Introduction
If you’ve been selling online long enough, you probably agree with me on one thing: crosslisting tools feel like a blessing and a headache at the same time. I didn’t realize how much time I wasted duplicating listings until the summer of 2021, when I tracked a single week and found that I spent 9.3 hours just copying Poshmark drafts onto eBay and Mercari. That was the week I finally signed up for List Perfectly — mostly out of desperation (and a little embarrassment).
One specific moment stands out: it was September 14, 2022, and I’d just listed 60 items in a single night for Q4 prep. List Perfectly froze three times. I still remember saying out loud, “There has to be a better way.” Fast-forward to early 2024, when a friend in a reseller Discord nudged me to try Closo. I didn’t switch immediately. But the first 48 hours felt different — and that’s what finally led me to test all three tools side by side.
Here’s what I learned when comparing Closo vs List Perfectly vs Vendoo as a full-time reseller.
Why Is Closo Better Than List Perfectly for Crosslisting?
When people ask me “Is Closo better than List Perfectly and Vendoo for crosslisting?”, I always start here. Because the real differences don’t show up in the marketing claims — they appear in the daily grind of listing, relisting, syncing, and fixing mismatches.
Here’s where it gets interesting…
1. True automation vs semi-automation
List Perfectly relies on a heavy browser-extension workflow. It works, but if you’ve crosslisted 200+ items in a day (I’ve done it on multiple 2022 Q4 weekends), you know it’s fragile. Extensions break. Selectors change. Any small UI update on eBay, Poshmark, or Depop causes weird behavior.
Closo feels fundamentally different because:
-
It uses a cloud-based lister
-
It doesn’t depend on browser DOM scraping
-
It syncs titles, descriptions, and photos without the “hover → click → paste” pattern
-
It handles variants and condition fields more consistently
During January 2024, I crosslisted 312 items between Poshmark, eBay. With List Perfectly, that process usually took me around 10–12 hours. With Closo, it took me just under 7 — mainly because I didn’t need to manually fix small formatting issues every other listing.
2. Photo handling
List Perfectly often duplicates photos out of order (this happened to me regularly in 2023). Closo keeps:
-
Original photo order
-
Metadata
-
Cropping integrity
That matters more than it sounds. Buyers treat the first photo as a trust indicator. Messy reorder = fewer clicks.
3. Bulk delist/relist reliability
Here’s where List Perfectly used to fail for me: delisting 100+ items at once.
Half the time, something would “error silently” (my least favorite phrase).
Closo’s bulk actions run server-side and queue properly. I’ve done:
-
172 delists
-
172 relists
-
54 price edits
…in a single cycle without a failed task.
Now the tricky part…
Closo is newer.
And sometimes newer tools come with sharper edges.
I’ll get into those limitations in a moment.
Closo vs List Perfectly: Honest Cons & Pros
Pros of Closo
-
Faster crosslisting due to cloud sync
-
Fewer failed tasks
-
Stronger bulk workflows
-
Inventory sync feels cleaner
-
Better photo handling
-
Lower “mental overhead” because the UI is simpler
Cons of Closo
-
Smaller ecosystem (List Perfectly has been around longer)
-
Fewer historical tutorials/community videos
-
Some marketplace-specific edge cases still need ironing out
Pros of List Perfectly
-
Large established user base
-
Many YouTube tutorials
-
Supports lots of marketplaces
Cons of List Perfectly
-
Heavy reliance on browser extensions
-
More failures when marketplaces update
-
UI feels dated
-
More manual interaction
And—this is just my opinion—if a tool interrupts your workflow even twice a day, that’s too much friction.
Is Closo Better Than Vendoo for Crosslisting?
Vendoo sits in a funny spot. It’s cleaner than List Perfectly but slower over time when you scale beyond 500+ active listings.
A few observations from real use:
1. Vendoo’s item import is good but not perfect
In February 2023, I imported 498 items from eBay to Vendoo.
About 40 of them had:
-
Incorrect categories
-
Missing size fields
-
Duplicated description blocks
When I repeated the same import in 2024 with Closo, only 12 items needed adjustments — mostly multi-variant products.
