Bulk convert format (auction or fixed price)

Convert a batch of draft listings between auction and fixed price at once instead of editing each one. Only drafts can be converted.

Drafted a batch of listings in the wrong selling format? Convert them together rather than editing each one. You can switch drafts from Fixed Price to Auction or back.

Converting listing formats in bulk

How does bulk convert work?

  1. Select the draft listings you want to convert.
  2. Choose the convert-format action and pick the new format.
  3. Converting to Auction? Set a starting price, an optional Buy It Now price and a duration (1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days).
  4. Apply. The conversion runs in the background.

Tip. Only draft listings can be converted. eBay won't let you change the format of an item that's already live, so convert before you publish.
