Draft Several Listings at Once with Bulk Create
Paste up to 8 items into Bulk create and let AI draft each one. Review the batch, add photos, then publish drafts individually.
Bulk create lets you draft several eBay listings in one go instead of creating them one at a time. Paste in a short list of items, choose a shared condition, and AI drafts each listing for you to review as a batch.
Where to find it
Open the Listing Helper and go to Bulk create. This is a native DashVue tool, not something pulled in from a connected marketplace tool.
How it works
- Open Listing Helper → Bulk create.
- Paste your items into the Items box, one per line. You can add up to 8 items in a single run, and a counter shows how many of the 8 you have used.
- Choose a Condition (shared) that applies to the whole batch (for example, New or Used). Every item in the run shares this one condition, or you can leave it on Let AI decide.
- Optionally choose a Template to apply a consistent style and footer across the batch, or leave it on No template.
- Select Generate. AI drafts a listing for each item on your list.
Text only: photos and publishing happen after
Bulk create writes the text of each listing (title, description, item specifics). It does not add photos. You add photos to each draft afterwards, and you publish each listing individually, not the whole batch at once.
Your results appear straight away
When the run finishes, a results list appears right below the panel with a “N of M ready” header and a Review batch button. Each line shows how that item turned out: a green tick for a finished draft (with an Edit link), an amber note if a line looked like a whole vehicle and was skipped, and an amber note if the AI was momentarily busy so you can try that item again shortly.
Limits to know before you start
- Up to 8 items per run. If you have more to list, run Bulk create again for the next batch.
- One shared condition per run. If your items have mixed conditions, split them into separate runs by condition.
- Text only. Photos are not part of the bulk step. Add them per draft after AI has written the listing text.
- Vehicles are skipped. Any line that looks like a whole vehicle (a car, motorbike, and so on) is skipped rather than drafted. List whole vehicles through eBay’s own vehicle listing form instead. Vehicle parts and accessories are fine to include.
- Drafts, not live listings. Every item in the batch is created as a draft. Nothing goes live on eBay until you open a draft, review it and publish it yourself.
Keep each line simple and specific
A clear, specific line (for example “Nike Air Max 90 Trainers UK 9 White”) gives AI more to work with than a vague one. If a draft comes out light on detail, edit it by hand during review.
Reviewing and publishing the batch
Select Review batch to open the batch page. It lists every draft, split into Waiting to publish and Published, with a settings strip that shows whether the batch pushes as eBay drafts or live listings. From here you can open any draft to check it and add photos. Go through each draft for:
- Title accuracy and formatting
- Description quality
- Category and item specifics (make sure they fit the item)
- Price and quantity, since AI never sets these, you do
- Photos, which you add per draft during review
You need a Full Access eBay connection to publish
To publish any draft to eBay you need a connected eBay account with full access granted to DashVue. With a read-only connection you can still create and edit bulk drafts, but you’ll need full access before you can publish them. DashVue publishes fixed-price (Buy It Now) listings only.
AI usage
Drafting a batch with Bulk create uses AI actions. Every account gets a monthly allowance of free AI actions, and you can add an AI pack for more if you need it. AI drafting also has fair-use limits, an hourly cap and a monthly allowance, so if you hit a limit mid-run, wait a while and try again.