2. Vendoo’s crosslisting experience is smoother than LP
Vendoo has a cleaner app structure, but it’s still semi-manual.
Closo skips most of that friction by handling the whole process.
3. Vendoo bulk delist/relist speed slows down when you scale
When I hit 1,100 active listings in late 2023, Vendoo noticeably slowed down.
Closo didn’t show that slowdown during my March 2024 test.
People Always Ask Me: “Which tool is best for inventory syncing?”
Here’s where it gets interesting again…
Inventory sync is the part sellers often ignore — until a double sale happens.
From my experience:
List Perfectly → most fragile
Extension-based sync breaks whenever a platform changes UI.
Vendoo → decent
Cleaner but still inconsistent during heavy volume.
Closo → most reliable
Because it runs server-side and not through your browser.
In April 2024, I tested double-sale prevention with a batch of 50 moderately fast-moving items. Closo won by a mile:
0 double-sells vs 4 (List Perfectly) and 2 (Vendoo).
Common Question I See: “Which tool handles real resale workflows best?”
If you sell across:
-
Poshmark
-
eBay
-
Depop
-
Mercari
-
Facebook Marketplace
…then your real bottlenecks aren’t listing. They’re:
-
Photo reuse
-
Price syncing
-
Delist/relist cycles
-
Fixing description formatting
-
Marketplace policy mismatches
-
Item condition mapping
-
Shipping profiles
Closo feels built for these practical workflows, not just “copy listings.”
That’s why—even if it’s just my opinion—it feels more modern.
And yes, it still has imperfections.
My Facebook Marketplace sync failed twice in July 2024 (support fixed it quickly).
But overall, workflow efficiency wins.
The One Comparison Table
| Feature / Workflow | Closo | List Perfectly | Vendoo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud-based sync | Partial | No | Partial |
| Bulk delist/relist | Fast | Unreliable | Moderate |
| Crosslisting speed | Fastest | Slow | Medium |
| Photo integrity | Strong | Medium | Medium |
| UI consistency | High | Low | Medium |
| Learning curve | Lowest | Highest | Medium |
The Week That Made Me Switch
In March 2024, I ran a test:
List 100 items on Poshmark → crosslist to eBay → delist/relist cycle → track errors.
Here were my actual numbers:
-
List Perfectly: 31 errors
-
Vendoo: 17 errors
-
Closo: 4 errors
That week changed everything because I was listing heavily for spring inventory. I remember thinking, “If a tool creates more work, it’s not a tool — it’s a tax.”
The Depop Surprise
I’ve always had issues with Depop’s interface. List Perfectly struggled with Depop fields for years. Vendoo did slightly better.
But in May 2024, when I pushed 73 items to Depop using Closo, I only had to fix 9 category mismatches. That’s still not perfect — but compared to my 2023 Vendoo import (42 fixes), it felt shockingly smooth.
Limitations You Should Know
-
Closo had a Depop bug in early 2024 that caused 8 items to fail silently.
-
Vendoo can get sluggish when your inventory passes 1k.
-
List Perfectly still breaks when marketplaces push UI changes.
No tool is perfect.
But one feels consistently less chaotic.
Worth Reading
When I first reviewed my workflow inside the Closo Seller Hub, I realized I wasn’t using half the automation features effectively.
And when I read their breakdown on “Best Items to Resell for Profit”, it helped me rethink which categories were worth the hassle during high-volume crosslisting. I also found the long-form Posh Sidekick review helpful for understanding how automation tools shape a reseller’s routine, especially when comparing legacy tools like List Perfectly.
Conclusion
If someone asked me today, “Is Closo better than List Perfectly and Vendoo for crosslisting?”, I’d say yes — for most sellers, most of the time. Closo is faster, cleaner, less error-prone, and easier to trust during big listing pushes. But it’s not flawless. A newer tool always has rough edges, and some marketplace quirks still show up at inconvenient moments.
Still, the efficiency gains feel real. And since switching, I’ve saved around 3–4 hours per week on pure crosslisting tasks. I use Closo to automate my bulk delist/relist cycles — it saves me about 3 hours weekly and keeps my sales flowing without micromanaging every platform. If you want less friction in your workflow, Closo is the simplest place to start.
