Top 18 Best eBay Selling Tools [Free + Paid] in 2025

eBay started out as the first truly democratic online marketplace, one that allowed practically anyone to list and sell anything and everything. And while eBay remains one of the more accessible ecommerce platforms today with no shortage of hobbyist sellers, more advanced sellers require the right eBay selling tools to help them grow and succeed. The category of eBay selling tools is expansive, encompassing everything from listing optimization tools to all-in-one eBay Store management software, so there's no shortage of solutions – both free and paid – for virtually every eBay selling need. But with so many eBay selling tools available to sellers today, how can you be sure you're choosing not only the best tool for the job, but the safest one for your eBay business? In this guide, we've done the legwork for you, and put together a selection of eBay tools, both free and paid, to help you sell better and grow your eBay business. We'll cover a variety of tools, go over the problems they solve, and help you create the perfect toolkit for all your eBay selling needs.

Free eBay Selling Tools

Everyone likes a free tool, but many free tools available online today come at a cost, albeit not a monetary one. When you think about it, your eBay business is actually incredibly sensitive – it contains a wealth of personal customer information, your personal and business information, and details you'd rather keep private, such as your stock levels, who your suppliers are, where your warehouses are located, and more. In our experience, free tools need to be approached with caution, and only used once you've done your due diligence to ensure that the company offering the tool is legitimate and keeps your data safe. All the free tools listed below are by 3Dsellers, an eBay Silver Solution Provider authorized by eBay itself, and are guaranteed safe and free for all eBay sellers. Check out these handy tools that do everything from calculate fees to optimize product listing titles, all for free!

1. eBay Title Builder

Listing titles on eBay are make or break, both for the visibility and click through rates of a listing. There's a lot that goes into creating an eBay listing title that's optimized for both SEO and for buyer engagement; a well-crafted eBay title will have not only the right keywords, but also place them in the most optimal way in order to get the best ranking in searches and the highest number of clicks from buyers.

To help you create well-structured, keyword-optimized title, 3Dsellers has a free eBay Title Builder tool that scrapes the eBay site of your choice (eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.fr, etc.) to find the top ten listings using the keywords you choose. The generator then uses these listings and keywords to create a unique suggested title for your listing, helping you optimize arguably one of the most important parts of your listings in seconds.

2. eBay Fee Calculators

While eBay offers relatively attractive seller fees in comparison with other marketplaces, making sense of them can sometimes be challenging. eBay fees change based on a variety of factors, ranging from whether or not you have an eBay Store Subscription to what item category you've listed the item in, making them extremely tricky to calculate in advance.

To help eBay sellers get an accurate estimate of their projected eBay selling fees, 3Dsellers has two eBay fee calculators available for sellers to use – one to calculate selling eBay fees on eBay.com and one to calculate selling fees on eBay.co.uk – completely free of charge. Plus, there's even a handy Chrome extension for eBay fee calculation on the go!

‍

3. PayPal Fee Calculator

eBay fees are just one part of your selling costs – you'll also need to pay a payment processing fee to your payment processing service of choice. For many international eBay sellers who don't use eBay Managed Payments, this service is PayPal. To help these sellers calculate their transaction fees (or any other possible PayPal fees), 3Dsellers has a free PayPal fee calculator.

Pro Tip: This calculator is also handy for sellers on other platforms who use PayPal for payment processing, including BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Shopify!

‍

4. Free Email Templates

Whether you want to get the word out about a huge sale or need to send a professional response to a return request, email templates can save you time and improve the quality of your customer service. 3Dsellers' message templates allow you to generate custom messages for a variety of situations and uses, and include support for variables such as customer name, discount code, and even embedded links. Plus, every template has multiple variations, too, so you can nail down the perfect tone in your message without having to go back and edit it sentence-by-sentence.  

‍

5. eBay-Compliant SKU Generator

SKUs are a handy stock management feature for ecommerce sellers, but oftentimes, eBay sellers don't use them, especially when they're just starting out. Since eBay doesn't require SKUs, sellers often find themselves with a growing eBay business and no real way to keep track of their stock aside from external product identifiers like MPNs, which, while useful in their own right, may not be the best choice for internal stock management.

To help you better manage your inventory, 3Dsellers has a free SKU generator tool. This tool enables you to create fully customized SKUs for your products based on the attributes you need, and export them all in bulk to CSV. The SKU generator has full product variation support, as well as automatic vowel removal and case control, so you can create SKUs that work best for your selling needs and workflows.

6. eBay Listing Error Codes & Solutions Index

Listing errors happen, and it's not always easy to get an accurate answer from Google or ChatGPT when trying to figure out what to do when you get a numerical error code when uploading your products to eBay. To help you resolve listing errors faster, 3Dsellers has a comprehensive index of common eBay listing error codes and their solutions, so you don't have to search for reliable information on every error code any time a problem arises.

3Dsellers' Premium eBay Selling Tools

Now that we've covered some super useful and free eBay selling tools, we'll take a look at some premium eBay selling tools aimed at sellers who want to grow their eBay business beyond a side gig. These tools are must-haves for sellers who want to run their eBay Store as a true business, with optimized workflows and maximum profits. We'll explore time-saving automation tools, smart AI tools for increasing visibility and conversion, customer service tools, and more, to learn how the right eBay selling tools can help your eBay business grow.

