The problem

Vendoo was built for the manual-entry crosslisting era. The reseller workflow has moved on.

Vendoo solved a real problem in its day — but the problem has changed. The reseller workflow is no longer "build a template, copy it for every listing, ship it to eBay." The modern workflow is photo-first: photograph the inventory, let AI generate the listing, review, publish. Every step that involved a human typing repetitive cataloging data has either been removed or moved to a one-keystroke approval action.

The cost of staying on Vendoo isn't just the subscription. It's the compounding time you spend on data entry that doesn't have to exist. For a seller doing 30 listings per week, ten minutes per listing means five hours of weekly typing — 260 hours per year — that AI can do in seconds.

HumCity is what Vendoo would be if it were rebuilt from scratch in 2026 with the current state of vision-language AI. Photo-first input, AI-generated listings, keyboard-first review, bulk publish via the official eBay API. The output looks the same to eBay; the workflow to get there is ten times faster.

What you get

Capabilities built for this exact workflow.

  • AI listing generation from photos

    Drop product photos and the AI generates the title, item specifics, category, condition, description, and pricing. The cataloging work that took 6–10 minutes per listing collapses to seconds. The seller's job becomes review and approval, not typing.

  • Pile Mode™ bulk upload (10–500 items)

    Bulk listing means dropping a pile of photos, not building a CSV. Pile Mode supports up to 500 photos per upload with parallel AI inference. Multi-photo items are auto-grouped, duplicates are flagged, and the review queue is built for keyboard speed.

  • Direct eBay API integration

    Listings publish via the official eBay Trading and Inventory APIs. From eBay's perspective, listings look identical to Seller Hub manual creation — same search treatment, same Best Match eligibility, same Seller Hub visibility. Your business policies sync automatically.

  • Modern UI built for keyboard-first volume

    The review queue is designed for sellers who think in stacks. Arrow keys to navigate, J/K to approve/edit, Cmd+Enter to publish. Dark mode, responsive layout, mobile-friendly. The kind of interface that respects sellers' time at 100+ listing volume.

  • Free for the first 50 listings per month

    Every account gets 50 free listings or revisions per month with no credit card required. Most sellers can fully evaluate the AI workflow, bulk upload, and review queue before deciding to upgrade. Paid plans start at $10/month for 500 listings and scale with volume.

  • Collectibles-aware AI (cards, slabs, coins, comics, LEGO)

    Specialty categories get specialty intelligence. The AI reads slab labels (PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, NGC, PCGS), recognizes Pokémon sets, identifies LEGO set numbers, parses comic covers, and reads vinyl matrix codes. The category-specific item specifics fill correctly the first time.

Use cases

Built for the way real resellers work.

Closet resellers who don't want to type

Closet and apparel resellers are Vendoo's core base. HumCity reads brand tags, size labels, and condition from photos — the cataloging work that took 5 minutes per listing in Vendoo collapses to a quick review. Cross-listing to multiple marketplaces is on the roadmap and will follow Vendoo's coverage.

Collectibles sellers needing category-specific intelligence

Vendoo treats all categories the same way — generic form fields, no category-specific intelligence. HumCity's AI is collectibles-aware: slab labels read automatically, set data populated for cards, condition assessed for graded items. This is the largest functional gap compared to Vendoo.

High-volume sellers wanting bulk-first workflows

Vendoo is fundamentally one-listing-at-a-time. Pile Mode is bulk-first — 500 items in one upload. For sellers running real volume, this is the structural difference that drives the migration.

Sellers tired of Vendoo's per-listing pricing

Vendoo's pricing has historically scaled per crossposted listing, which can get expensive fast at high volume. HumCity is volume-priced — $10/month for 500 listings, $25/month for 2,500, scaling from there. The unit economics improve as you grow.

FAQ

Common questions

Why switch from Vendoo?
Vendoo is built around manual data entry that then crossposts to multiple marketplaces. HumCity removes the manual entry step — AI builds the listing from your photos. For sellers spending most of their time on data entry, the time-savings are the migration driver.
Does HumCity crosslist to multiple marketplaces?
eBay is live today via the official API. Mercari, Whatnot (beta), and Shopify (beta) integrations are following. Poshmark is on the roadmap. The same inventory record drives all channels when integrations are live.
What about collectibles?
Collectibles are a core focus. HumCity reads cards, slabs, coins, comics, and LEGO sets natively — Vendoo has no category-specific intelligence for these. If you sell collectibles alongside softline inventory, HumCity is the differentiated fit.
Can I migrate my Vendoo inventory to HumCity?
Yes via CSV export from Vendoo and CSV import to HumCity. Going forward, the workflow is photo-first, so historical data import is typically a one-time migration step.
Does HumCity have Vendoo-style sale tracking across channels?
Sale tracking is part of the inventory catalog — when an item sells on any connected channel, the inventory record updates and the cost basis / profit calculation runs. Cross-channel sale aggregation similar to Vendoo's analytics is part of the roadmap.
How does HumCity's pricing compare to Vendoo?
HumCity is volume-priced ($10/month for 500 listings, scaling from there). Vendoo's pricing has historically been per-listing or per-crosspost, which scales linearly with volume. HumCity's unit economics improve as you grow.
Is the free tier real or trial-only?
Real and permanent — 50 listings/month free, no credit card, no auto-conversion to paid. Most sellers can fully evaluate HumCity on the free tier before deciding to upgrade.
Will I lose my Vendoo listings on eBay?
No. Your active eBay listings (regardless of which tool created them) come into HumCity on store connection and you can manage them from there. The eBay listings themselves don't change unless you revise them in HumCity.
Does HumCity have a browser extension like Vendoo?
No browser extension is needed because the AI workflow doesn't require one. Vendoo's extension exists to extract product data from existing listings on other sites — HumCity extracts directly from product photos, which removes the source-listing dependency.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every account gets 50 free listings or revisions per month with no credit card required. Most resellers can fully evaluate the AI workflow, image recognition, and bulk upload before deciding to upgrade. Paid plans start at $10/month for 500 listings and scale with volume.
Does HumCity use the official eBay API?
Yes. HumCity is an authorized eBay API partner and uses the official Trading and Inventory APIs. Every listing published from HumCity appears in eBay Seller Hub normally, counts toward your eBay reputation, and respects your existing business policies for shipping, returns, and payments.
