The process of adding the products to your store starts with finding what to sell on eBay and of course setting up your account correctly, as explained above in this article.

The best way to add products to your store is by installing the DSM Auto Paste Chrome extension. Once you install the DSM Tool cart icon will appear at the top right part of your Chrome browser.

You can click on the icon and the Chrome Extension will expand and offer you its features

Did you know? You don't actually have to use the chrome extension to import products to DSM Tool, but it is highly recommended because statistics show that the import process is faster and more reliable when using the Chrome extension!

Now that you have it installed, locate the product you wish to add to your store on the website you are sourcing it from. In this example, I am going to import a product from Etsy.com to my eBay.com store (but you can choose any of the 50+ websites we support importing products from).

Once you locate the product on the source website, click on the "List in DSM" button and the Chrome extension will start the import process.

Your product is almost imported, all that is left is to make sure the import settings are correct and then click Import

In the next screen, you can edit and optimize the details of the product: title, images, product specs, product description, and its price!

Make sure to optimize your listing for eBay SEO.