1. eBay Listing and Order Automations

When running any online business, optimizing by automating repetitive tasks is an essential part of growth. Daily or weekly tasks like updating inventory, sending out email notifications, and importing new products to your catalog can take a long time when done by hand, but can be easily automated with 3Dsellers to save you not only precious time, but minimize the risk of mistakes.

3Dsellers' eBay listing automations can automatically import products from listings you create on eBay into the 3Dsellers catalog for easier monitoring and management, and even apply new listing design templates created with the eBay listing designer to live and scheduled listings. Furthermore, 3Dsellers can help you stay on top of your stock by automatically updating inventory and stock levels directly from supplier feeds, and even notifying you when an item is low in stock or out of stock.

In addition to inventory, listing, and product automations, 3Dsellers also has a built-in order management platform that helps eBay sellers manage their orders in one place, and can even bring together orders from multiple eBay Stores. Aside from enabling sellers to see and manage all their orders from one place, 3Dsellers' order management system can automatically send order notifications to customers, generate invoices, and even supports internal order notes, helping sellers provide a better experience to their customers while saving valuable time.

2. AI Actions (SEO, Title, Description)

AI has revolutionized ecommerce, and one of the most exciting applications for sellers is its ability to optimize listings for better search ranking and performance, and to do it faster and more efficiently than ever before. 3Dsellers has harnessed AI's data aggregation and processing abilities to create a selection eBay listing optimization tools that help sellers create better listings that give their products the best possible chance of getting seen by buyers and bringing in sales.

3Dsellers integrates AI-powered listing optimizations into its already optimized eBay listing templates, enabling sellers to use AI to find and implement SEO-boosting keywords into their eBay listings' meta descriptions. This not only helps listings rank better on eBay, but also gives them a better chance of being selected for off-platform advertisement on eBay's Ad Network, and helps them get better results when promoted via paid eBay Ads.

3. Bulk Import and Update Listings with CSV

As eBay businesses grow, they inevitably need to manage larger listing volumes and sooner or later, this becomes one of the first things that sellers find themselves struggling to do without the help of a third-party tool. The solution to these growing pains is usually bulk listing import and update, typically with CSV file uploads.

But CSV uploads are not always a good fit for every eBay seller, and for sellers who want to manage their inventory in an easier, more intuitive way, 3Dsellers offers the flexibility of bulk listing management in multiple ways, including CSV uploads. 3Dsellers has powerful bulk listing management tools such as automatic CSV creation from supplier feeds and flexible ways to upload CSV files to eBay, allowing sellers to create and update a large volume of listings in a way that works for their workflows.

4. “Up to” Quantity Automation

One of the biggest challenges sellers often face when selling on eBay is the marketplace's selling limits, which set limitations on the quantity and total merchandise value of a seller's listed items. Sellers need to apply to increase their selling limits, but eBay does not give sellers permission to dramatically increase their product offerings easily, which can put a cap on your ability to grow. One way to manage selling limits is by limiting on the number of units available on your eBay listings. By setting quantity limits on the number of units made available for purchase on multi-quantity listings, sellers can prevent them from taking up valuable product slots that cause eBay Stores to reach their selling limits too quickly, with the bonus benefit of adding urgency to buyers' purchase decisions.

With 3Dsellers "Up-To Quantity" automation, a key feature in 3Dsellers' toolbox of eBay selling tools, sellers can set quantity limits that keep their real inventory private from eBay, enabling them to avoid using up their selling limits on multi-quantity item listings. Whenever an item sells, 3Dsellers replenishes the listing's quantity automatically to the preset quantity limit determined by the seller.

5. Listing Templates and Designer

When shopping online, buyers need to know that they can buy with confidence, especially on a marketplace like eBay. As a highly accessible marketplace that hosts all kinds of sellers from all over the world, buyers on eBay often feel like they need to do their due diligence before making a purchase. Buyers can and often do make purchase decisions based on their initial impression of a seller, and that initial impression is overwhelmingly determined by the quality of the listings that a buyer sees. In other words, the more professional your listing looks, the more confident a buyer will feel to make a purchase, and the more likely it is that you'll make a sale.

But not all eBay sellers can be professional listing designers, which is why some of 3Dsellers' most sought-after eBay selling tools is its ever-growing selection of professional listing templates that can be easily customized with user-friendly, drag-and-drop functionality. This tool empowers eBay sellers to create unique, professional-quality listings for every item instantly regardless of their level of tech know-how, and increase their sales potential across all their product listings.

6. eBay Motors Compatibility List Manager

Many eBay sellers choose to focus their business on eBay Motors, a major product category/platform within eBay that's dedicated to selling automotive parts and accessories. Listings on eBay Motors are different than those on the wider eBay platform in several ways, but the most important one is the requirement of a compatibility list that allows buyers to look up which vehicles the listed accessory or part is compatible with.

