Rewriting titles and descriptions in bulk with AI

Bulk AI rewrite lets you refresh the titles and descriptions of several listings at once instead of editing them one by one. It runs in three steps: you configure the rewrite, AI proposes new wording for each listing, and you review the proposals and publish only the ones you approve back to eBay.

What it is, and what it is not

This tool is for refreshing wording that has gone stale, not for quick manual edits. It is not a find-and-replace editor and it is not a way to add a fixed prefix or suffix to a batch of titles. Every listing gets its own AI-generated proposal based on its current title and description, rather than the same text change applied mechanically across the selection.

It also never touches price. Bulk AI rewrite only proposes changes to the title and, optionally, the description. If you want to change prices across a selection, use a bulk price drop instead.

Step 1: Configure the rewrite

Go to Listings, tick the checkboxes for the listings you want to refresh, then choose the AI rewrite option from the bulk action bar. The configure view opens and tells you how many of your selected listings are eligible (a listing must be active and linked to a real eBay item). Pick a Tone for the wording (Friendly, Concise, Detailed or Professional), and decide whether AI should change titles only or also rewrite the description. Leaving the Also rewrite the descriptionswitch off changes titles only.

When you press Generate, AI writes a proposed title (and description, if you turned that on) for each eligible listing. Nothing has changed on eBay at this point, these are just proposals for you to review.

Step 2: Review the proposals

The review view lists every proposal side by side: the current title struck through, a green arrow, and the new AI title beneath it with a live character counter against eBay's 80-character limit. If you included descriptions, the rewritten description preview appears under the title. Tick the proposals whose wording you want to keep. Listings that could not be rewritten are flagged and left out.

You are not required to publish every proposal in the batch. If AI suggests wording you do not like for a particular listing, leave that one unticked and it keeps its existing title and description. Only the listings you tick are pushed back to eBay when you publish.

Step 3: Publish and see the results

Pressing Publish pushes only the ticked rewrites to eBay using the Trading API, which revises each listing in place so its sales history is kept and its price is never touched. When it finishes, a results summary shows how many listings were published, skipped or failed, with a per-listing outcome for each one.

Why review before publishing

AI proposals are a starting point, not an automatic replacement. Comparing the old and new wording for each listing before you approve it lets you catch anything that does not fit the item, drops a detail you wanted kept, or does not read the way you would write it yourself. Because publishing is a separate, deliberate step from generating the proposals, you always get a chance to check before anything changes on eBay.

AI actions and your allowance

Generating a proposal for a listing uses one of your AI actions, the same allowance used elsewhere in DashVue. Every account gets a monthly allowance of free AI actions, with an hourly cap, and optional AI Lite, AI Pro or AI Elite packs if you need more. Running a bulk rewrite across a large selection can use up your allowance faster than rewriting listings individually, so it is worth checking your remaining AI actions before rewriting a large batch.
