Inventory, import and matching

Link existing listings across marketplaces with Matching

Already listed on several marketplaces? Import everything, then use Inventory → Matching to link the same item so a sale on one delists the others.

You do not have to relist anything. Treecat imports the listings already on your marketplaces, and Inventory → Matching suggests which listings are the same item. Accept a suggestion to link them, and from then on a sale on one marketplace delists the others. Fix Duplicates cleans up repeats, and Confirm Quantity pushes the right quantity to every live listing.

Start from what you already have

When you connect a marketplace, Treecat imports your active listings and sales history, then keeps checking for new listings you create directly on the marketplace. Importing is free and there is no item limit. See Import your listings and sales.

Link the same item across marketplaces

  1. Open Inventory → Matching and click Calculate. Treecat looks through your inventory and groups items that look alike, each with a match percentage.
  2. Review the suggested groups under To review. Each group shows the listings Treecat thinks are the same item.
  3. Click Accept & link on each correct group. To accept many at once, use Accept High (+90%) for all high-confidence suggestions, or Accept custom accuracy level to choose your own threshold.
  4. If asked which photos the linked item should keep, choose Merge all images, Keep only primary listing images, or images from the marketplaces you pick.
  5. Click Dismiss on a wrong suggestion. It only removes the suggestion, never a listing. Dismissed suggestions move to the Dismissed tab, where Restore to review brings one back.

Linked items are treated as crosslisted: auto-delist protects them, and their sale is billable (see What counts as a billable event). If you do not want an item billed, do not match it.

Tip: Review suggestions at low and medium percentages carefully, and match items by hand if needed. You can show 50 or 100 groups per page, or choose Endless scroll.

Match one item by hand

Open the item and click Match in its action bar. Treecat helps you find and link the matching listing on another marketplace.

  • From the Inventory page: select the item and choose ⋯ → Unmatch in the action bar.
  • From the item page: click Unlink to split the cross-marketplace link for that item.

Clean up duplicates

Inventory → Fix Duplicates finds repeated listings within a marketplace account. Mark the one to keep and approve, and Treecat delists and deletes the rest. See Fix duplicate items.

Keep quantities consistent

  • Each sale lowers the item's available quantity by the quantity sold. At zero, the other listings are delisted.
  • If quantities have drifted, select items in Inventory or Sales and use Confirm Quantity. Treecat pushes that quantity to every live listing; agent-based marketplaces update over the next few minutes.
  • Each item's Events timeline shows what was updated and when.

See Quantity and multi-quantity items.

Frequently asked questions

No. Treecat matches listings by their content and you confirm the matches. Once linked, they share one inventory item and quantity.

Do I have to recreate my listings to use Treecat?

No. Import them and link them with Matching.

Is Matching free?

Running Matching is free. A linked item becomes billable when it sells, like any crosslisted item.
