How to import eBay listings to Etsy

Short answer

Etsy has no built-in import from eBay, and its CSV option only downloads listings, it does not create them. To move eBay listings to Etsy you copy them by hand, use a crosslisting tool that fills the Etsy form, or use a bulk uploader. First check the item is allowed: Etsy only accepts handmade items, vintage items at least 20 years old and craft supplies.

The shortcut: Crosslisty imports an eBay listing and fills the Etsy form for you in seconds: title, description, price and photos. Free for 5 fills a day.

Key takeaways

No native eBay import on Etsy, and no CSV upload for new listings.
Only handmade, vintage (20+ years) and craft supply items are allowed, so most new retail stock is not.
Etsy charges $0.20 per listing (4 months), 6.5% of the sale including shipping, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing in the US.
eBay titles can be 80 characters; Etsy allows 140, so you have room to add keywords.

Updated October 2026. Crosslisty is a Chrome extension (it also works in Brave and Edge) that copies a listing to the other marketplaces, fills each form for you, and removes sold items from your other listings.

Check the item is allowed on Etsy first

Etsy is not a general marketplace. Its rules allow items you made or designed, vintage items at least 20 years old, and craft supplies. New commercial goods and used items under 20 years old are not allowed, and Etsy can remove them.

That rules out much of a typical eBay inventory. Vintage clothing, collectibles and handmade goods move well; this season’s brand-name clothing does not. See crosslisting Etsy vintage to eBay for the other direction.

Way 1: copy each listing by hand

Open the eBay listing and save its photos.
In Etsy Shop Manager, choose Add a listing.
Upload the photos, then paste the title and description.
Pick Etsy’s category and fill in when it was made and who made it.
Set the price, quantity, shipping profile and processing time, then publish.

This is fine for a handful of items. It takes several minutes each, mostly on photos and retyping.

Way 2: a crosslisting tool

A crosslisting tool reads the eBay listing and fills the Etsy form for you. Crosslisty’s eBay to Etsy guide shows the steps: import the eBay listing with one click, press Etsy, and the Etsy form opens with the title, description, price and photos filled in. You check the Etsy-only fields and publish.

Other tools that support eBay to Etsy include Vendoo, List Perfectly and Crosslist. They cost more but add bulk tools.

Way 3: a bulk uploader

If you have hundreds of eligible items, a spreadsheet uploader that connects to Etsy can create listings in bulk. These are paid third-party apps, and you still need to map each column to Etsy’s fields and check the results.

What Etsy costs

$0.20 to list an item, which lasts four months. Renewing, and each extra unit sold from a multi-quantity listing, costs another $0.20.
6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap.
In the US, 3% + $0.25 payment processing per order.
A one-time shop set-up fee may apply when you open a shop.

Compare marketplaces side by side in the marketplace fees comparison.

Fields that do not carry over

Etsy asks who made the item, what it is and when it was made. eBay has no equivalent.
Etsy categories and attributes differ from eBay’s item specifics.
Shipping profiles and processing times are set on Etsy separately.
Etsy allows 13 tags per listing; eBay has none, so add them yourself.
