Such a feature would be of great benefit in selling commercial classified accounts for me as well.

It doesn't really need to be a universal import. It can be rigid. (these values in this order). I don't think any of my customers would need to use such a feature as a regular maintenance feature, in fact, I'm not sure I would want them to have access to it at all. I'd rather have it as an admin feature. The initial setup, where there could be hundreds of entries, is where it would be extremely helpful.

If a customer could give me their inventory in a tab, csv, or Excel file for the intitial setup that would make life easier for everyone and make it an easier sell. I can easily manipulate it to conform to the structure of the import.

I have done a bulk csv import through MySQLAdmin, but I missed a field, so had to go back and fix some things manually.
