Transfer eBay listings to Amazon in 5 simple steps

by | Channel insights

Last update Sep 16, 2026

Overview

You can transfer eBay listings to Amazon in bulk, whether or not the product already exists in Amazon’s catalog. Connect both channels, import your eBay products, then select and publish up to 500 at a time. If a product already has an ASIN, Nembol attaches your offer to that detail page. If it does not, Nembol creates the detail page for you — Amazon asks for a few category-specific details first, which you fill in once in Nembol before publishing again.

You will also need an Amazon Professional seller account and a genuinely sourced GS1, UPC or EAN barcode (or an ISBN). Amazon requires a valid barcode whether the product is new to its catalog or not, and Nembol does not support Amazon’s barcode exemptions — exempted products still have to be created in Seller Central.

Transferring eBay listings to Amazon with Nembol means you:

  • Avoid manually relisting every single product on both marketplaces
  • Keep inventory aligned across channels.
  • Keep the listing content identical, or differentiate it according to your needs.

Don’t miss the chance to boost your sales and profits saving time and effort. Use Nembol to grow your business!

Can I transfer my eBay listings to Amazon?

Export eBay listings to Amazon (step-by-step)

With Nembol, you can fastly transfer your eBay listings to Amazon and vice-versa. But how does it work?

Let’s start from the beginning:

  1. The first step is opening the Channels Tab to connect your channels. In this article, we will focus on eBay and Amazon, but you can find instructions for each channel in our dedicated guide: first steps for new users.
  2. Start by connecting eBay to Nembol. Read the settings carefully, choose the functions to use, and import your products by clicking on “Import from channels”.
  3. While Nembol is importing (this may take a while), connect Amazon, and check its settings as well.
  4. Once the import is finished, open the Products Tab and bulk select your products (up to 500 at a time).
  5. Click on the “Publish” button in the top right corner.
  6. And that’s it!

What an ASIN is, and why it decides how you publish

Amazon works differently from eBay. On eBay, every seller writes their own listing, so ten sellers of the same kettle create ten listings. On Amazon there is one page per product, shared by everyone who sells it, and ten sellers of that kettle are ten offers on a single page. That shared page has an ID, and the ID is called the ASIN — Amazon Standard Identification Number.

So publishing to Amazon is really one of two jobs, and Nembol works out which one applies to each product.

1. The product is already on Amazon. Someone has sold it before, so the page exists and it has an ASIN. Nembol adds your offer — your price, your stock, your shipping — to that page. The title, description and images stay as Amazon holds them, because they belong to the shared page rather than to you. Nothing extra is asked of you.

2. The product is new to Amazon. No page exists yet, so one has to be created, and Nembol creates it. The first publish attempt pauses and asks you for a few more details — what type of product it is, and whatever else its category requires, so Amazon understands what it is and who it is for. Fill those in on the product in Nembol, publish again, and the page is created with your content on it.

You do not have to work out which case you are in beforehand. Publish, and Nembol tells you.

Amazon barcode requirements

Due to many mandatory requirements, Amazon is one of the more complex channels to list your products on. If your eBay listings have a barcode (already existing on Amazon) already associated with an ASIN (meaning that someone else has already published this product on Amazon before you), Nembol will automatically recall the listing from Amazon and replicate it on your account. This means that content is centralized on Amazon. Amazon will not accept new or redundant product information. You know well that, if you try editing some information, it will take some time to evaluate the effectiveness of your content before eventually deciding whether integrate it into the existing product info.

Import eBay to Amazon: checklist

  1. The barcode must be a GS1, UPC, or EAN barcode, or an ISBN from ISBN.org, genuinely sourced. Otherwise, Amazon may reject your listing.
  2. If you have a barcode exemption from Amazon, you can still list using Nembol.
  3. If your product already has an ASIN, enter it on the product so Nembol attaches your offer to the right Amazon page. If it does not have one, leave it empty: Nembol will create the page, and will ask you for the extra category details Amazon needs on the first publish attempt.
  4. Make sure to have an Amazon Pro seller Account before subscribing. Read more about the differences between Amazon Sellers and Vendor.
  5. Your pictures on eBay will typically be disregarded by Amazon if the product you are publishing is already in Amazon’s catalog. This is because Amazon has centralized content and might already have pictures for it.
  6. eBay may reduce your picture quality when storing them. eBay will return pictures at up to 1,600 pixels in width and 72 dpi resolution. All larger pictures you may have uploaded on eBay will be reduced in size. Moreover, pictures at 1,600 pixels or smaller will be compressed by eBay. Therefore eBay is NOT an ideal place to store images.

If the publication of some of your listings fails because some values are missed or because some error occurs, Nembol will notify you and will display the error text in each product line (click on the yellow triangle in Nembol to read it).

If you can’t figure it out, write us in the built-in chat and ask for support. Amazon is complicated, especially at the beginning and may require a little bit of warm-up by new sellers. Nembol support team is here to help.

Can I sell the same item on eBay and Amazon?

