Less manual work than CSV + InkFrog
No more feeding CSV columns with image URLs one by one. Folder Lister reads your folders, uploads images directly to eBay and pushes drafts while you focus on the collection itself.
Direct image upload to eBay — no CSV image URLs, no external hosting
In InkFrog and similar tools you often end up juggling CSV files and external image hosting: upload images somewhere else, copy URLs into a spreadsheet, and hope nothing breaks. That’s a lot of manual work when you’re listing real volume.
- Pick a folder with your product photos on your own drive.
- Folder Lister maps them to listings automatically, without touching a CSV.
- Images are uploaded straight to eBay’s own image servers (EPS).
You don’t need a separate web server, CDN or image-hosting subscription. No broken URLs, no “where did that image go?” surprises — just safe storage on eBay’s image server with your logo and template ready to go.
Interval scheduler that does what we missed in InkFrog
One of the biggest pain points we hit in InkFrog was scheduling: getting auctions live with a predictable interval instead of everything starting at once. Folder Lister includes a built-in scheduler with a time-delay setting between listings.
- Schedule the whole batch from a single calendar dialog.
- Set a time delay in minutes between listings.
- Let the interval planner drip your auctions onto eBay at the perfect moment.
This is especially useful for large collections, where you want buyers to actually see and bid on each individual listing — not 500 items starting in the same second.
Folder-based workflow instead of fragile CSV spreadsheets
Many traditional tools lean heavily on templates and CSV files — including the way you manage image URLs. Folder Lister starts at the place where your products already live: your folder structure.
- Use folder names and file names as natural labels for titles and categories.
- Apply item specifics and policies in bulk from the editor or through title codes instead of formulas in Excel.
- Reuse your structure every time you reload new photos into the same folders.
The goal is simple: less copy-pasting, fewer moving parts, and more listings online without the CSV overhead.
Desktop app + web editor
Work from a desktop application on your own machine, then fine-tune drafts in the web editor before publishing to eBay.
Flexible for collections
Designed for pins, cards, stamps, coins, patches and other collection-based workflows, where you want accuracy, branding and speed in the same tool.
From short title codes to full item specifics
One thing that really sets Folder Lister apart from generic eBay tools is its title coding system. Instead of filling in every item specific by hand, you can embed compact codes in your titles or folder names. Folder Lister reads these codes and turns them into structured item specifics.
- Use short codes to describe material, finish, size, condition and more.
- Let Folder Lister map those codes to the correct eBay item specific fields.
- Create full listings by only typing a title with a simple code pattern.
For example, a badge titled [VE3+] Lufthansa pin could encode “vintage”, “enamel”, a specific size and condition. Folder Lister can translate that into item specifics like material, style and condition on your drafts.
The result: you stay in your natural flow — naming items — while the app does the repetitive work of filling in item specifics consistently across hundreds of similar listings.
When Folder Lister is the right InkFrog alternative for you
Folder Lister is a strong fit if your day-to-day looks like this:
- You want to upload images directly onto eBay for free, without external hosting.
- You’re tired of CSV workflows where every mistake in an image URL breaks a listing.
- You need a bulk eBay listing tool with a predictable time delay / interval planner between listings.
- You want to list by only writing titles (with simple codes) and letting the tool handle the repetitive fields and item specifics.
- You often work in batches (20, 50, 100+ items) and want a repeatable, folder-based process.
- You currently use InkFrog or another web-based listing tool and want a faster way from folders to drafts.
If that sounds familiar, Folder Lister is probably the bulk eBay listing tool you were hoping existed.
