InkFrog vs Ecomli After the Shutdown: What Maps Over

The InkFrog data export is no longer available. InkFrog let users download their listing data as a CSV file from the account dashboard until May 31, 2026, and the service shut down on June 1. Today inkfrog.com forwards to a Wix ecommerce page and the InkFrog app no longer loads, so there is no dashboard left to log in to. If you never saved that file, your listing data is not lost. It lives on eBay, and eBay's own active listings report is the export you work from now.

That changes the InkFrog vs Ecomli question as well. One side of the comparison is gone, so the useful questions are which InkFrog jobs have an Ecomli equivalent, which ones don't, and whether Ecomli fits the kind of eBay store you run. We make Ecomli, a non-API browser extension for eBay dropshippers. It works through the eBay seller account already signed in to your desktop Chrome browser, so there is no API connection to authorize. It overlaps with InkFrog on one job, creating new eBay listings with a designed template, and it adds the supplier-side work a listing tool never did. It also leaves several InkFrog jobs uncovered, and this guide names them.

• The InkFrog export: closed on May 31, 2026. Nothing can be downloaded from InkFrog now.
• The replacement export: the active listings report you download from Seller Hub Reports on eBay.
• Your listings: still live on eBay, but the images and template graphics InkFrog hosted stopped loading.
• Moving to Ecomli: Ecomli does not import InkFrog files. Its Migration reads the eBay Active Listings CSV instead.
• Who it fits: eBay dropshippers who source from Amazon or AliExpress. Cross-listers and sellers of their own stock are better served by other tools.

Can you still export your InkFrog data?

No. On April 29, 2026, InkFrog emailed its users that the service would close on June 1 and that listing data could be exported to CSV from the account dashboard until May 31. Value Added Resource reported the details of that notice, including automatic refunds for unused days in the billing cycle. Wix had owned InkFrog since 2020, and the old domain now sends visitors to a Wix multichannel selling page.

What you do next depends on whether you saved the file in time.

If you saved your InkFrog CSV

Keep it. It is a record of your listing data as InkFrog held it in May, and a few listing tools, including Voolist and Frooition, say they accept an InkFrog CSV directly. Ecomli does not import InkFrog files, so for an Ecomli move the file is a reference, not an input. You won't miss it: Ecomli starts from eBay's own data, which is more current than anything InkFrog exported before the shutdown.

If you never downloaded it

Your catalog is still there. Live eBay listings never depended on InkFrog, so the titles, prices, item specifics and descriptions are all held by eBay. What you can't get back is anything InkFrog kept only on its own side: templates you saved in InkFrog, listings you never published, and the image files it hosted for your descriptions.

Export your listings from eBay instead

The export that replaces InkFrog's is eBay's own. Seller Hub Reports, the tool eBay used to call File Exchange, lets you download a file of your listings at no extra cost. The steps on eBay's Seller Hub Reports help page are short:

1. Open the Reports tab in Seller Hub.
2. Select Download on the left-hand side, then the Download report button.
3. Choose Listings as the source and pick the active listings report.
4. Download the file. This is the eBay Active Listings CSV that Ecomli's Migration reads.

Two notes before you use it. If you set up File Exchange years ago, eBay says templates and scheduled reports from that legacy tool were not carried over to Reports, so create the download fresh. And the file describes your eBay listings, not your suppliers. It carries no supplier cost, and the only way a tool can tell which Amazon or AliExpress product a row belongs to is the Custom label (SKU) you set when you listed, or a supplier link you add yourself.

What happened to your eBay listings

They stayed up. As the image host img.vision explains in its guide to InkFrog-hosted images, eBay does not depend on InkFrog to keep live listings running. What went dark was everything InkFrog hosted for you: template graphics, banners, headers, store logos and in-description galleries. Any link in a description that pointed to an InkFrog domain stopped resolving on June 1, so affected listings show broken images or only part of the description, even though the listing data itself is intact.

Repairing those descriptions is an eBay task. eBay's help page on revising a listing says that on a fixed-price listing with purchases you can add to the description and add or change photos, and that Seller Hub lets you tick several active listings and change them from the Edit menu. Check what each listing allows before you plan a full rewrite. Our guide to revising eBay listings in bulk covers those screens in more detail.

