Stock list

List your stock on the web for buyers to browse using the CollectFair Stock Listing page layout. This makes it quick and easy to list literally hundreds of items of stock on the web.

You create a list of your stock in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The CollectFair system reads the spreadsheet, and converts it for display on the web.

Stock listing details

Each stock listing page can show a table with up to 5 columns and 400 rows. Here's how to do it:

  1. Example excel sheetCreate an Excel format spreadsheet using Microsoft Office, or any other spreadsheet which can save files in the Excel XLS format.
  2. In the top row put the titles for your columns. For example, you might want to include the Description, Condition and Price for your items.
  3. Enter the details for your items, and save the spreadsheet. Then, choose the Stock List page layout, and upload the spreadsheet to CollectFair in just the same way as putting a picture on your page.
  4. To update your stock, edit the Excel file on your computer, and upload the revised version.
