Send Ebay kleinanzeigen the products worth showing.

Kleinanzeigen is Germany's largest online classifieds marketplace, with tens of millions of live listings spanning everything from electronics and furniture to services and jobs. Until May 2023 it operated under the name "eBay Kleinanzeigen," but it dropped the eBay brand entirely to become simply "Kleinanzeigen," moving to the kleinanzeigen.de domain under a new green "K" logo. The platform is owned and operated by Adevinta, the classifieds group, and is no longer affiliated with eBay's marketplace or seller tools in any operational sense — despite the old name lingering in casual conversation and search habits.

Because it grew out of classifieds rather than e-commerce, Kleinanzeigen still behaves more like a local ad board than a shopping feed destination: listings are searched, browsed by location, and often negotiated directly between buyer and seller, rather than served as structured shopping ads.

For merchants selling into Germany, Kleinanzeigen offers reach into an audience that doesn't necessarily start on Google Shopping or Amazon — buyers who default to classifieds for secondhand, local, or budget-conscious purchases. Commercial ("gewerblich") sellers can operate a storefront-style presence with a PRO account, including features aimed at giving business listings more visibility and buyer trust than an average private ad.

It's worth setting expectations correctly, though: Kleinanzeigen is not a real-time shopping-ads channel like Google Merchant Center or a social catalog like Meta or TikTok. Feeding it well generally means keeping a volume of individual ads accurate and current, not syncing a live product catalog into paid shopping placements.

Kleinanzeigen requires business sellers to operate from a dedicated commercial account ("gewerbliches Nutzerkonto") — a private account cannot be converted into one, and commercial listings cannot legally be posted from a personal account. This is a gate that has to be cleared before any feed automation makes sense.

Commercial ads also must carry legally required disclosure under Germany's Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz (DDG) §5 — comparable to a website Impressum — including the seller's name, a postal address that can be served with legal notice, and contact details enabling direct electronic contact. Kleinanzeigen provides a dedicated field for this at ad-creation time, and it needs to be kept accurate across every commercial listing a feed produces.

Kleinanzeigen does not publish a current, official public feed specification the way some larger ad or shopping platforms do — there is no single documented XML or JSON schema that Kleinanzeigen itself maintains for merchants to submit at scale. In practice, businesses that need to publish many listings rely on third-party publishing and automation tools built for Kleinanzeigen, which accept a merchant's product data as CSV, JSON, XML, or XLSX and translate it into individual ads on the seller's behalf.

Because there's no single universal schema, the practical approach is to normalize your product data into one clean, generic feed (CSV or XML with clearly labeled columns) and route it into whichever Kleinanzeigen-focused publishing workflow your business uses, rather than expecting a plug-and-play "Kleinanzeigen feed" format to exist in the way it does for larger ad platforms.

There's no single official attribute list from Kleinanzeigen for bulk feeds, but combining what Kleinanzeigen's own Help Center confirms is required when posting an ad with what a documented third-party feed-import tool recognizes from merchant feeds gives a realistic picture of the data points to prepare:

Note that the "price type," "images," "stock," and "shipping" behavior described above reflects what one documented Kleinanzeigen automation tool recognizes from an uploaded feed — it is not an official Kleinanzeigen field specification, since Kleinanzeigen does not publish one.

1. Confirm your Kleinanzeigen presence is set up as a commercial account, with a valid Impressum-style disclosure ready to attach to listings.
2. In Feedance, build a Kleinanzeigen-targeted export using a clean, generic schema — category, title, description, price, price type, location, images, and shipping/availability — since Kleinanzeigen has no single official feed format to map against directly.
3. Export that feed as CSV or XML and connect it to whichever Kleinanzeigen listing/publishing workflow your business already uses to get ads onto the platform at scale, since Kleinanzeigen itself does not offer merchants a documented self-serve bulk-upload endpoint.
4. Run a small batch first and check listings manually against Kleinanzeigen's category and Impressum requirements before scaling up the feed.
5. Keep price, availability, and description changes flowing through the same feed so listings don't go stale or get overwritten inconsistently between manual edits and automated updates.