Ensuring that the information on these compatibility lists is essential, as it can very well be the difference between a customer installing the correct, safe car part or an incorrect and unsafe one. To help eBay Motors Sellers better manage their part compatibility lists, 3Dsellers eBay listing tool has a built-in eBay Motors compatibility list management interface that helps sellers create complete and accurate part compatibility lists for their product listings. It not only helps sellers manage their listings' compatibility lists, but also makes it easy to get accurate data by importing compatibility information from other listings on eBay.

7. Auto Messages and Feedback Reminder

A good customer experience is an integral part of any business, whether it's an eBay Store or a brick-and-mortar shop, and providing a good customer experience means actively working towards creating a buying experience that puts the buyer first. This is especially important in ecommerce, where buyers pay for an item before they've ever seen it in person, and buy from a seller they'll never interact with face-to-face.

The best way to address this fundamental challenge that arises from the reality of selling online is to keep your customers updated on the progress of their order with order update messages. 3Dsellers helps sellers do this automatically with customizable automatic messages to buyers, so they can feel confident knowing that their order is being handled in a timely manner. To help sellers leverage this positive buying experience and turn it into a positive reputation on eBay, 3Dsellers can also send out automatic feedback reminders to satisfied customers, so sellers can get a higher rate of positive feedback from successful sales.

8. Digital Goods Automation

Many eBay sellers choose to forgo physical goods altogether and focus their business solely on digital products. While digital products don't need physical storage or logistics solutions, there are unique challenges when it comes to selling digital goods on eBay. Since fulfilling digital orders doesn't require packaging and shipping, buyers expect their orders delivered in an instant, which is impractical to do manually.

To help digital goods sellers provide the best possible service to their customers, 3Dsellers offers digital goods solutions and automations in three tailored digital product packages that start at just $5 a month. With 3Dsellers' digital product automations, sellers can instantly and automatically fulfill digital orders, manage their digital product catalog, and even sell their digital goods on additional sales channels like Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, and more.

9. eBay Promotion Manager

Running ad campaigns via eBay Ads is a great way to promote eBay listings, increase their visibility and conversion. When done correctly, eBay Ads have the potential to boost sales dramatically, but incorrectly managed advertising campaigns can lead to wasted advertising dollars and leave you with listings that fail to result in sales even when promoted.

3Dsellers has a built-in eBay Ads manager to help sellers better manage, monitor, and optimize their eBay Ads campaigns – and ultimately get more out of their ad spend. 3Dsellers' eBay Ads manager gives sellers the ability to monitor ad campaigns to analyze their performance over time, launch and run multiple campaigns simultaneously and directly through the dashboard, use CSV uploads for bulk ad campaign actions, and even fully automate listing promotions based on custom rules.

10. Feedback Reminder

As an online seller, your reputation is your biggest asset. It can make or break a sale, impact your visibility, and even affect how buyers react to inevitable order issues like picking errors or shipping delays. Unfortunately, most happy customers will often forget to leave positive feedback, leaving many sellers with an overrepresentation of negative feedback in relation to the overall positive buyer experiences they provide. The best way to counteract this, aside from removing negative feedback, is by ensuring that buyers with positive experience take the time to leave positive feedback.

Following up with each customer personally is impossible, however, especially if you're a seller with a large volume of orders. To give sellers a more practical and realistic way to manage order follow-ups, 3Dsellers has a customizable and automatic feedback reminder, which sends out reminders to happy customers asking them to leave feedback for their transaction. Simply reminding buyers to leave feedback can increase the number of positive reviews you receive, helping you increase your feedback score without resorting to any methods that violate eBay's feedback policy.

 

11. Scheduled Listings

No matter what you sell on eBay, knowing when to publish listings – especially auction listings – has a direct impact on a listing's chances of success. The perfect timing for publishing a listing requires knowing when the best time to end an auction or fixed-price listing is, and timing the listing's publishing time accordingly.

Not even the most dedicated eBay seller has the time to publish listings at strategic times around the clock seven days a week, however – it's not only impossible to list and delist at all hours of day, every day of the year, it also makes it far more likely that you'll inevitably make a costly mistake, whether it be a duplicate listing or a pricing error. To help sellers save time and avoid costly mistakes, 3Dsellers' eBay listing tool has a powerful built-in listing scheduler, which enables sellers to create listings ahead of time, then schedule and queue them for publishing at a predetermined time.

12. Built‑In Helpdesk for eBay Sellers

Last but certainly not least, the quality of buying experience your offer shoppers is a key factor in successful online selling, whether it be on eBay or on any other online sales platform. An integral part of a positive buying experience is the pre- and post-sale service you offer shoppers, especially shoppers on a platform like eBay, which has become inundated in recent years with sellers from all over the world who have less-than-optimal standards for customer support.

To help sellers offer top-notch support to their customers and increase their seller rating, 3Dsellers offers a feature-packed eBay helpdesk suite, designed specifically to help eBay sellers provide better quality service more efficiently. 3Dsellers' eBay helpdesk fully integrates with the built-in order manager, and allows sellers to respond to everything from customer queries to resolution cases, making it an all-in-on solution for providing five-star service to your eBay buyers.
