Combine the same item listed on more than one channel

If you were already selling on eBay, Depop, Vinted, Shopify (and so on) before you joined FLUF, the same physical item often shows up as a separate row for each channel. This guide shows you how to bring those copies together into one listing so FLUF treats them as the single item they really are.

Combining is always safe to try and always reversible — your live marketplace listings are never edited, delisted or sold by this.

What "combining" does

Once two or more listings are combined into one:

• They show as a single row on your Listings page, with a pill for each channel it's on.
• A sale on any channel automatically marks it sold on the others, so you don't double-sell.
• Editing it once pushes the change to every channel.
• You can split them back apart at any time (see "Undoing" below).

It does not touch your actual listings on eBay, Depop, Vinted, etc. Nothing is relisted, edited or removed on the marketplace.

Option 1 — You can see the copies (quickest)

Best when you can spot the duplicates yourself on the Listings page.

1. Go to your Listings page.
2. Tick the box on each row that is the same physical item (the eBay one, the Depop one, the Vinted one…).
3. Open the Actions menu and choose Combine.
4. A box confirms which listing will be kept as the main one — press Combine.

That's it — those rows fold into one.

Option 2 — You have lots, or aren't sure where they are

Best when you sell the same stock across several channels and don't want to hunt row by row.

1. On your Listings page, open the Data menu (top of the page) and choose Find & combine duplicates.
2. Tick the channels you already sell the same items on, then press Start Scan.
3. FLUF refreshes those channels and then shows you each set that looks like the same item, with photos so you can check at a glance. Click any photo to see it full size.
4. For each set: press Combine if it's the same item, or Not the same to skip it. If you're confident, Combine all confident does the clearly-matching ones in one go.

The matches are grouped by how sure we are:

• Same SKU — the strongest. These are the ones Combine all confident acts on.
• Similar title — the titles line up closely.
• Possible match — check the photos — you titled the item differently on each channel and we think it's the same thing. Worth a look rather than a click.

Nothing is ever combined until you press the button, whichever group it's in.

Two things that help you decide:

• You don't need identical titles. "River Island Size 16 Red Frill Shorts" and "River Island S 16 Red Frill Shorts" are recognised as one item. Items whose sizes genuinely disagree — the same jumper in M and in L — are deliberately left alone.
• Every row shows when we last saw it on that channel. If a set holds two rows for one channel and only one is a real listing, the dates tell you which: the live one was seen recently, the leftover was seen months ago. Combining the set is still safe — the old record clears itself.

Seeing what's combined, and undoing it

Any combined item shows a "Linked" badge on its Listings row. Click it to see every channel listing that was joined, when, and whether you did it or FLUF matched it for you.

If something was combined that shouldn't have been, click Unlink all on that badge — the listings split straight back into separate rows. Your marketplace listings stay exactly as they were, and FLUF won't quietly re-combine anything you've pulled apart (though you can always combine it again yourself).

Good to know

• You can combine up to 50 listings in one go.
• If FLUF has only just discovered those channel listings, it may import one of them into FLUF first before combining the set.
• If a scan says it can't find your other channel's listings yet, refresh that channel first, then run the scan again.
• If a listing shows a price of 0, or Combine won't go through: that channel's listing hasn't finished syncing into FLUF yet. Refresh that channel, give it a moment, then try combining again.
• Combining works for items you were already selling on a channel before you joined FLUF too — a sale on one channel will mark it sold on the others just the same.
