How to import eBay Reviews & DSers Reviews to Shopify for Free Easily 2026

By Impran M N

Trusted reviews from platforms like eBay and DSers can make your Shopify listings feel far more credible to new visitors than a store with zero reviews. This guide covers installing the Kudosi (formerly Ali Reviews) app and its companion browser extension, scanning reviews straight off a live eBay listing, and understanding what you get free versus what pushes you into a paid plan. It's built around the same tool as the Etsy and Temu import workflow, since Kudosi treats every marketplace as just another source.

01Install Kudosi and check the plan you're on

Add Kudosi (formerly Ali Reviews) from the Shopify app store, then open Settings & Pricing to see what your account is actually entitled to. New installs typically start on a free trial of a paid tier — in this case a Super plan at $14.95/month after a 6-day trial — with higher tiers unlocking more import sources and AI-powered translation. Before scanning hundreds of reviews, it's worth confirming which plan you're on and what happens once the trial ends, since the free scanning workflow itself is the same across tiers but review volume and source limits are not.

02Open the eBay import instructions inside Kudosi

From the Import Reviews section, selecting eBay as a source takes you to a dedicated "Get reviews from eBay" screen rather than dropping you straight into a scan. It's a short walkthrough explaining that reviews come from the browser extension reading a live eBay page, with a Go to eBay button that opens eBay in a new tab so you can find the specific listing you want to pull reviews from. This intermediate screen exists for every marketplace source, so if the flow feels slightly different for eBay than for Etsy or Temu, this instructional step is why.

03Pick the destination product on the eBay listing

Once you're on the matching eBay product page, open the Kudosi extension panel and use the Product search field to find which item in your own Shopify store the reviews should attach to. The dropdown searches your live catalog as you type and shows a thumbnail alongside each match, which matters when you're running several near-identical variants — like multiple iPhone case designs — and need to be sure you're importing into the exact right listing rather than a similarly named one.

04Scan and publish the reviews

With the right product selected, click Scan reviews and Kudosi reads the review data visible on that eBay page. A confirmation view replaces the scan button once it's done — in a successful run it reports the exact count published, such as "45 reviews published," with a note that they may take a moment to appear on your storefront and a Manage reviews link to review or prune them afterward. That count is your quickest sanity check that the import actually worked before you go looking at the live product page.

05Repeat the same process for DSers-sourced products

DSers sits on the same Import Reviews source list as eBay, so the mechanics don't change — open DSers as a source, follow its instructional screen, find the matching product on the DSers side, and scan. Because many dropshipping stores source the same item through both eBay and DSers, it's common to run this twice for one product: once against an eBay listing and once against the DSers/AliExpress supplier listing, to build up a fuller set of reviews rather than relying on a single source.

06Clean up and configure the storefront display

After importing from both sources, head to Manage Reviews to remove anything that doesn't read naturally for your product, then use Show Reviews to set how the widget renders — star summary, count, and whether photos are included. Running an import from two marketplaces makes duplicate or near-duplicate reviews more likely, so a quick pass through Manage Reviews before publishing is worth the few minutes it takes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pay for this review import method?

Kudosi typically starts you on a free trial of a paid tier (for example $14.95/month for the Super plan) rather than a permanent free plan, so check Settings & Pricing to see what you're on before the trial ends.

Is this useful for dropshippers specifically?

Yes, it's aimed at dropshippers and store owners who want to add credibility using genuine reviews pulled from the same eBay or DSers listings they're sourcing products from.

Can I bulk import reviews instead of doing it one by one?

Scanning happens per product page, but Manage Reviews inside Kudosi supports bulk actions for approving or curating reviews across multiple products afterward.

Will imported reviews match my store's theme?

You can customize the review widget's appearance in Show Reviews after import so it fits your store's design.

Can I import from both eBay and DSers for the same product?

Yes, since both are separate sources on the same product, you can scan each and combine the results, though it's worth checking Manage Reviews for duplicates afterward.
