eBay API Inventory Sync

christophkl · #1 12-06-2008, 11:05 PM

I have created a a script that synchronizes the inventory levels between my eBay and X-Cart store, it will end eBay listings when inventory runs out via any change at the store and also adjust store listings when an item sells on eBay.

Would any one be interested in a Add-on like this.

Right now it runs on X-Cart 4.0.something but I think I am hoping to upgrade my site to the latest version soon.

The script runs in the background with no user intervention.

I have put a lot of hours into building this script and it takes a little setting up for each eBay account, so if someone is interested I would probably have to charge quite a bit for installing etc, just want to let everyone know that this is available.

Moving to Third Party Add-Ons, the Completed Custom Mods forum is for posting free, completed code only.

Does anyone know if there is any other software that will do what the op's script does?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I highly recommend SafetyNetWeb's Auction Manager Pro. It launches a product to eBay, syncs inventory (if you choose to). It is a great module. I am not affiliated with them but I am a very happy user. The module keeps getting better all the time. If you have any questions, just ask.

Their support is one of the best! So worth the modest investment.

Hi, i already have that one but i need something more powerfull, if it did a 2 way realtime synch then it would be excellent.

Not sure if I understand what you mean by two way sync.

This is how I do it - if I have say 5 of a particular product, I send 3 to eBay keep 2 in my website. The site shows 2, eBay shows 3. If none sold and the item ends on eBay, then it goes back to the store/site inventory.

Did you mean you wanted to launch all 5 then have it take it off the total of 5 being 2 on the cart and 3 on eBay?

I want it to not take any out of my inventory unless one sells on ebay, if the inventory changes on the site then that should be reflected on ebay, that way it would prevent overselling and not take any from the site when there is no need to.

Hi if you'd like to download your won auctions from eBay check out our module here.

http://www.kosmoscentral.com/cart/ebay-orders-download-integration-p124c36pg1.html

It's the standard version and the PRO version (coming in near future) will have two way integration thus pushing your product items you choose to eBay for auction.

CycloneUK,

You can choose to have the SafetyNetWeb mod keep inventory or not. If you set it to keep inventory, it will take the item from inventory when it is listed. If it is not sold it will return it to inventory when the listing ends. If it is sold it does not return the product to inventory.

Since almost all our products are unique, I chose not to have it keep inventory so it is simultaneously on the site and on eBay. If it sells, I manually change the inventory.
