How People Use This

I exported my eBay orders report and imported it straight into my inventory system. Didn't notice that 200+ multi-item orders had duplicate rows — one per line item. My totals were inflated by $18,000 and I spent two days reconciling before I realized the file itself was the problem. Now I validate first and the multi-item detection tells me exactly which order numbers have multiple rows so I can account for them properly.

One of my clients had their eBay orders export saved as UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1. Every buyer name with an accent or special character came through garbled — Muller became Müller, and the address fields were even worse. The shipping labels printed with corrupted characters and three packages got returned. The validator catches encoding mismatches before any of that can happen.

We pulled an eBay orders report for Q4 and the Sale date column had mixed formats — some rows were 'Jan-15-2026 14:30:45 GMT' and others were '1/15/2026' because someone had opened it in Excel first. Our accounting software rejected the entire import with a generic date error. Took hours to find the 340 bad rows manually. The validator pinpoints every date format mismatch with the exact row number.

I opened my orders CSV in Excel to 'just take a quick look' and it stripped the leading zeros from all the postal codes. Didn't realize it until a buyer messaged me that their package went to the wrong zip. The validator flags when postal codes have been truncated, so now I always check the file before I touch it.

Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Order Number Column

The 'Order number' column is required but not found

File exported without order number
11-12345-67890

Ensure you export from Seller Hub > Orders with all columns

Go to Seller Hub > Orders > Export and select all available columns

Invalid Sale Date

The 'Sale date' column contains unparseable date values

15-Jan-26 (wrong format)
Jan-15-2026 14:30:45 GMT

eBay exports dates with time and timezone - don't modify in Excel

Re-export from eBay without opening in Excel first

Missing Item Title

Required 'Item title' column has empty values

(blank item title)
Widget Pro - Black

Each order line should have an item title from the listing

Check if this is a data issue or manual deletion

Invalid Quantity Value

The 'Quantity' column contains non-integer or negative values

0 or -1 or 2.5
2

Quantity must be a positive integer

Check for Excel formula errors or manual edits

Missing Sale Price

The 'Sale price' column is required but contains empty values

(blank price)
50.00

Every order line item needs a sale price

Re-export or check for file corruption

Invalid Total Price

The 'Total price' doesn't match expected calculation or is missing

Total missing or doesn't match items + shipping + tax
110.00 (matches sum of components)

Total should equal items + shipping + tax

Use eBay's exported totals - don't calculate manually

Multi-Item Order Format

Same order number appears multiple times (this is normal)

Order 11-12345-67890 appears in 3 rows
Each row = one item in the order

eBay Orders export has one row per line item

This is expected behavior for multi-item orders

If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches.

Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.
