Migrating fromList Perfectly to PalmFlow
A guide on how to quickly switch from List Perfectly to PalmFlow.
Introduction
If you're considering moving from List Perfectly to PalmFlow, you're in the right place. List Perfectly's catalog exports cleanly to CSV on the Business plan and up, and your eBay store fills in the rest. This guide maps List Perfectly's concepts onto PalmFlow's and walks through the move step by step.
Jump ahead
Background
- List Perfectly launched in 2019, founded by two resellers — Amanda Morse and Clara Albornoz — and is based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's a crossposting tool with a strong community around it, including the Listing Party events and an active seller network.
- List Perfectly works through a Chrome extension that posts into marketplace forms and detects sales from your browser. There's no marketplace API connection — the extension drives your logged-in sessions, which is why it's desktop-Chrome-only.
- PalmFlow launched in 2026. It's a reseller operations platform — inventory, orders, cost basis, and P&L built on server-side eBay, Shopify and Discogs API sync. No extension, and sync runs with your computer off.
Concepts
List Perfectly is a catalog that pushes listings out; PalmFlow is an operations system that pulls your business in. Here's the mapping.
| Concept | List Perfectly | PalmFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | The Catalog — one record per item, linked to its listings on each marketplace. | Items move In stock → Listed → Sold, with bin locations, per-status SLA, and a per-item timeline. Every sale creates an order. |
| Sales | Sales detection notifies you (auto-marks sold on Pro); Auto Delist is Pro Plus only, works with quantity 1, and needs the computer awake. | eBay, Shopify and Discogs orders sync server-side with fees attached — no browser, no awake computer. Other marketplaces are logged with the Sell flow. |
| Costs & profit | No built-in cost-of-goods field — most sellers pair it with a bookkeeping tool or spreadsheet. | Per-item cost basis feeding a full P&L, plus an expenses ledger, goals, and tax reports — bookkeeping is built in. |
| Connections | Chrome extension only — it posts and detects through your logged-in marketplace tabs. | eBay, Shopify and Discogs by API, server-side. No extension anywhere. |
| Crosslisting | The core feature — crosspost to 11 marketplaces, with per-plan limits on which fields carry over. | Not a PalmFlow feature today. PalmFlow syncs eBay, Shopify and Discogs instead of crossposting. |
Before you start
One thing to check before you start, because it decides which route you take.
- Which List Perfectly plan you're on. CSV download lives in Express Editor & CSV Download, which is a Business-plan-and-up feature. On Simple, skip step 1 entirely — step 2 alone brings your live inventory over.
- Your eBay account credentials, for the API connection.
- Wherever you keep costs. List Perfectly has no cost-of-goods field, so your cost basis is in a spreadsheet, a notebook, or your head — you'll want it to hand.
- A PalmFlow account. The CSV importers are part of Pro.
Moving your data
You'll need the Business plan or higher for List Perfectly's CSV download. On the Simple plan, skip to the eBay route in step 2 — your eBay store already holds most of what matters.
- 1
Download your catalog from List Perfectly
The export carries your catalog detail — the descriptions and measurements you spent hours writing. That's the part worth moving; the live prices and quantities come from eBay in the next step anyway.
- Sign in to List Perfectly and open Express Editor & CSV Download.
- Leave the filters open to export everything, or set a listed-date or sold-date range if you only want part of the catalog.
- Click Search, then Download CSV.
- Open the file. You'll see titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, UPCs, colors, and sizes — and no cost column, because List Perfectly doesn't store one.
Add a column headed cost now and paste your cost basis in from wherever you keep it. It's the single highest-value ten minutes in this whole migration — without it PalmFlow can show you revenue but not profit.
- 2
Connect eBay to PalmFlow
This is the step that replaces the extension. Your live listings come across by API, and from then on orders arrive on their own — no Chrome tab, no computer left awake.
- In PalmFlow, open Settings → Integrations.
- Find eBay and click Connect, then authorize on eBay's own sign-in page.
- Choose the eBay marketplace you actually sell on rather than leaving the US default in place.
- Let the first sync finish — active listings arrive as items with titles, prices, and quantities.
- Connect Shopify the same way if you run a store.
On List Perfectly's Simple plan with no CSV access, this step is the whole migration. You lose the catalog descriptions List Perfectly held, but your live inventory and every future order come over intact.

Import the CSV
PalmFlow reads the export's headers on its own, and shows you what it made of the file before writing anything.
- Go to Inventory and click Import CSV.
- Choose your List Perfectly export.
- Read the preview: new items, sold rows becoming orders, duplicates it will skip, and every column it matched or ignored.
- Check that the cost column you added is being read — it should show as matched, not ignored.
- Confirm.
Rows whose SKU already exists are skipped, so the eBay import and this file won't produce two copies of the same item. Without SKUs, trim the CSV to what eBay didn't bring in first.

Bring your sales history and expenses
Sales and business costs import separately, so they don't have to be mixed into the catalog file.
- Export again from Express Editor & CSV Download with a sold-date range set, or download an eBay Seller Hub orders report, and import it from Orders → Import CSV.
