The first action to take to start working with eBay is to create and configure the corresponding eBay node.

Publication and updating of listings

Prepare listings before going online

In order for the listing generation process to work properly you must perform the following tasks, in the same order:

1. Download the categories of your eBay store to bindCommerce and create correspondence with the categories of your products
2. Creation of the sale conditions (payment, guarantee and return and shipping)
3. Creation of custom template to generate a professional description (facoltativo ma consigliato)*
4. Generation of the Brand and/or MPN attributes required for publication purposes
5. Creation of parameters for listing generation

* Regarding point 3, it is necessary to prepare complete and professional listings, but it is not strictly connected to eBay, as the alternative formatted descriptions could also be useful for other purposes. The activities are as follows, in this order:

1. Creating a Web Server node ove verranno salvate le immagini a supporto delle inserzioni
2. Creating alternative ove salvare le descrizione formattate
3. Creation and customization of your own formatted template
4. Creation and activation of a connector to create / update the alternative description based on the previous template.

After having prepared all the input data it is possible to create and activate connector for the generation of eBay listings who will prepare or update the content of the listings in the appropriate table in bindCommerce, where it will still be possible to verify the content before publication.

Publish, update or end your listings

Communication with eBay will then follow: send, update and end listings.

The following insight will better explain the eBay workflow that can be automatically planned and executed.

Download orders

Orders are downloaded using the appropriate download order connector from eBay to bindCommerce.

Download of eBay listings on bindCommerce

Through the appropriate connector, it is possible download the listings already on sale on eBay to your account not generated and published through bindCommerce. By doing so, they can later be synchronized.

Through this process it is also possible to obtain product data starting from those of the imported listings. The extracted products can be subsequently transferred to other sales channels.
