DUPLICATE LISTINGS

[block36]

I am trying my best to migrate my items to $Cdn and have converted few.

Was so proud of myself but for some reason decided to check the listings and discovered that I have created duplicate listings in Cdn. currency while the listings in US currency are still active.

Too bad the system did not beep!

Now I go one by one to establish the item number for each US listing to end it... Then I attend "unsold items" to delete this US listing from there before I try to relist again although in Cdn. currency.

So easy to make an error and so much time consuming!

Seems to me that primitive individual relisting with currency change as part of it is the safest method.

eBay's duplicate listing scanner might work

This might help find the duplicates...  you have to view the listings on a stated site.... such as eBay Canada  or eBayUS

Thank you very much for this link - very helpful!  

When I find there an OBVIOUS duplicate listing, I have to copy and paste the item number on the list and to attend later on individual basis to process the "end item" ?

I did not find that I can end duplicate listing(s) while reviewing this table.

Thank you again!

Use a split screen option if you can....  

or run the two options at the same time.... and move between options

Find the duplicates on the left... using eBay's  duplicate  scanner 

Find the listing you want to delete on the right ....where all of your listings are listed ... in  Active listings under My eBay

------------------------------------------------------------------

or ... find the ID number of the listing you want to delete  on the left screen and on the right screen use  the Advance option next to the  Search Tab at the upper right  corner of a page and the  add the ID number  to find the listing... again working two different screens....

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Or Copy the ID number of the duplicate....  and transfer the ID number  to the Advance option... Find the listing and end it...

I was not aware of this duplicate item tool. Thanks 🙂

In locating duplicate items on eBay's site, I find it useful to list my active items and sort them by Title. The duplicates will show up sorted next to each other, and then you can choose the appropriate one to end. This approach is best for a few hundred items at most. You would probably not want to do this for thousands of listings.

"You would probably not want to do this for thousands of listings."

I have been using that method (viewing listings alphabetically) for as long as I can remember,  even when I had 4,000+ listings on eBay (prior to my retirement)

You set up your Selling Manager  - Active Listings - at 200 items per page.  It does not take that long to view 10 or 20 pages, does it?
