Help figuring out how to mass upload listings?
Hello,
On Monday this week, I searched for a part on eBay I had listed earlier in the day and found another seller had just posted it as well. After clicking on their listing I realized they did not have any feedback (weird?). After doing a little more digging I see that they've only been a member of eBay for a week or two, BUT they have 40,000 items listed!
Now that got the wheels in my head turning, I knew they couldn't have an army working for them and they had to be using some sort of tool to be uploading these listings in bulk. So I check today, and they are now at over 60,000 listings. 60,000+ listings in less than 2 weeks!
I've contacted my distributor, and they were able to enable an option on their website so I can download all of a brands parts and the file will have all the part numbers, prices, title, link to image (in a zip format unfortunately), description, etc. Here is a link to a screenshot of how the spreadsheet looks when I get it from my distributor.

Now my question for all of you are, what is the best way for me to take this information from my distributor and turn it into eBay listings in bulk? I've researched some options, it looks like I can use Seller Manager Pro or Turbo Lister to import csv files. But I'm just sure the best way to go about it. I really want to spend as little time as possible with these listings and just get them up there in bulk ASAP. We have hundreds of thousands of products we could potentially sell, but only have 3000 listings on eBay because we've been doing it by hand...
TL;DR: Need options for taking a distributors spreadsheet filled with part numbers, prices, image links, and descriptions and turning it into eBay listings which I can upload in bulk.
Thank you!
