For Sale Product or stock-list CSV cleanup with a change log — US$25

If your product or stock-list CSV has inconsistent category names, unwanted spaces or duplicate rows, I offer a small cleanup with a record of what changed.

The US$25 package covers one non-personal, non-confidential CSV with up to 100 data rows and 15 columns. You receive:

- A cleaned CSV, with the original file preserved.
- A change log identifying the source rows.
- A duplicate log and a list of unresolved issues.

Identifiers such as 00123 stay as text. Duplicate rules and label changes are agreed before processing; conflicting values are flagged for your decision.

I am based in Austria and work remotely. This is an AI-assisted service using scripts and validation checks. Delivery is within three calendar days, with one revision. Fiverr handles ordering and shows buyer fees and any taxes at checkout.

Please reply in this thread with the approximate number of data rows and columns and the changes you need, so we can confirm whether this package fits. Do not post personal or confidential data.

Sensible little offer, and the bits that stand out as genuinely useful are the change log and keeping identifiers like 00123 as text. Anyone who has opened a supplier CSV in Excel and watched every SKU lose its leading zeros will know why that matters. EAN-13 barcodes suffer the same fate, so worth confirming those are treated as text too.

A few things UK buyers should check before ordering:

  • Date and currency formats. UK stock lists normally use DD/MM/YYYY and GBP with two decimal places. Ask up front that dates are not silently flipped to the US format and that prices keep their trailing zeros (4.50 not 4.5).
  • VAT columns. Many product files carry a VAT rate or code column (20%, 5%, 0%, exempt). Make sure that is left alone unless a change is agreed, as a stray edit there can throw out invoicing later.
  • Change log format. Ask for it as a separate CSV with row number, column name, old value, new value. That makes it easy to sample-check ten rows before trusting the rest.

On the tax side, since the seller is in Austria: a UK VAT-registered business buying a service like this from overseas would normally account for it under the reverse charge on their own VAT return, and Fiverr will show whatever it adds at checkout for non-registered buyers. Small sums, but worth knowing so the bookkeeping is tidy.

The "non-personal, non-confidential" condition is fair, though stock lists often sneak in supplier names, contact emails or cost prices. Strip those columns out before sending and add them back afterwards using the row identifiers. Cost prices in particular are not something most traders want floating around a third-party platform.

For 100 rows, a competent person with Excel or LibreOffice could do most of this themselves in an afternoon. The value here is having someone else do it consistently and hand back an audit trail, which is exactly what you want if the file feeds a shop or accounting package.
