Bulk Listing on Ebay - Advice?

[KC Doughboy]

I hope this is the right spot to post this!

I will soon be listing 30,000-40,000 vintage cards on ebay. I've got them all catalogued and priced on Excel and I've been slowly photographing them.

I will not be consigning the cards. I've tried that in the past with mixed results, at best!

What tools/methods do you use to bulk list?
Any tips or suggestions?
Any services who create Excel sheets for File Exchange, etc?

Thanks,
Eric

There are services such as Invest In Baseball that can efficiently list 30,000 to 40,000 cards in under a day. Maybe you should give them a try.

Are you talking about creating 30,000 individual listings?
Like, --1959 Topps Duke Snider VG+-- $10.00 etc?
I used to sell 5 cards at a time on there and found it to be more trouble than it was worth, and that was 5 cards at a time. It was very time consuming. To me, it's worth every penny to ship it off to an auctioneer and let them do all the work.

COMC is awesome for buying, no idea on selling.

COMC is great for selling, and great for flipping. Mailing 40,000 cards to 15,000 different addresses seems like a drag, personally.

Make sure that the cards you offer are both accurately graded and priced competitive with actual market prices or you will be running a card museum versus shipping cards you sell. Scans of the front/back are now the norm, so ensure both scans are included.
