There are three common ways makers handle eBay and Etsy inventory management: manual spreadsheets, generic multi-channel tools, or a maker-first system like Craftybase.
Export orders from each platform, update your stock tab, adjust your material counts by hand. Works for tiny catalogs with rare sales, but falls apart fast. Miss one row and you're overselling on eBay while Etsy shows stock you don't have. It's also not tracking your raw material costs — just your finished goods count.
These tools sync finished goods quantities between eBay and Etsy in real time — useful if you buy products wholesale and resell them. But if you make your products from raw materials, quantity mirroring isn't enough. When your lye supply runs out, a sync tool doesn't know your soap is now unavailable. Craftybase does, because it tracks your materials — not just your listings.
We import orders from eBay and Etsy, deduct raw materials via your recipes, update finished goods, and give you a single accurate view of what you can make and sell across both channels. Built for batch production, kits, and made-to-order workflows. Learn more about Etsy inventory management and eBay inventory management.
