32shops, and any other you paste

32 shops read by name. Thousands more read on sight.

Every built-in shop has a reader tuned on its real pages. Any shop built on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or Squarespace answers directly, and nearly every other shop publishes its price, stock and photographs in a form Sellhelm already understands.

Beyond the list

Built-in readers for 32 shops. A reader for almost any other.

Most of the web is not on anyone's list, and Sellhelm does not need it to be. A shop built on a platform answers the same way as every other shop on that platform, and the rest publish what Sellhelm needs in a form it already understands. The 32 below are the shops somebody has sat with; they are the floor, not the ceiling.

Platform shops answer directly

Shopify answers a product address with the whole product as JSON. WooCommerce, Magento and Squarespace each do their own version. None of it needs a key, and it works the same on every shop built with that platform — which is why a shop nobody has tested usually reads first time.

ShopifyWooCommerceMagentoSquarespaceBigCommerce+ any ordinary shop

Everything else is read from the page itself

Sellhelm tries several ways to read a page and uses whichever agree with each other:

  • The page's own structured data, microdata and meta tags — what Google uses to show a price under a search result.
  • Data the page already loaded for itself, on shops built with Next.js, Nuxt and the like.
  • Another copy of the same page, such as a mobile version, if nothing else found a price.
  • Your own Chrome, through the extension, for a shop that refuses a server.

Two readings that agree on a price is real confidence. Where they disagree, Sellhelm says so rather than quietly choosing.

Paste any shop and watch it readFree, no sign-up. It is the program's own reader, running on this site.

The built-in shops

Every shop with a reader of its own for eBay US, and what is different about it.

The catches, the quirks and the good news for each, taken from Sellhelm's own notes on each shop. Shops are added one at a time, each only once it has been proven on real pages, so what is said here is true today, not promised - and any other shop with an ordinary product page can still be pasted in. Open "Good to know" on any shop for the detail.

  • AliExpress

    Through Chrome

    aliexpress.comAlmost everything, mostly shipped from China

    Price
    The price your own Chrome is shown, in dollars, before sales tax. A new-shopper "Welcome deal" page (a limit of one per shopper) gives no price, because that is not what you pay for further orders
    Stock
    The page's own in-stock or out-of-stock for the option the address opens on; the page shows no count of pieces left
    Photos
    The seller's original files, 800 to 1100px on the pages checked
    Good to know 5
    • A plain request gets an empty shell with no title, price or stock, and repeated requests from a program meet AliExpress's "drag the slider" check, so every page is read in your own Chrome after it has filled in. If the slider appears the read stops and says so; Sellhelm never tries to get past it.
    • Checked from outside the United States only: a page shown in dollars was read correctly, but a page shipped to a US address could not be viewed, so check the first few products you add. Import duties and taxes on parcels from China may apply and are not in the price.
    • Clicking another option changes the price on screen but not the address, so a page showing a different option, a price range or an unchosen option reads as "no price".
    • The description is not read (the page loads it only when scrolled to), so write your own. The store name, shipping and AliExpress wording never reach a listing.
    • Check eBay's own policy on drop-shipping and delivery times before you rely on it, and trademark (VeRO) rules: a lot of listings copy other brands' designs or names.
  • Amazon

    Read gently

    amazon.comAlmost everything

  1. You ask for a shopTell us the shop you buy from, and a product link if you have one.
  2. We test it on real pagesPrice, stock and photographs are read from real product pages, not guessed from a design.
  3. It is added only when it reads rightA shop that does not read cleanly is not listed, so the list is never longer than the truth.
  4. It appears on this pageWith its own notes on what is different about it.

Shop names and logos are shown only to say what Sellhelm can read. They belong to their owners, and Sellhelm is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any of them. The descriptions of what a shop sells are general pointers, not limits on what you may list.

Reaching the page

How a page gets read, and what happens when a shop pushes back.

Read directly

The shop answers, so Sellhelm asks

Sellhelm reads the product page itself, on your schedule, while Sellhelm is running on your PC. Up to two pages at once with a short pause, so it never looks like an attack.

Read gently

The shop limits bursts, so Sellhelm slows down

The same direct read, but one page at a time with a gap of over a second between them. A long list never gets you blocked.

Through Chrome

The shop refuses programs, so your browser does it

The Chrome extension opens the page the way you would, in a background tab, reads it and closes it. It opens public shop pages only, never eBay accounts or anything on your own network.

