Updating prices on eBay.fr: which file format should I use? | Community Mentor Help

Hello, I manage an eBay seller account specializing in second-hand books: around 3,400 active listings, with each book being a unique copy (sold once, never restocked). My operational workflow has three distinct needs that come up daily: 1. Update the prices of part of my catalog (by far the most frequent case — I do several uploads a day to stay competitive), 2. Add new books as they come in, 3. Remove books once they are sold or unavailable.I’m discovering that on **bleep**, there are three separate file formats for these three needs, including one (the “Price and Quantity File”, Feed type 306) that is dedicated exclusively to price updates: it contains only SKU + new price, works as a partial update (records missing from the file are not affected), and is processed faster than the full format. My questions : 1. Does eBay offer an equivalent file format, dedicated exclusively to price updates, with partial update behavior (without the risk of overwriting other listing attributes)? 2. What formats does eBay officially recommend for, respectively, adding a new book, changing only the price of an existing listing, and closing a listing after a sale? 3. Is there official documentation or a reference Excel/CSV template for each of these formats on eBay.fr? My goal is to avoid sending my entire catalog every day when only a few dozen prices have actually changed: I’m looking for the lightest and fastest format for these daily updates. Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards,
