Quicklist and iSold It are shutting down — how to get your store data out

What is actually happening

iSold It — also written iSoldIt, and originally “I Sold It on eBay” — is the eBay drop-off franchise that spent two decades selling other people's things for them. It is now winding down its franchise operation, and stores have been notified. If you own one, the brand is the smaller half of the problem. The bigger half is that every iSold It store shares one piece of software.

Quicklist is that software: the franchise back office where your sellers, commission plans, item drafts, eBay listings, orders, transactions, offers, cheque payouts and bin locations all live. It is not a copy of your records — it is the only copy. There is no desktop database on a machine in your back room, no nightly CSV dropping into a folder, no API a developer could point at. When the franchise stops paying to keep that app running, the records go with it.

What you lose when the back office goes dark

It is worth being specific, because “my data” is easy to underestimate until you list it out. Here is what a Quicklist store actually has inside the app, in the order it hurts to lose.

Why copying it out by hand does not work

The instinct is to put someone on it for a week with two browser tabs and a spreadsheet. We looked at that seriously before building an importer, and it fails in ways you would not notice until months later, when a consignor asks about a sale that is not in your new system. These are the specific traps, from doing the migration for real:

• The pages are locked to 30 rows: The page-size setting is ignored, so a store with 5,000 sellers is roughly 170 pages, the item list is another 190, and the orders another 130 — before you open a single item detail page for its category, specifics and photos.
• The order tabs do not add up: On the store we migrated, 130 paid orders from a previous year appeared in none of the five order tabs — not unpaid, paid, archived, missing-payment or cancelled. Copy from the tabs and you silently lose real sales, and the consignor balances that depend on them. We only found them by sweeping order ids directly.
• Some listings live somewhere else entirely: Items created directly on eBay rather than through the store workflow sit on a different route — the normal item page errors out for them. It is a few hundred listings that are easy to miss because nothing tells you they are missing.
• The money is per line, not per order: Each order breaks into individual transactions, each with its own seller and store amounts and its own commission tier. An order total is not enough to rebuild what a consignor is owed — you need the line-level split.
• Photos are not copy-pasteable: Item images are individual signed file URLs. There is no gallery download, and a mid-size store has tens of thousands of them. Skip this step and your first job in the new system is re-shooting your entire floor.
• Staff keep working while you copy: Items get checked in and orders arrive during a multi-week manual export, so the snapshot is out of date before it is finished. A real migration needs a delta pass right before cutover.

What a replacement has to do for a drop-off store

A drop-off store is a specific business, and most retail software does not fit it. You do not own the inventory. You sell one-of-a-kind items on someone else's behalf, on marketplaces. You owe the owner money the moment their item sells. So the shortlist is narrower than “point of sale software”:

• Real consignor accounting: Tiered percentage splits, per-item minimum fees, and a rule for whether marketplace fees are passed to the seller or absorbed by the store — because that is how drop-off pricing actually works.
• Native marketplace listing: Item specifics, categories, condition and revisions handled properly on eBay, not a generic product feed. And ideally more marketplaces than just eBay.
• Payouts and self-service statements: Balances the system calculates itself, payouts you can run in a batch, and a portal so consignors can check their own items instead of phoning the counter.
• A genuine import path: Someone who will take your existing history — consignors, items, sales, payouts, photos — and reconcile it, rather than handing you a blank catalog and a CSV template.
• Stock sync you can trust: If you list one item in more than one place, selling it has to delist it everywhere else automatically. With unique consignment inventory, overselling is not a rounding error.

Moving an iSold It store to ResaleOS

ResaleOS is a cloud platform for resale and consignment businesses: consignor accounts and payouts, AI-assisted cataloging, crosslisting to 28+ marketplaces, a point of sale, and a branded storefront — all on one catalog. We have already put a full iSold It store through it, which is why the Quicklist path exists at all. Here is what changes.

How the Quicklist migration actually runs

Because there is nothing to export, the import works from the back office itself. You start the migration in ResaleOS, enter your own Quicklist login, and the job runs in the background: it walks every seller, item, eBay listing, order, transaction, payment and commission plan, and downloads every item photo along the way. For a full store that is a few hours of crawling, not a few minutes — it is thorough on purpose.

Then it is mapped, not just dumped. Sellers become consignor accounts with their splits. Items become products with categories, prices, SKUs and photos. Orders become sales, with each line carrying the actual seller/store split it paid out at, so the resulting balance matches what Quicklist told you. Cheques become payout records. Sellers still awaiting payment arrive with their balance intact.

Work down it in order. Step one is the only one with a deadline attached.

The bottom line

A franchise closing is not the same as a business closing. You still have the storefront, the staff who know how to photograph and list, the eBay account with years of feedback, and a town full of people who bring you things to sell. What you no longer have is software — and the record of everything you have ever sold is currently inside it.

Move that record out while you can, and the shutdown turns into an upgrade: your own name over the door, no franchise overhead, AI doing the intake typing, consignors checking their own balances, and the same inventory listed on 28+ marketplaces instead of one.
