I have over 300 items on ebay and would like to export them to a CSV file for editing and then re import.  Is this possible?

That's quite doable and you can also use File Exchange to create listings but (and it's a big BUT), you'll have to host your images off eBay.

Here's the Basic Template Guide from eBay:

File Exchange Guide

Whereas Turbolister accessed the ebay image servers to upload your pics and link them to your listing, file exchange does not.

You are only able to provide URL's for the images in your listing so you will obviously need to know them beforehand.

You cannot upload images directly to the eBay image servers and get back a list of the URL's.

(at least not easily)

You'd have to use a third party image hosting site and carefully line up all the URL's they provide for your images which ebay will then call when your listing is viewed by a buyer.

The only way to do new listings AND host the images on the eBay servers is to make use of the API's and that is a whole other level of technicality.

This is how Auctiva, Inkfrog and other 3rd party listing tools operate but they'll charge you for it.

Here's a YouTube video that gives you an idea of just one API integration using PHP:

Here's the page for dealing with the eBay image servers:

The level of programming required is beyond most ebay users but if you can find a good image host, as I said earlier, File Exchange is sort of workable.
