Import Listings

← All WonderLister user guides

Brings your listings down from eBay. It runs by itself when you first link an eBay account; this is how you
run it again — after adding a marketplace, or when something on eBay is not in WonderLister.

The Import Listings section of eBay Sync

A date range, and the buttons that start and stop the import.

Where to find it

Open eBay Sync from the application bar and choose
Import Listings.

The controls

Control What it does
Select start and end dates Limits the import to listings in that range. Leave it empty to let eBay decide the range, which is
what you want for a first import.
Clear Empties the date range.
Start Import Queues the import.
Cancel Stops an import that is running.
Only configured sites are imported. The import covers the marketplaces ticked on
eBay Sites for the accounts linked on
Manage eBay Accounts. A listing on a site you never ticked will not
come across, however many times you run this.

When to use a date range

Situation Dates
First import after linking an account Leave empty — you want everything.
A handful of recent listings are missing Narrow it to the days involved. Much faster.
Repairing an old part of your history Set the range around it, rather than re-importing everything.

How an import runs

Pressing Start Import queues the work and gives you the application back. eBay returns large
results a page at a time, and each page is recorded — so
Activity Logs shows how far it has got, not just whether it finished. You are
e-mailed when it completes, unless you have turned those e-mails off in
Preferences.

FAQ

Q: A listing on eBay has not appeared.
A: Check its marketplace is ticked on eBay Sites and its
account is linked. Then run the import for a date range around when the listing was created.
Q: Will importing overwrite my edits?
A: An import brings eBay’s version down. A listing you have edited and not yet
submitted is deliberately held back from refreshes — see
Listing Submissions.
Q: It has been running a long time.
A: A large account genuinely takes a while. Activity
Logs
shows which page of the results it has reached.
Q: Will it create duplicates?
A: No. Listings are matched on eBay’s own item number, so re-importing updates what
is already there.
