How do I do a Bulk Upload?

To efficiently upload multiple listings at once, consider using our bulk upload feature. This tool allows you to list numerous items simultaneously, streamlining the process and saving you time.

 

Listing Template Instructions

 

Note: Bulk upload functionality is available only on a desktop computer.

 

1. Download the Listing Template:
   - Log into your account and select 'My Account' in the top header bar.
   - Select either 'My Listings' or 'Inventory'.
   - In the top right corner, select the 'Bulk Upload' button.
   - Within the Pop up, Select the word 'template' highlighted in bold under the listing header to initiate an automatic download of the listing template.

 

2. Fill in the Listing Template:
   - Open the downloaded template and input your listing details from left to right, ensuring all information is entered correctly.
   - Refer to the 'Instructions' tab within the template for detailed field requirements.
   - For fields like Make, Model, Generation, Series, and Trim, ensure the spelling matches exactly with that on our platform. Use the 'Check My Vehicle Details' resource linked here and within the Excel document.
   - Some columns feature dropdown menus for easy selection. Note that while some dropdowns work independently, others are interconnected and must be used sequentially.

Mandatory Fields: Marked in blue, these fields must be completed to ensure a successful upload.
Optional Fields: Marked in green, these can be left blank but filling them can increase the visibility of your listings.

 

3. Save Your Completed Template:
   - After entering all required information, save the document on your computer.

 

4. Upload the Completed Template:
   - Go back to the Bulk Upload section on the website.
   - Drag and drop the file into the designated area or use the upload field to select your template.

 

5. Confirm and Submit:
   - Select the ‘Upload’ button to complete the upload process. You will receive an email notification confirming the successful upload of your listings.
   - It’s recommended to upload images along with your listing template to avoid the need for manual image uploads later. 

 

Bulk Uploading Images:

1. Prepare Your Images:
   - Ensure that each image is named according to the row number in the listing template followed by a sequence number in the order you want the images to present in the listing (e.g., 5-1, 5-2 for the fifth row in the listing template).
   - Verify that images are in one of the supported formats (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .heic) and do not exceed 3 MB each.

 

2. Download the Image Template:
   - Go to the Bulk Upload section and download the image upload template (zip archive) that includes example images.

 

3. Replace Example Images with Your Images:
   - Replace the example images in the zip file with your prepared images, maintaining the naming conventions.

 

4. Create a Zip Archive:
   - Compress all your images into a single zip archive, ensuring the total file size does not exceed 5 GB.

 

5. Upload the Zip File:
   - Upload the zip file containing your images in the same Bulk Upload section where you uploaded your listing template. Drag and drop the file into the designated area or use the upload field to select your template.

 

6. Confirm and Submit:
   - After uploading the zip file, submit the upload. The system will process the images and match them with the corresponding listings based on the names provided.
   - You will receive an email notification detailing the status of the image uploads and any issues encountered.

 

Final Steps:

- Monitor your email for any notifications regarding the status of your bulk uploads.
- Once processed, check your listings and images on the platform to ensure everything appears as expected.

 

Note: Listing Template and Image can be uploaded at the same time.
