child Rows" (variation details)

`E.g.`	SKU	Parent SKU	Title	C:Size	C:Color	Quantity	Price
`(parent row)`	ITM001		A Title
`(child row)`	variation_1	ITM001		M	Red	2	16.99
`(child` `row)`	variation_2	ITM001		L	Blue	2	18.99

Variation SKUs:

Each variation must have a unique SKU.
Enter the Parent Row's SKU in the Parent SKU column for each variation (Child Row). (This links the row to the parent.)

Creating Variation Options:

Item Specifics on Child Rows create the variation options.
Include all other Item Specifics on the Parent Row.

Variation Rows should only have these values:

SKU
Parent SKU
Price/Wholesale
Quantity/Warehouse
Item Specifics for Variation Options

Do not include these values on the Parent Row (except SKU).

Put all other listing data on the Parent Row.
