Selling on multiple marketplaces gives you more exposure.
But it also creates more opportunities for mistakes.
Duplicate listings.
Forgotten delists.
Broken relists.
Sold items still active.
If you’ve ever wondered why something didn’t update correctly, the answer is often simple:
It wasn’t linked.
The Link Feature in List Perfectly isn’t just a technical tool. It’s what keeps your business organized, accurate, and under control.
What Does “Linking” Actually Mean?
Linking connects a live marketplace listing — on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Etsy, or Depop — to the same item inside your List Perfectly Catalog.
When you link a listing:
- The marketplace item number is captured
- The platform icon appears in your Catalog
- Status updates (active, sold, ended) stay connected
- Automation tools can take action
Without linking, List Perfectly does not recognize the listing as connected to your Catalog item.
No link = no automation.
What This Actually Does for You
When you link your listings properly, you:
- Stop worrying about duplicates
- Prevent accidental double selling
- Keep automation tools working
- Save time fixing mistakes
- Stay organized across platforms
Linking connects each marketplace listing back to one single item in your LP Catalog.
That connection captures the item number and allows List Perfectly to recognize that listing as part of your inventory system.
And that’s where the system starts working for you.
1. You Prevent Costly Mistakes
Without linking:
- Auto Delist won’t remove a sold item
- Delist / Relist won’t function properly
- Mark as Sold may fail
- Marketplace item numbers may not be recognized
That’s not a feature issue.
That’s a linking issue.
When your listings are properly linked, List Perfectly knows exactly which item is connected to which marketplace. That prevents errors before they happen.
2. You Keep Your Inventory Clean
Messy catalogs create stress.
When listings aren’t linked:
- Duplicates appear
- Statuses don’t match
- It becomes harder to track what’s active
Linking ensures one clean source of truth inside your LP Catalog.
No guessing.
No confusion.
No wondering which listing is the correct one.
3. Your Automation Actually Works
Resellers love automation — but automation only works when listings are properly connected.
Linking powers:
- Auto Delist
- Delist / Relist
- Mark as Sold
- Sales Detection
- Status syncing
If something “didn’t work,” the first thing to check is: was it linked?
When linked correctly, everything flows.
4. You Save Time Every Week
The updated linking experience makes this process even faster.
Now you can:
- Search by title or SKU
- Hide sold listings
- See clearer listing details before linking
- Jump directly to your LP Catalog or live listing
That means:
Less scrolling.
Less second-guessing.
Less time fixing preventable issues.
Time saved compounds.
5. You Stay in Control Across Marketplaces
Multi-platform selling is powerful — but only if your systems are organized.
When your listings are linked:
- Item numbers are captured automatically
- Statuses stay aligned
- Platforms stay connected
- You can act confidently
You’re not reacting to problems.
You’re running a system.
How to Tell If a Listing Is Linked
In your LP Catalog:
- You’ll see the platform icon
- The marketplace item number will appear
- Clicking the ID opens the live listing
If that information is missing, the listing has not been linked yet.
This is the first place to check if something isn’t syncing correctly.
Important: What Can Break a Link?
To keep your listings properly synced, avoid:
- Using “Sell Similar” or duplicate tools outside of List Perfectly
- Using third-party relist tools that generate new item numbers
- Closing tabs too early during crosslisting before confirmation
When a marketplace generates a new item number, List Perfectly cannot recognize it unless you re-link it.
Understanding this protects your workflow.
Why This Matters More as You Grow
The more marketplaces you sell on, the more important linking becomes.
At five listings?
You might not notice.
At fifty listings?
You start seeing issues.
At hundreds or thousands?
Linking becomes the backbone of your operation.
Clean systems scale.
Messy systems create burnout.
The Bottom Line
Linking isn’t just a feature.
It’s what:
- Protects your inventory
- Powers your automation
- Prevents duplicates
- Keeps listings in sync
- Saves you time
If you’re crosslisting across multiple marketplaces, linking is what makes multi-platform selling sustainable.
And now, with improved search and visibility, linking is faster and easier than ever.
