Bulk Upload:
Build Your Entire Catalog in Minutes, Not Hours

Stop entering auction lots one at a time. Import your entire catalog from a CSV or Excel file — hundreds of items, photos, descriptions, and reserves — in a single upload.

Bulk Upload

If you're running auctions with dozens or hundreds of lots, manual entry is a productivity killer. Every minute spent re-typing item descriptions is a minute you're not spending finding consignors, marketing your auction, or talking to buyers. Selling Lane's bulk upload eliminates that friction entirely.

Prepare your catalog in a spreadsheet — the format you already use for your own records — and upload it. Selling Lane maps your columns to the right fields, creates each lot with the correct details, and has your entire catalog ready to review in minutes.

Combined with condition reports and photo uploads, your catalog can go from raw data to a fully presented, buyer-ready auction in a fraction of the time.

"Import hundreds of items at once via CSV/Excel. Save hours of manual data entry every auction — time you can redirect to finding better inventory."

Key Benefits

⏱️

Hours Back Per Auction

A 200-lot catalog that would take 4 hours to enter manually uploads in minutes. Run more auctions without adding staff.

📊

Works With Your Spreadsheet

Use the format you already have. CSV and Excel files from your inventory system, dealer management software, or manual records all work.

🔁

Reuse and Repeat

Save your catalog template. Run a similar auction next month? Update your spreadsheet and re-upload. Setup time approaches zero.

🖼️

Photo Matching

Reference your photo filenames in the spreadsheet and batch-upload images. Selling Lane matches photos to the correct lots automatically.

Review Before Going Live

After upload, review every lot before publishing. Catch errors, add missing details, and confirm everything looks right.

💰

No Extra Cost

Bulk upload is included in every Selling Lane plan — no import fees, no lot-count tiers, no per-item charges.
