The default is to use the ItemID with a numerical suffix for each photo in that item. The zip tool will open and the transfer report will appear there. A button will appear in the report area to "Send to zip tool." There is an option to send the title along with the other basic data if you want to use titles in the photo names (be sure to update the report when changing options). The "AutoScan" performs a size and hosting test on images and takes a lot longer to complete than "FastScan", which simply collects the eBay URLs without testing the images.Īfter the photos are all retrieved by the scanner, use the report feature (Zip All) to create a transfer file that will be sent to the photo zip tool. Then use either the "AutoScan" or "FastScan" feature after those buttons appear. The photo scanner will pull in all photos in up to 10,000 listings (but won't be able to pull in adult content or items that are hidden because they are out-of-stock.)Įnter Username and country, and click the "Get Items" button on the Bulk Photo Scanner to retrieve a list of all active listings. Photos can be archived from existing "Active" listings using the online Bulk Photo Scanner in conjunction with the Bulk Photo Zip tool. I have only about 50 listings, so they'll load quickly, and they include a few with intentionally bad images for testing.

The instructions may look a bit complex without seeing the actual tools, so if you would like to test before committing to a large run, test on my username "shipscript". If you find yourself in that situation, or, if you find it simpler to retrieve from eBay than to locate and re-assign images from your hard drive, here is a solution. If all of your photos are on eBay and you have no backup, then your photos can be retrieved directly from active eBay listings. If you still have photos on your computer, it is best to find a way to manage those.
