Today, at eBay’s ninth annual seller conference “eBay Open,” eBay announced a series of innovative tools and the launch of a new AI-powered tool named “Magical Bulk Listing” to further evolve the platform and enhance experiences for sellers.
The new AI-powered “Magical Bulk Listing Tool” helps sellers save time and effort as they create listings for their products. Using the new magical bulk listing tool, sellers can simply upload batches of product images, and eBay will generate draft listings with suggested categories, titles, and item specifics in a matter of seconds.
After reviewing the details for accuracy, sellers can publish their listings to the marketplace. Currently, U.S. Seller Hub users can use the tool to list in the Sports Trading Card category and early data shows this tool significantly reduced the time it took to list items. eBay plans to expand this tool to more categories and countries in the coming months.
