However, you as a seller have tons of items to sell. So single listing would take forever right,

How to download the feed file?
First you need to download the feed file. For that –
Go to the Wayfair dashboard, and from the quick links, click on add new products.
Now, you see these options.
Here the first one- standard product is newly added. We can use this to download the template and then list items on it. The process is pretty simple and straightforward.
The tricky part with the standard product option is that you must enter accurate data. If there’s an error, the file gets rejected, and you’ll need to fix the issue and reupload it to finish. In the older version, though, the file would upload first, add your listing, and let you fix errors later.

I would suggest that you should get used to standard product options because the older method might be removed soon.
