Bulk uploads

To upload bulk listings you must first create a xml file following the model below. Add multiple listings by repeating <listing></listing> sequence:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<listings>
  <listing>
	...
  </listing>
  <listing>
	...
  </listing>
  <listing>
	...
  </listing>
</listings>

For each field you will find below a description as well as possible values the field can take.

The tags that you can use can be of 2 types: mandatory and optional. Mandatory tags must be included, but you can skip optional tags.

Note that:

• For tags with values to choose from, you will notice a different set of values for each language. Use the language that you will use to upload your listings and be consistent about this, use the same language for all tags.
• If you will use html characters within a tag, then you should enclose the content of your tag with <![CDATA[ ]]> tags, as in the following example:
  <description><![CDATA[ Description that contains <b>HTML characters</b>. ]]></description>

You can see a sample for a bulk upload xml file here. To save it on your computer use File / Save Page As or similar from your browser.