Today a seller should really publish the same product contemporarily on both eBay and Amazon, and possibly a few more channels. Here are some of the reasons why:

  1. Publishing a product on both eBay and Amazon multiplies the chances of selling it.
  2. Selling multichannel helps to boost your store exposure and visibility.
  3. Amazon is more expensive than eBay (Amazon charges 15% on most categories, eBay 9% + PayPal fees) but has no listing fees.
  4. eBay listings expire unless you have the “GTC – Good Till Cancelled” duration, while listings on Amazon are there for the long term.
  5. eBay is a more open community, while Amazon makes it more difficult for retailers to be allowed to sell. This positions Amazon higher up from the buyers’ perception, which means that selling on Amazon is considered more prestigious.
  6. Selling on eBay and Amazon would help you reach different niches of customers.
  7. eBay and Amazon punish out-of-stock sales. Meaning that you have to avoid stockouts to be a proficient seller on both platforms.  Fortunately, if a product gets sold on one of the channels, Nembol delists it from the other. Thus, publishing via Nembol protects the seller from incurring sanctions for double sales in Amazon or eBay.

Many sellers don’t start selling on multichannel because are concerned it would imply more complexity and effort to run the business. We calculated that, without Nembol, publishing one item both on eBay and Amazon takes a skilled user around 15 minutes, while using Nembol, it is possible to professionally publish a product on 10 social networks and e-commerce websites in as little as 90 seconds.

Moreover, Nembol doesn’t require any additional cost for publishing an item on multiple channels. This is because products are shared on both eBay and Amazon instantly, with a single tap, and Nembol tracks inventory to avoid double sales. That’s why we recommend using Nembol and publishing your products in as many channels as possible, especially on both Amazon and eBay.

Can I sell eBay products on Amazon?

Let’s make clear that listing eBay products on Amazon (and vice-versa) is allowed. You are not breaking any rule, nor you will be penalized.

As mentioned above, Amazon has more strict requirements on content compared to eBay. It follows its guideline to let customers have the best detailed and accurate descriptions. But remember that every channel has its own rules and policies, and the algorithms reward listings that best suit those requirements.

For example, rather than copying your own titles and descriptions from Amazon to eBay, try to keep your content differentiated and optimized according to the eBay SEO.

With Nembol, you can push listing on multiple channels with identical or differentiated content. Regardless of your choice, you will still be able to maintain the stock aligned and synchronized if you want to.

That’s because Nembol keeps the two different functions separated:

  • “Quantity sync towards Nembol” keeps quantities aligned across channels (read the next paragraph to know more).
  • And the Content update function (from Nembol or Shopify) updates connected listings’ content across channels every time you modify them.

Both these functions are independent and users can decide to use one or both of them.

Sync eBay and Amazon inventory

As mentioned above, Nembol is equipped with automation that allows users to sync matching products quantities across channels. Indeed, Nembol doesn’t pair products by titles, descriptions, or any content details, but by product IDs.

Through Product ID as the unique product identifier, Nembol recognizes when a product gets an order or you manually change the available stock and align quantities according to these actions.

Thanks to the sync function, you’ll be able to have your inventory synced in real-time across multiple channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import items from eBay to Amazon?

Yes. With a third-party app like Nembol, you can transfer eBay products to Amazon quickly, whether or not they already exist in Amazon’s catalog. Nembol handles import, bulk publishing, and real-time stock sync across channels.

Can I export my eBay listings?

Yes! With Nembol, you can export your eBay products to other channels like Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce or TikTok Shop. You can also export them from Nembol via CSV to edit in bulk, keeping inventory synced and content consistent across all platforms.

Where can I share my eBay listings?

Using an external tool like Nembol, you can share eBay listings across multiple platforms, including Amazon and other marketplaces. You can choose identical or tailored content for each channel while keeping inventory synchronized and avoiding double sales automatically.

Do I need an ASIN to list my eBay products on Amazon?

No. An ASIN is the ID of the shared Amazon page for a product. If your product already has one, Nembol attaches your offer to that existing page, which is the quickest route. If it does not, Nembol creates the page for you: the first publish pauses so you can add the category details Amazon needs, then the listing goes live. A valid barcode is still required either way.

What barcode does Amazon require for listings transferred from eBay?

A genuinely sourced GS1, UPC or EAN barcode, or an ISBN from ISBN.org. Amazon may reject the listing if the barcode does not meet this.

Can I transfer eBay listings to Amazon if I have a barcode exemption?

Yes. If Amazon has granted you a barcode exemption, those products can be published through Nembol.

Will my eBay listing content carry over to Amazon?

It depends on whether Amazon already knows the product. If your barcode matches an existing ASIN, Amazon uses the content already attached to that shared page — Nembol recalls the listing and replicates it on your account, and because Amazon centralizes shared content, edits are assessed before they are adopted. If the product is new to Amazon, there is no existing page to defer to, so your own content is used to create it.

What do I need before transferring eBay listings to Amazon?

An Amazon Professional seller account and a valid barcode. An ASIN too, if the product already has one — that lets Nembol attach your offer to the existing Amazon page. If it does not have one, Nembol creates the page and asks for a few category details on the first publish. You can bulk-select and publish up to 500 products at a time.
