Running a successful multi-platform online business is rewarding, but if there’s one universal truth about selling online, it’s that time is money.

Enter List Perfectly’s unlimited Merge Feature, available on all plans. Merge is designed to streamline your listing process by transferring item specifics from a listing you find on a marketplace. Rather than entering all item details or specifics, the Merge Feature pulls information from an already-done listing, automatically populating your List Perfectly Listings with crucial listing details allowed by each Marketplace’s “Sell Similar” feature.

The Merge Feature is ideal for higher-priced items like luxury purses, car parts, electronics, media, trading cards, popular tennis shoes, and much more. Attention to detail is everything with high-value items. Your listings get a professional edge, which attracts buyers and gives you peace of mind that no critical details are missing.

Are you nervous when a high-priced item sells out? When your listings have abundant item specifics, you reduce the opportunity for buyers to open or win cases against you.

With the Merge Feature, you don’t have to manually type, check, or select item specifics like category, serial number, model number, detailed measurements, or style. Let’s explore how this powerful feature works, its usefulness, and how it can transform your listing experience.

Meet the Merge Feature: your time-saving listing assistant

The Merge Feature copies the allowed item specifics directly from your List Perfectly listing into the final listing to be published, sparing you the tedious work of manually filling these fields. Whether you’re just starting or are an experienced seller, the Merge Feature is an invaluable tool for scaling up your operations without the repetitive tasks.

How to use List Perfectly’s Merge Feature

Here’s a step-by-step guide on merging listings on popular marketplaces like eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, Depop, Grailed, and Mercari.

Step 1: Open the List Perfectly Extension

If you are merging with eBay listings, first select Settings, eBay Marketplace, and check the box for Enable Sell Similar on our extension.

Step 2: Locate the “Merge” Button on the extension

Once the extension is open, navigate to the “Actions” menu and look for the “MERGE” button. This is your shortcut to faster, easier listings!

Merging listings on eBay

Let’s start with eBay, one of the top marketplaces for sellers. With the Merge Feature, you can merge details from your listings or use similar items from other eBay sellers as a starting point.

Merging with a new eBay listing

Pick a listing from your List Perfectly catalog

Open your List Perfectly catalog, locate the item you want to merge, and click the title to open its single listing view.

Open a similar listing on eBay

Open a new tab and find a comparable item on eBay. Scroll to the “Sell Now” button and click it to open a draft listing.

Click the Merge button

Return to your List Perfectly extension and hit “MERGE.” A window will pop up asking you to confirm which listing to merge—just click “Merge” to proceed.

Watch the details transfer

The fields on the eBay draft will automatically fill in with item specifics that eBay’s Sell Similar feature allows, saving you time while keeping your listing accurate!

Merging listings on Etsy Poshmark, Grailed, Depop, and Mercari

Each step eliminates the repetitive work of entering item specifics and ensures that your listings are consistent across platforms, boosting your chances of reaching more buyers. Please check the Guide to List Perfectly for step-by-step instructions with videos and images.

Tips for getting the most from the Merge Feature

While the Merge Feature is straightforward, a few tips will help you get the most out of it:

Double-check unique details

The Merge Feature retains all item specifics but always double-checks unique attributes like price or shipping details to ensure they meet each marketplace’s standards.

Use the merge feature for consistency

Keeping listings consistent across platforms helps build trust with buyers and presents a professional image, leading to higher conversions.

Experiment with similar listings

One unique advantage of the Merge Feature is its flexibility. You can use the Sell Similar feature to test different formats or styles for listings and then use List Perfectly to carry over the unique elements from your listings.

Why the Merge Feature matters for your business

With the Merge Feature, you spend less time on time-consuming listing tasks and reduce manual errors. It’s an ideal tool for sellers who want to focus on scaling their business, sourcing the products we mentioned before, and engaging with buyers with better questions rather than administrative tasks.

Moreover, the Merge Feature is available on all List Perfectly plans, meaning you don’t need to upgrade to enjoy this convenience. It’s an inclusive feature designed to help businesses grow, whether you’re a casual seller or a full-time professional.

Final thoughts

Selling online doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With the Merge Feature, List Perfectly helps you manage your listings seamlessly and keeps your inventory accurate across platforms without repetitive tasks. Think of it as a shortcut that respects your time while maintaining a polished online presence. So, let the Merge Feature take care of the heavy lifting next time you’re ready to list on eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, or any other List Perfectly-supported platforms.

BTW Happy selling!
