Importing your eBay listings to Shopify with Salestio eBay Product Import

Sellers who built their business on eBay hit an awkward problem when they open a Shopify store. The catalogue already exists, in the wrong place. Rebuilding it by hand costs days and introduces mistakes.

eBay Product Import reads your eBay listings and creates the corresponding Shopify products, including titles, images, variations and quantities, so the store starts populated. The regular integration then keeps the two sides aligned.

What you will learn

  • How Product Import differs from the outbound eBay integration.
  • Which eBay listing data becomes Shopify product data.
  • How to import selectively rather than all at once.
  • How stock stays aligned between the imported products and their eBay listings.

Steps shown in the video

  1. Install the Salestio eBay Product Import app and connect your eBay account.
  2. Select the eBay listings you want to bring across.
  3. Review how listing data maps onto Shopify product fields.
  4. Run the import and check the created products in Shopify.
  5. Keep quantity in step between the eBay listing and the new Shopify product.

Questions about this workflow

Yes. Salestio eBay Product Import is its own app because it solves the opposite problem to the integration, creating store products from marketplace listings rather than listings from store products. Many sellers install both.
Quantity can be kept in step after import, so an eBay sale is reflected in the Shopify product. For full two-way management of price and listing content, pair Product Import with the eBay integration.