Kleinanzeigen's Help Center notes that newly posted ads can take up to 24-48 hours to be reviewed and published in some cases, so treat the platform as slower-moving than a real-time ads channel — there's little benefit to pushing updates by the minute. A more realistic cadence is to sync price and availability changes as they happen operationally (daily is a reasonable default), while avoiding unnecessary re-posting of unchanged listings.

This also has a cost dimension: since March 2025, Kleinanzeigen sharply reduced free listing allowances for commercial sellers and charges per listing beyond the free quota (see the fee table in the next section). Needlessly refreshing or re-posting ads that haven't actually changed can burn through that quota and generate avoidable fees.

Because Kleinanzeigen doesn't publish standardized feed error codes, the practical failure points to plan for are policy and account-level rather than schema-level:

1. Attempting to post commercial listings from a private account — Kleinanzeigen requires a dedicated commercial account for this and won't allow it otherwise.
2. Missing or incomplete legal disclosure (Impressum-style details) on commercial ads, which is a legal requirement under Germany's DDG §5, not just a platform preference.
3. Exceeding the free-listing quota introduced in March 2025 without expecting the resulting fees — commercial sellers get only 5 free listings per 30 days for general goods categories, 2 for services, and 1 for jobs, with per-listing fees (roughly EUR 1.99-2.49 for goods, EUR 3.99-4.99 for services, and EUR 12.99-14.99 for jobs) applying beyond that.
4. Feed data that doesn't get cleared when a product sells out or is discontinued, leaving stale ads live because nothing in the feed told the publishing workflow to pause or remove them.

General guidance, based on how Kleinanzeigen's search and ad-review process is documented to work, not on any Kleinanzeigen-specific optimization program:

1. Front-load your most searchable keywords into the title — it's the only field Kleinanzeigen confirms is indexed for text search.
2. Keep category selection accurate; miscategorized listings are harder to find and risk running afoul of platform policy.
3. Fill the postal code/location field precisely, since local and distance-based browsing is central to how buyers use the platform.
4. Only push updates through your feed when something actually changed, to avoid burning through the reduced free-listing quota unnecessarily.
5. Keep your commercial account's legal disclosure details current across every listing your feed produces — this is a legal obligation, not just good practice.

Is it still called "eBay Kleinanzeigen"? No. It rebranded to simply "Kleinanzeigen" in May 2023 and is owned by Adevinta; it is no longer affiliated with eBay.

Does Kleinanzeigen offer an official product feed API for merchants? Not a current, publicly documented one. Businesses that need to publish listings at scale generally use third-party Kleinanzeigen publishing/automation tools that accept CSV, XML, or JSON feeds, since Kleinanzeigen itself doesn't publish a self-serve bulk feed specification.

Can I use my existing private Kleinanzeigen account for a business feed? No. Commercial listings require a dedicated commercial ("gewerbliches") account, and a private account cannot be converted into one.

What does it cost to list commercially? Since March 2025, commercial sellers get a limited number of free listings every 30 days depending on category (5 for general goods, 2 for services, 1 for jobs), with per-listing fees applying beyond that.

How fast do feed-published listings go live? Kleinanzeigen's own Help Center notes that in some cases review and publication can take 24-48 hours, so plan feed timing with that lag in mind rather than expecting instant publication.

Kleinanzeigen, formerly known as eBay Kleinanzeigen, is Germany's largest online classifieds marketplace, with listings for everything from electronics and furniture to vehicles, services and jobs. In May 2023 it dropped the eBay brand and became simply Kleinanzeigen at kleinanzeigen.de. It is owned by the classifieds group Adevinta and is no longer affiliated with eBay.

Because it grew out of classifieds, Kleinanzeigen works more like a local ad board than a shopping engine: buyers search and browse by category and location, and many deals are arranged directly between buyer and seller. Alongside private users, businesses can sell on the platform to reach German shoppers looking for local, secondhand or budget-friendly offers.

Business sellers must use a dedicated commercial account and include the required seller information with their listings. Kleinanzeigen does not publish an official public feed specification, so bulk listing usually runs through tools or partner integrations that turn product data into ads.

Good product data still matters. Clear, searchable titles, accurate prices, good images and correct category and location details help ads get found, and keeping listings in sync with your stock prevents buyers from contacting you about items that are already sold.
