Default Re: eBay integration for X-Cart 5 RELEASED!

Hi Ben!

It's not quite clear if you really mean "ending listing" or just "updating the inventory", so let me please try to explain how it's supposed to work for both :

-Once the product ( listed on eBay) is purchased in X-Cart and quantity in stock in X-Cart database is decreased, an inventory update call is sent to eBay, so the quantity decreases there too. If the product got out of stock in X-Cart, on eBay side it becomes out of stock too, but listing is not ended. In other words, the product on eBay remains listed, but can not be purchased.

If you sell unique goods, and really need to "end listing" every time the product is sold out, it requires a custom modification of the module.

If you sell batch-produced goods, and need to continue selling them on eBay once they're back in stock, you do not need to "end listing" each time: instead, you just update inventory in X-Cart side, and either manually ( by pressing "export inventories to eBay as shown here http://www.x-cart.com/sites/default/files/addons/screenshots/eBay%20%20-%20products%20management.png) or automatically by cron.

In case you mean not "ending listing", but "not setting the quantity in stock to 0 on eBay side for some reason", it looks like a bug and requires the further check on your server.


If you need a custom quote for automatic ending listing, or if you faced a bug in this module, please submit a ticket in your HelpDesk account and mark it as "Attn Maxim Korchangin" to get it assigned directly to the module author and developer.

I am interested in whether this integration is capable of ending a listing when the product sells on the x-cart site?

I just uploaded a test product (stock = One) to ebay and bought it on X-Cart. Though the transaction is complete and the product is out of stock, it still appears in ebay.

Any workaround?