Ecomli won't do this part for you. It does not restyle existing eBay listings or host images for listings it didn't create, and Migration leaves published descriptions exactly as they are.

InkFrog vs Ecomli: the feature map

InkFrog was a listing tool that could reach more than one sales channel. Value Added Resource's report lists its integrations as eBay, Amazon, Shopify and BigCommerce. Ecomli is a dropshipping tool with one sales channel, eBay. The table takes each job InkFrog did for eBay sellers and shows what Ecomli offers for it today. "Not covered" means Ecomli does not do that job, and you will need eBay's own tools or a different product for it.

The jobs a listing tool was not built for

InkFrog's work mostly ended once a listing was published. The rest of a dropshipping store's work, keeping each listing in line with its supplier and getting each order bought and tracked, sat outside it. These are the Ecomli automation features that cover that side, with the plan each one needs.

If you want the other side of that list, our breakdown of what InkFrog never did for eBay sellers goes through each gap in turn.

How to do this in Ecomli: from the eBay export to managed listings

Because Ecomli does not import InkFrog files, and InkFrog's export is gone anyway, the route runs through eBay. Your listings are still there, and Migration reads eBay's own file.

1. Download the eBay Active Listings CSV with the Seller Hub steps above.
2. Open Migration and choose eBay Active Listings as the source. Each row needs the eBay item number. Ecomli reads the supplier from the Custom label (SKU), whether that holds an ASIN, an AMZ_<ASIN> label or an AliExpress product ID, or from a supplier-URL column.
3. Review the held rows. Rows Ecomli can't read are held so you can add the Amazon or AliExpress link, and you can edit rows before you confirm. Nothing is guessed.
4. Confirm and set your rules. Your listings stay live on eBay throughout. The mapped ones come under Stock Monitoring, where you set your markup, your out-of-stock rule (set quantity to 0 or end the listing), your restock quantity and your price-change tolerance.
5. Record your supplier costs. The eBay file has none, and the Overview dashboard can only show profit as complete as the costs you record.

Listings with no Amazon or AliExpress supplier, such as your own stock or items from other suppliers, stay on eBay, but Ecomli won't monitor them.

For supplier-sourced products whose InkFrog descriptions broke, there is a second repair route. End the old listing and list the product again through Create Listings with a Description Studio template. The new listing gets a new eBay item ID and does not carry the old listing's sales history, so weigh that before you relist a steady seller. The step-by-step InkFrog-to-Ecomli migration guide shows each screen, and the post-shutdown cleanup playbook covers the eBay side of the repair.

What changes once a listing is live

For a seller who buys stock and lists it once, a listing tool covered most of the job. For a dropshipper, the listing is where the risk starts. The supplier can raise the price or run out while your eBay listing stays exactly as it was. Stock Monitoring checks supplier stock and prices for your Ecomli listings, including the ones you bring in through Migration, and updates the eBay price with your markup within the price-change tolerance you set. When the supplier runs out, your out-of-stock rule sets the quantity to 0 or ends the listing. If a supplier read fails, the listing is held unchanged rather than ended.

Two limits apply. Stock Monitoring runs in your desktop browser while it is open, not on a server, and Ecomli does not promise a check interval. It also only watches listings mapped to an Amazon or AliExpress supplier. Our guide to replacing InkFrog in a dropshipping store's daily routine goes through the Stock Monitoring, Auto Pruner and Tracking Conversions settings one by one.

What Ecomli costs

InkFrog's prices stopped mattering on June 1, so the live price question is Ecomli's. There are three monthly plans, billed upfront in USD, and you can cancel any time. The first subscription payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

• Starter, $29/month: 1,000 monthly product imports, 1 eBay account and manual ordering.
• Pro, $99/month: 5,000 monthly product imports and 1 eBay account, plus Basic Auto Ordering, Basic Auto Pruner and Image templates.
• Scale, $199/month: 10,000 monthly product imports, plus Advanced Auto Ordering on Ecomli's servers, Advanced Auto Pruner with automatic relisting, 3 eBay account seats and 1 VA seat.

