Default Re: eBay API Inventory Sync

When you listing on ebay, where do you put the x-cart SKU? I would like to make sure the SKU number is in the downloaded quickbooks transaction to make our bookkeeping easy. But somehow, looks like ebay listing does not have the SKU field...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So is the SafetyNetWeb's Auction Manager Pro is currently the best?

Can SafetyNetWeb be trusted? I contacted them twice, with no response over a week.

Hi,

I can vouch for them. I have used their modules for almost 2 years now and they are generally very responsive and have wonderful customer service. Did you use the Support Ticket system?

Hi, Pengrus,

That should work better. I only contact them through the support system.

The SafetyNetWeb Auction Manager website doesnt really explain what, if any, inventory integration happens between X-Cart and eBay and they don't exactly seem the most responsive of companies.

My understanding is that their product "allocates" stock to eBay listings, removing it from X-Cart inventory for the duration of the listing, then returning unsold stock to X-Cart inventory at the end of the listing.

Anyone know of a product that does "proper" stock management between X-Cart and eBay? Amazon as well would be great but perhaps to big an ask? The ideal solution would be to have the same inventory available via all channels and remove from stock only when sold.

To give them some credit, I asked the question again via their contact form and they got back to me within a few hours (on a Sunday too!) and confirmed it does work as suggested above.

So, the hunt for a solution for integrating X-Cart and eBay goes on...

Yes, I was hoping that it does proper stock management, we bought it and it turned out to be absolutely pointless. You still have to adjust stock manually - let's say you have 5 items, 2 are listed on e-bay and 3 are in the shop. If 3 shop items sell and you want to replenish with the remaining ones from e-bay you'd have to adjust e-bay listing manually to 1 and add 1 back to the shop inventory. Really, I see absolutely NO advantage in having this module and I will be requesting our money back.
Very disappointed..

I use Linnworks, works wonders with X-Cart, eBay, Amazon and a few others and is quite cheap.
