How do you keep Walmart prices and stock updated on eBay?

[Asamun]

I've been selling on eBay for a while and recently started testing a few products from Walmart to see whether the price differences make the extra work worthwhile. I've got around 70 listings up now, mostly home and kitchen items, and keeping them accurate is becoming a daily chore. Walmart prices sometimes change between my checks, and a couple of products have already gone out of stock while my eBay listings were still active. I'm checking everything manually at the moment, but adding another hundred products this way doesn't seem realistic. I'm also spending quite a bit of time copying order details and checking tracking information. How are other sellers handling price changes, stock updates, and orders when they're working with a larger number of Walmart products?

Before adding more listings, put a minimum profit floor on every product. A flat percentage markup across the whole store can get dangerous because a small Walmart price increase can wipe out most of the profit on a cheaper item while barely affecting a stronger one. Calculate from the supplier price, tax, eBay fees, and shipping, then decide the lowest profit you're willing to accept. Set a clear point where a listing gets paused when the cost moves past that limit.

Seventy listings are still manageable by hand, but another hundred can turn daily checks into most of your routine. Before you scale further, it’s worth seeing which of those jobs can be automated. You can read about Walmart to eBay dropshipping software here. Start by checking how quickly price and stock changes are picked up. Then see whether orders and tracking updates can move through without you copying everything by hand, and check the plan limits once your listing count grows. Also read eBay’s dropshipping rules before building the whole workflow around Walmart, because the model where you buy from another retailer after the sale and have them ship straight to your eBay customer isn’t allowed.
