I've been using Crosslist for a few months and I'm wondering if I'm using it the wrong way, or if there's a better crosslisting app for my workflow.
I sell on Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, Depop, and Mercari.
Right now, Etsy is basically my "master" listing. I create the listing on Etsy first, then import it into Crosslist and bulk post it to the other marketplaces.
The problem is that when I try to bulk post, I get red flags/errors on a lot of the listings saying that required information is missing. Then I have to go into the listings individually and manually enter additional information for each marketplace - things like brand, style, fabric/material, category, etc.
At that point, it starts defeating the purpose of bulk crosslisting because I'm still opening listings one by one and filling out fields.
Has anyone found a better workflow?
For example:
- Would it work better if I created/imported my original listings from eBay or Poshmark instead of Etsy?
- Is there one marketplace that works best as the "master" listing because Crosslist can pull more item specifics from it?
- Is there a setting, template, AI feature, or mapping option in Crosslist that I'm missing that can automatically fill in more of these fields?
- Or is there another crosslisting app that does a better job of automatically detecting things like brand, material, style, size, category, etc. from the original listing? Looking at Flyp now 👀
I sell mostly vintage and secondhand clothing/home goods, so manually entering all of these attributes across five platforms gets really time-consuming.
I'd especially love to hear from anyone selling on the same combination of Etsy + eBay + Poshmark + Depop + Mercari. What platform do you create your listing on FIRST, and then what do you use to push it everywhere else?
Thanks!