Every plan includes unlimited active listings. The allowance is monthly product imports, which reset each billing month and do not roll over, and eBay's own selling limits still apply. Migration, Stock Monitoring and Description Studio are on every plan, and the Ecomli pricing page lists what each tier adds and the current add-ons.

Who Ecomli fits, and who it doesn't

A good fit

• You dropship on eBay and source from Amazon or AliExpress.
• You care more about supplier stock and price checks, supplier ordering and tracking than about template design.
• You work from a desktop Chrome browser and are comfortable with most tasks running in that browser while it is open.

If that describes you, our Amazon-to-eBay dropshipping software comparison shows how Ecomli sits against other tools in the same lane.

Not a good fit

• You sell on more than one marketplace. InkFrog reached Amazon, Shopify and BigCommerce as well as eBay. Ecomli lists only on eBay. A cross-listing tool is the closer match, and our cross-listing software roundup compares the options.
• You sell your own inventory. For thrift finds, wholesale stock or handmade goods there is little for Ecomli to do, because Create Listings works from Amazon and AliExpress product links and Stock Monitoring watches those suppliers. A listing tool or eBay's own Seller Hub tools will serve you better.
• You mainly need your old listings repaired. Ecomli does not restyle existing listings or host images, so it will not fix InkFrog-era descriptions.
• Your suppliers are not Amazon or AliExpress. Those are the only sources Ecomli lists from and monitors.
• You want to run the store from your phone. Ecomli's mobile app lets you check your dashboard, orders, profit digests and alerts, but listing and most tasks run in the desktop Chrome extension.

Frequently asked questions

How do I export my data from InkFrog now?

You can't. InkFrog's CSV export ran from the account dashboard until May 31, 2026, and the service shut down on June 1, so there is no longer a dashboard to log in to. Your live listing data is still on eBay: download the active listings report from the Reports tab in Seller Hub and use that file instead.

What happened to my eBay listings after InkFrog shut down?

They stayed live, because eBay does not depend on InkFrog to keep listings running. Images, banners and template files that InkFrog hosted stopped loading on June 1, 2026, so some listings show broken images or partial descriptions. You fix those by revising the listing on eBay.

Can Ecomli import my InkFrog CSV export?

No. Ecomli does not import InkFrog files. The route is Migration from the eBay Active Listings CSV you download from Seller Hub, which works whether or not you ever saved an InkFrog export.

Will Ecomli fix the broken images in my old listings?

No. Ecomli does not restyle existing eBay listings or host images for listings it didn't create, and Migration does not re-template or re-host the listings it brings in. You revise affected descriptions on eBay. For supplier-sourced products you can also end the old listing and list the product again through Create Listings with a Description Studio template, which creates a new eBay item ID without the old sales history.

Do I need to relist everything from scratch?

No. Migration maps your live listings to their Amazon or AliExpress suppliers so Stock Monitoring can manage them, and they stay live throughout. Rows Ecomli can't read are held for you to add the supplier link. You may still decide to add new products with Product Hunting and Create Listings rather than keep every old listing.

Is Ecomli a direct replacement for InkFrog?

Not for every job. Ecomli overlaps with InkFrog on creating new eBay listings with a designed template, through Create Listings and Description Studio. It does not host images, restyle existing listings or list on any channel other than eBay. What it adds is the dropshipping work around a listing: Product Hunting, Stock Monitoring, Auto Ordering on Pro and Scale within your buying limits, Tracking Conversions and the Overview dashboard.

The bottom line

There is no InkFrog data export left to run. The file that matters now is eBay's active listings report, and eBay itself is where old descriptions get repaired. If you dropship on eBay from Amazon or AliExpress, Ecomli is our pick for what comes next: most of what you need after InkFrog maps to it, with that eBay CSV as the bridge. Ecomli is our product, so weigh that when you read this verdict, and use the feature map above to check it against your own store. If you cross-list, sell your own stock or mainly need old listings fixed, Ecomli is the wrong tool. If eBay dropshipping is a side project for you, our eBay side hustle automation playbook covers which parts can be automated and which still need your time.
