I had thought I could do that by downloading SMP and importing. Apparently, you can not import inventory into SMP.
Actually, since your using the Merchandising Edition of the Sales Manager, there is a way to download your inventory to import into the offline Sales Manager Pro.
It is a bit of a workaround, as the systems were not designed to be used together (rather one or the other) - but you can do it if needed.
If you would like to import your online inventory into Sales Manager Pro, you will first need to download your inventory into a .csv file. Here is the link that will allow you to download your online inventory:
http://www.vendio.com/my/client/selectdump.html
Once the inventory has been downloaded into a .csv file, it can be imported using the following steps:
In Sales Manager Pro, go to Tools -> Inventory Importer -> Text File (comma-separated fields.) Find your file, click "Import", and map the fields.
If you find that there are non-matching fields, leave the map field blank. Note that the field titles in the inventory importer do not necessarily match the downloaded inventory title exactly. Also, if you are using Sales Manager Pro, be sure that you detach any images that have been removed online before you download your inventory, as you will receive an error on import if the image attached to your inventory item does not exist online.

This is a good topic! I am always hearing about how ebay cancels listings without notice and sometimes erroneously..I assumed that because they were created through Vendio, that I would have a back up. If ebay cancels a listing, will it still exist on Vendio?
