An eBay to Shopify migration moves your entire catalog — products, variants, images, inventory levels, and order history — from eBay onto a Shopify store you own outright, usually in one to two weeks. You stop paying eBay final-value fees on every order and start owning the customer relationship, the data, and the storefront. Platform Direct runs the migration end to end on a fixed price and a delivery date set in week one, then hands over every credential at launch.

eBay to Shopify Migration
Move your whole eBay store onto Shopify in about one to two weeks, keep the catalog and customers, and stop handing over a cut of every sale.

What moves across
Products, variants, images, inventory levels, customer accounts, and order history all transfer with a mapping you approve before anything goes live. Catalogs from a few dozen SKUs to six figures make the jump without retyping listings by hand. Where eBay item specifics map cleanly to Shopify product options, we carry them; where they do not, we clean them up on the way.
How long it takes
A straightforward store is usually live in one to two weeks. Large catalogs, wholesale tiers, or custom checkout logic push that toward three to four. Discovery in the first week sets a fixed launch date, and that date is what we build to — no open-ended timelines.
What it costs against staying
eBay takes roughly 10 to 15 percent of each sale once you add final-value fees, payment processing, and promoted listings. A seller doing $500k a year is handing over $50k to $75k annually. A migration is a one-time build cost, not a percentage forever — most sellers recover it from saved fees inside a year, then keep the difference.
Why not just do it yourself
The CSV export is the easy part. The work that traps people is catalog mapping, 301 redirects so you do not lose search rankings, tax and shipping configuration, and reconnecting the tools you already run — Klaviyo, Gorgias, ShipStation. We handle those so the store works on day one rather than month three.
After launch you own it
The Shopify store, the theme code, and every admin credential are yours at handover. There is no retainer and no licence back to us. You keep the customer list, the analytics, and every dollar you used to pay eBay in fees.
Questions sellers ask
- Will I lose my eBay reviews?
- eBay feedback stays on eBay, but we carry your product reviews where they can be exported and set up a review tool on Shopify so new buyers see social proof from day one.
- Can I keep selling on eBay during the move?
- Yes. Nothing on your live eBay store changes until your Shopify store is ready. Many sellers run both for a while, then wind eBay down on their own schedule.
