Here are tips for bulk editing your listings quickly and efficiently:
Start simple. Read the error or alert message to see which listings aren’t working. Submit the listings that are working, then go back to correct the error on the remaining ones.
Double check. Are you trying to edit a field such as listing format, which can’t be changed? Trying to edit an auction listing within 12 hours of auction end? Have outstanding Best Offers on a listing? These are some of the most common errors in bulk editing. Learn more about what you can and can’t edit (and when).
Compliance with eBay changes. If you’re editing an older Good 'Til Cancelled listing, that listing may not be fully in compliance with more recent changes to eBay policies. A common problem is listings that mention check or money order as payment methods, though these are no longer accepted. Edit the listing to bring it into compliance with new requirements.
Narrow it down. Try cutting down the number of fields or listings you are trying to edit at once, which will help you find what’s causing the problem.
Ask for help. Have you checked out eBay discussion boards? Here you can search for answers to questions from people who’ve faced the same dilemmas as you or ask your own question. You can also contact eBay for assistance with eBay-owned tools. For assistance with third-party tools, please contact the third-party developer directly.
