Cross list from eBay to Mercari
Import your eBay listings into Reskale and post them to Mercari. This page is what happens to a listing on the way: its condition, its title and description, what you keep from a sale on each, and what Reskale does when it sells.
How to do it
- Connect eBay and Mercari in Reskale.
- Import your eBay listings. Each one becomes an item in your Reskale inventory.
- Pick the items, check the Mercari category and size Reskale suggests (a category is matched, not copied, and an import often has no size), and post them to Mercari: one at a time or in bulk.
What each condition becomes
| On eBay | Posted to Mercari as |
|---|---|
| New with tags | New |
| New without tags | New |
| New with defects | New |
| Pre-owned - Excellent | Like new |
| Pre-owned - Good | Good |
| Pre-owned - Fair | Fair |
| New | New |
| New other | Like new |
| Used | Good |
| For parts or not working | Poor |
eBay names its conditions by category. The first 6 are its clothing conditions; the rest are what most other categories use.
Titles and descriptions
- Title
- eBay titles fit: eBay allows 80 characters and Mercari allows 80.
- Description
- eBay descriptions are often formatted, and Mercari shows plain text, so Reskale takes the formatting out. Mercari descriptions stop at 1,000 characters, so a longer one is shortened to fit, at a word break where there is one, and ends with "…".
What you keep on each
| Sale price | You keep on eBay | You keep on Mercari |
|---|---|---|
| $25 | $21.20 | $22.50 |
| $50 | $42.80 | $45.00 |
| $100 | $86.00 | $90.00 |
Item price only — shipping, sales tax and optional ads aren't included. Fees can vary by category; this uses each marketplace's standard rate.
eBay: 13.6% plus $0.30–$0.40 per order, charged on the total including shipping. Sneakers $150+ and women's bags differ.
How each connects
- eBay
- Reskale connects to eBay through eBay's own sign-in for apps; the browser extension is needed only for the message inbox, Send Offer to Watchers, and return cases.
- Mercari
- Reskale works on Mercari through the browser extension, using the Mercari login already in your browser.
When it sells
Auto-delist is part of the Legendary plan: when the item sells on one, Reskale takes the other listing down by itself if it is sure they are the same single item. Anything it is not sure about, such as an item with more than one in stock, waits on the Auto-Delist page for you to confirm.
- If it sells on Mercari: Reskale ends the eBay listing. You can relist it on eBay later, where it comes back with a new item number.
- If it sells on eBay: Reskale deactivates the Mercari listing rather than deleting it, so you can reactivate it on Mercari later.
Reskale notices a Mercari sale only while Chrome is open with the extension installed; the extension checks every 15 minutes.
