Upload your collection

Easily upload your collectible card games, sports and non-sport trading cards collections directly from your desktop to My Collection.

With our tool for uploading your collection, you can create listings for your collectible card games, sports and non-sport trading cards collections without having to immediately publish your listings.

How to upload your card collection

You can upload your collection on desktop. The tool currently isn't available on the eBay app or mobile web.

Here’s how to find the tool and upload your collection:

  1. Go to My eBay.
  2. Select My Collection.
  3. Select the + Add item button and select Add next to the "Add with a CSV" text.
  4. Select a category for the cards you want to add to your collection: Non-Sport Trading Cards, Collectible card games, or Sports trading cards.
  5. Choose a template from the options available and download an eBay template if choosing the eBay template.
  6. Import your collection by either browsing files on your computer or dragging and dropping your CSV file to the screen.

Make sure to stay on the page until your upload is complete. If you leave the page at status “waiting” your upload won't be completed.

You can upload up to 5,000 cards to your collection. Your upload history can be viewed for up to 90 days. Upload history applies exclusively to file data.

Best practices for uploading your collection

Remember the following for the best experience when using the upload your collection tool:

  • Use only the templates provided on the bulk upload page. Avoid using a custom .csv template
  • Only upload collectible card games, sports and non-sport trading cards collections. Other types of card collections aren't currently available
  • You only need to upload your collection once. Your items will be duplicated if the same sheet is uploaded twice

If you experience any problems uploading your collection, review the error report for next steps.
