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.

In the absence og an alternative, could you explain how you did this in MYSQL admin? I am faced with a dealer who has over 200 listings and I really want to import them...