  1. A shop refuses Sellhelma "forbidden" answer, a limit, or a robot check
  2. It is left alone for 15 minutesand the products are queued for your browser
  3. Your browser reads themup to four pages a cycle, one tab at a time
  4. A page that keeps failing waitsafter five tries it is set aside for a day, or press Retry

Sellhelm never solves a captcha.

If a shop shows one, the tab is brought forward for you to answer, or the product simply waits.

What you get

What comes out of a page.

The same clean result whichever shop it came from, so your drafts, prices and listings all look alike.

Title

The product's name, with the shop's own name cut out of it.

Price

The price a buyer pays now, in dollars. Crossed-out, list and MSRP prices are ignored. Sales tax added at the till is not included.

Stock

In stock, low stock or out of stock, from the shop's own words or counts. Unclear means unknown, and unknown is never acted on.

Photographs

Up to 24 per product. Each is fetched and measured, so you know which are big enough before you list.

Specification

Up to 40 neat key-and-value rows, with units converted, from tables, lists and the shop's data.

Selling points and features

Up to 6 selling points and 8 feature cards, taken from the shop's own copy.

In the box and warnings

Up to 12 "in the box" items and 4 safety notes, where the page has them. A block with nothing to say is dropped.

Category and identifiers

The category path (without the product's own name), color, brand, and the barcode and product code where the shop publishes them.

Stock

How it decides a product is in stock.

The words that mean "you cannot ship this" are checked first: out of stock, sold out, discontinued, back order, coming soon. Then low stock. Then in stock. Anything else is unknown, and unknown is never acted on.

3In stockthe quantity sent to eBay by default
1Low stock"only a few left", "last one"
0Out of stockheld if it would end the listing

The three quantities are your settings. Where a shop shows a real count (eBay does), that count decides between the three.

Safety

What Sellhelm refuses to guess.

A wrong price on a live listing costs more than a product that waits for a human. So on anything doubtful, Sellhelm stops.

A price in another currency

It is not used.

A page with several options

If it cannot tell which option you mean, it refuses the page rather than pricing the first one.

Crossed-out and club prices

"Was $100, now $80" reads as $80. Membership and club prices are ignored.

The wrong page

A redirect to another website, a maintenance page or an error page is refused and retried later.

Promotional lines

Shop banners such as "price match", "sign up" and newsletter prompts, in-store offers and Klarna or PayPal Credit promotions are dropped from your listing.

A reading it does not understand

Your listing is left exactly as it was, and the product is flagged so you can look.

A captcha or robot check

It never tries to get past one. The shop is left alone and the product waits for your browser.

Per shop

Set what is different about each shop, once.

Shops charge differently for shipping. Tell Sellhelm once and it is in every price from that shop.

What it costs, and what your listings say

  • What shipping costs you. Per shop, or per product, so a shop that charges $7.95 is in every price.
  • The shipping, returns and payment policies its listings use. Changing them asks first, and skips any product with its own.

How its listings look

  • A listing template for each shop, seeded with your default design, which you can edit.

Not on the list?

Paste it anyway. Here is what to expect.

A shop with a reader of its own is the surest thing on this page. A shop without one usually reads too, and the free link checker shows you how well before you add a single product.

What you get

Price, stock, photos and details for any public shop that publishes them, read more than one way where possible. If two ways disagree, Sellhelm says so rather than picking one quietly. A probe in the program, and the link checker on this site, show you how a link reads before you add it.

What you do not

No shop-specific fixes and no ready-made template, and a shop with no standard data may read poorly. Check the first few products you add from a new shop before you rely on it. If it refuses Sellhelm, the extension asks you once for permission to read it in your browser. To have a shop added properly, ask below.

Not on the list?

Ask us to add your shop.

You can paste a link from any shop into Sellhelm and it will do its best, but a shop with its own reader is much more reliable. Tell us the shop you buy from and we will look at the ones people ask for most. A shop is added to the list only after it has been tested on real product pages.

  • It takes a minute. Only the shop's address is needed.
  • Leave an email if you want to hear when it is added. We use it for that and nothing else.

Worth saying plainly

Your responsibility, said plainly.

Read the shop's terms

Some shops' terms restrict automated reading, and Sellhelm cannot make that decision for you. Read a shop's terms before you rely on it.

Photographs and words have owners

Photographs and words belong to whoever wrote them. Check you may use what you list, and that a shop can supply what you sell.

Brands and eBay have rules of their own

Some brands carry trademark rules, and eBay has its own rules on where stock may come from. You are responsible for following them.

Your buyers never see the shop

Your buyers never see where the stock comes from. Sellhelm strips a shop's name from your titles and refuses to send a listing that names one, however it is spelled.

Take the helm of your eBay business.
