Scrape eBay products to Shopify in 4 easy steps

In this article, we’ll go through each of these steps and show you how to simplify the process and make it scalable.

In the screenshot below, you can see a product listed on eBay. Suppose, we’d want to extract the following information:

• Title
• Price
• Description
• Vendor
• SKU
• Images

There are several methods to extract this data. Using a script or data extraction software will let you download product details from eBay to an Excel file. But the extracted data will be listed as-is. Before import, it has to be formatted according to the Shopify template.

A problem is that, firstly, it takes time, and secondly, you may find out that eBay product doesn’t have all the required data.

Here the eScraper service comes to help. eScraper combines the features of eBay data extractor and Shopify import addon. It extracts products from eBay to a file structured as required by Shopify.

How to extract eBay products for Shopify:

• Provide a direct link to a category, seller page, or custom search results in the order form.
• Specify Shopify as your target shopping cart.
• Check and approve the sample file prepared for you by eScraper.
• Make a payment and receive the complete file.

Below is an example of the file we’ve prepared for one of our clients. As you can see, the extracted data was inserted into a Shopify import template. Also, we’ve generated the product Handle field, required by Shopify, from the product title.
