Migrating fromCrosslist to PalmFlow
A guide on how to quickly switch from Crosslist to PalmFlow.
Introduction
If you're considering moving from Crosslist to PalmFlow, you're in the right place. Because Crosslist connects to eBay through eBay's official API, your eBay store — not Crosslist — is already the source of truth for your listings, which makes this migration mostly automatic. This guide maps the concepts and walks through the move.

Background
- Crosslist is a Belgian company (Crosslist B.V., West Flanders) founded by Gilles Couvreur, live since the early 2020s. It passed 15 million listings created in January 2026, and stands out for covering European marketplaces like Vinted alongside the US ones.
- Crosslist is API-first where marketplaces allow it — eBay connects through an authorized API session — with a browser extension covering the rest. Plans are metered by new listings added per month.
- PalmFlow launched in 2026. It's a reseller operations platform — inventory, orders, cost basis, and P&L on server-side eBay and Shopify sync, with flat tiers instead of listing caps.
Concepts
Crosslist is a listing tool; PalmFlow runs the operation behind the listings. Here's how the ideas map.
| Concept | Crosslist | PalmFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Crosslist inventory — imported listings, auto-linked across marketplaces by title and main image. | Items move In stock → Listed → Sold, with bin locations, per-status SLA, and a per-item timeline. Every sale creates an order. |
| Sales | Sales analytics and auto-delisting on the Gold and Diamond tiers; lower tiers delist manually. | eBay and Shopify orders sync server-side with fees attached, on every plan. Other marketplaces are logged with the Sell flow. |
| Costs & profit | Sales analytics on higher tiers; no reseller bookkeeping — no cost basis or P&L. | Per-item cost basis feeding a full P&L, plus an expenses ledger, goals, and tax reports. |
| Billing | Metered by new listings per month — 200 on Bronze up to unlimited on Diamond. | Flat tiers by inventory size. Nothing meters your monthly listings. |
| Crosslisting | The core feature — 11+ marketplaces including Vinted and other European platforms. | Not a PalmFlow feature today. PalmFlow syncs eBay and Shopify instead of crossposting. |
Moving your data
Crosslist lists CSV import/export on its Gold and Diamond tiers, but doesn't publicly document the export's mechanics — so this guide leans on the route that always works: your eBay store itself.
- 1
Connect eBay to PalmFlow
In PalmFlow, go to Settings → Integrations → eBay and connect. Because Crosslist worked from your eBay listings via API, everything it managed is already on eBay — and it all imports into PalmFlow automatically with titles, prices, and quantities. Orders start syncing server-side from that moment. Connect Shopify the same way if you run a store.
- 2
Export a CSV if you have one
On Gold or Diamond, use Crosslist's CSV export for anything not live on eBay — drafts, ended listings, or Vinted-only stock — and for your records. Alternatively, eBay Seller Hub's active-listings report covers live inventory without Crosslist's involvement at all.

Import the CSV for the rest
In Inventory, click Import CSV. Columns are detected automatically — no mapping step. Since Crosslist doesn't track cost of goods, add a "cost" column to the sheet first if you keep costs in a spreadsheet; PalmFlow reads it and your P&L is real from day one. Rows whose SKU already exists are skipped, so the eBay import won't be duplicated. CSV import is part of the Pro plan.

Check the numbers
Open Reports and confirm item counts against eBay Seller Hub. If an import needs a redo, it can be undone in one click from the result screen.
What transfers
What comes with you, and how.
| Your data | How it moves | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Active eBay listings | Connect eBay — imported with titles, prices, and quantities. This is most of the migration. | Moves automatically |
| New orders & fees | Sync server-side from the moment eBay is connected. | Moves automatically |
| Drafts & non-eBay stock | Via Crosslist's CSV export (Gold/Diamond) or entered with quick-add. | Moves via CSV |
| Cost of goods | Crosslist doesn't store it. Add a cost column to your sheet before importing, or fill costs in later. | Manual |
| Item photos | Photos sync from eBay listings on the Ultra plan; on other plans you add them by hand. | Manual |
| Vinted / Depop / other listings | They stay live on those marketplaces — PalmFlow doesn't manage them. Log those sales with the Sell flow. | Stays behind |
Pricing
Crosslist meters new listings per month; PalmFlow's tiers are flat by inventory size. Prices as of July 2026.
| Crosslist | PalmFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | None — 3-day money-back guarantee (under 20 listings) | $0 — 50 items, free forever |
| Entry tier | Bronze — $29.99/mo, 200 new listings/mo | Pro — $19.99/mo, 500 items |
| Middle tiers | Silver — $34.99/mo (500) · Gold — $39.99/mo (1,000) | — |
| Top tier | Diamond — $44.99/mo, unlimited | Ultra — $39.99/mo, unlimited items (Enterprise sits above, for multi-store teams) |
| CSV import/export | Gold and Diamond only | Included in Pro |
Crosslist's auto-delisting and sales analytics also sit on the Gold/Diamond tiers. PalmFlow's server-side eBay/Shopify sync is on every plan, including Free.
PalmFlow annual billing drops Pro to $15.99 and Ultra to $31.99.
Conclusion
Because Crosslist rode on your eBay store, the hard part of this migration doesn't exist — connect eBay and the inventory imports itself. Bring a CSV for costs and stragglers, and your P&L is live the same day.
An honest caveat: if you sell on Vinted or other European marketplaces, Crosslist covers platforms PalmFlow doesn't touch — keep it for the crossposting. Plenty of sellers run PalmFlow as the system of record for inventory and profit while a crosslister handles distribution.