- Import supplies, subscriptions, and shipping materials from Expenses → Import CSV — a card statement works as well as a hand-kept sheet.
- Import inventory before sales, so imported sales have items to link back to.
- 5
Check the numbers
Reconcile against a period you already know before you change anything about your List Perfectly subscription.
- Open Reports and set the range to last month.
- Compare revenue and item counts against List Perfectly's analytics dashboard.
- Spot-check a few items for cost basis, since that's the column you added by hand.
- Undo the import in one click from the result message if you want to adjust the sheet and rerun.
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. | Moves automatically |
| Catalog details | Titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, UPCs, colors, and sizes come over in the CSV. | Moves via CSV |
| Sold history | Export with a sold-date filter — sold rows become PalmFlow orders with price, platform, and date. A standalone orders sheet imports from Orders → Import CSV. | Moves via CSV |
| Business expenses | Supplies, subscriptions, mileage — import a sheet or a card statement from Expenses → Import CSV. | Moves via CSV |
| Cost of goods | List Perfectly doesn't store it. Add a cost column to the sheet before importing, or fill costs in later. | Manual |
| Item photos | The CSV carries image links, but PalmFlow doesn't fetch photo URLs from CSV. Photos sync from your live eBay listings instead, on every plan. | Moves automatically |
| Listings on other marketplaces | Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and the rest stay live where they are — PalmFlow doesn't manage them. | Stays behind |
PalmFlow doesn't crosslist. If you rely on posting to Grailed, Vestiaire, or Listing Party, see the conclusion before switching.
Anything you sold on eBay comes back on its own. Connect eBay, run Import past orders, and PalmFlow walks your history back two years — as far as eBay lets anyone go — with sale price, fees, and dates attached. You only need a CSV for sales made somewhere other than eBay.
Troubleshooting
The questions that actually come up partway through a move from List Perfectly.
I'm on the Simple plan and there's no CSV download. Am I stuck?
No. Connect eBay and your live listings come across by API with titles, prices, and quantities — no export needed. What you lose is the catalog detail List Perfectly held for items that aren't currently listed on eBay, and those you'd add by hand or with a quick sheet of your own.
The export has no cost column. Where does my cost basis come from?
You add it. List Perfectly doesn't store cost of goods, so paste your costs into a column headed cost before importing — PalmFlow also reads cogs, purchase price, and cost of goods as the same thing. If you skip it, you can fill costs in on the items later, but it's slower one at a time.
The photo links in my CSV didn't come through.
PalmFlow doesn't fetch photos from URLs in a CSV. Item photos sync from your live eBay listings instead, automatically and on every plan including Free. Anything you never listed on eBay needs photos added by hand. The listing photos on eBay itself aren't affected either way.
Do I have to stop using List Perfectly?
No. Nothing here touches your List Perfectly account or your listings on any marketplace. A lot of sellers keep crossposting through List Perfectly and run PalmFlow underneath as the system of record for inventory and profit.
Will auto-delist stop working while I migrate?
Your List Perfectly setup is untouched, so it works exactly as it did. Worth knowing for the comparison, though: PalmFlow's eBay, Shopify and Discogs sync runs on our servers, so it doesn't need your computer awake — but PalmFlow doesn't delist on marketplaces it isn't connected to, because it doesn't crosslist to them.
Pricing
List Perfectly prices by feature depth — every plan has unlimited listings, but fields, sales detection, and auto-delist unlock as you climb. PalmFlow's tiers are flat. Prices as of July 2026.
| List Perfectly | PalmFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | None | $0 — 50 active items, no card required |
| Entry tier | Simple — $29/mo (title/price/photo crossposting only) | Pro — $19.99/mo, 500 active items, cost basis + CSV |
| Middle tiers | Business — $49/mo · Pro — $69/mo | — |
| Top tier | Pro Plus — from $99/mo (adds Auto Delist, sub-accounts) | Ultra — $39.99/mo, unlimited items, teams (Enterprise sits above, for multi-store teams) |
| CSV export | Business plan and up | Included in Pro |
List Perfectly's auto-delist — the feature that prevents double-sales — requires Pro Plus, works with quantity-1 items, and needs your computer awake. PalmFlow's eBay/Shopify sync is server-side on every plan.
PalmFlow annual billing drops Pro to $15.99 and Ultra to $31.99.
You get both. Every new PalmFlow account starts with 14 days of Pro — the full product, no credit card — and when it ends you drop onto the free plan and keep working, rather than losing access. Nothing expires and nothing asks for a card.
Conclusion
The move is a CSV plus an eBay connection. Your catalog details and sold history come over in minutes, bookkeeping starts on day one, and nothing depends on a Chrome tab staying open ever again.
An honest caveat: List Perfectly crossposts to 11 marketplaces — the widest US coverage there is — and its community is genuinely valuable. If wide crossposting is your business, stay. If eBay (or eBay + Shopify) is your center of gravity and you're tired of extension workflows and separate bookkeeping, PalmFlow consolidates all of it.
