eBay CSV Fixer
Fix eBay listing CSV files before bulk upload. StriveFormats validates eBay File Exchange fields—title length, condition codes, price formatting, duration values, image URLs—and auto-fixes safe issues.
eBay File Exchange uploads reject rows silently when condition codes are wrong, titles exceed 80 characters, prices include currency symbols, or duration values don't match expected formats. Fix these before uploading.
What it catches
- Missing required fields (Title, StartPrice, Quantity)
- Titles that exceed eBay's 80-character limit
- Invalid or unrecognized ConditionID codes
- Unrecognized Duration values (must be GTC or Days_N)
- Invalid listing Format (FixedPriceItem or Chinese only)
- Image URLs that aren't valid http(s) addresses
- Duplicate CustomLabel (SKU) values across rows
What it auto-fixes (safe only)
- Trims hidden whitespace
- Normalizes price formatting (removes currency symbols)
- Normalizes Action casing (e.g., "add" → "Add")
- Cleans PictureURL lists and removes empty entries
- Enforces canonical eBay File Exchange column order
If a fix could change meaning or data, it stays as a flagged issue for manual review.
How to use it
- Export your listing data or prepare a CSV using the eBay File Exchange template.
- Upload the CSV in the app with the eBay Listings preset selected.
- Resolve blocking errors (title length, missing price) then review warnings.
- Export a cleaned file ready for File Exchange bulk upload.
FAQ
What is eBay File Exchange?
eBay File Exchange is eBay's bulk listing management tool. It accepts CSV files with specific column names and values to create, revise, or end listings in bulk. This fixer validates your CSV against those requirements before you upload.
What ConditionIDs are valid?
Common codes: 1000 (New), 2500 (Like New), 3000 (Good), 4000 (Acceptable), 5000 (For parts or not working). The fixer flags unrecognized IDs so you can correct them before upload.
Will it fix my titles automatically?
No. Shortening a title might remove important keywords, so the fixer flags over-limit titles for you to edit manually rather than truncating them automatically.
