eBay judges you on the orders you cannot ship. Every eBay listing and variation draws on the same stock level as your other channels. A change reaches eBay without a visit to Seller Hub.
| Variation | SKU | Price | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| M / Navy | LS-M-NVY | £32.00 | 3 |
| L / Navy | LS-L-NVY | £32.00 | 6 |
| M / Sand | LS-M-SND | £29.00 | 2 |
Products are matched on SKU. So one product has one number, wherever it is listed.
An eBay listing and the same product on Amazon or Etsy share one stock level and one price. Not two records that drift apart.
Each variation comes in as its own product, with its own SKU, quantity and price. A size that sells out elsewhere is updated on eBay too.
A sale on another channel lowers the shared stock, and eBay gets the new number. A sale on eBay lowers it on every other channel. eBay has already counted its own.
Each variation is its own product. A size that sells out on one channel sells out on all of them.
Changes are gathered and revised in bulk, not listing by listing. That is the point of doing it here rather than in Seller Hub.
A sale on another channel, a stock file or Shopify sync, or a price you approve in Smart Pricing.
Every eBay listing or variation whose price or quantity is now different is marked as waiting.
A frequent sweep gathers everything waiting. It revises it with eBay in one batch, not one listing at a time.
We follow each batch to its result and keep it against the listing it was about.
For listings that already exist.
These travel only when you publish or revise a listing. See Listings.
One place holds the stock and the price. eBay follows it, like your other channels.
Your hub, Shopify, Etsy or a file feed can own stock and price. eBay gets the number from there.
Set it in Source of Truth.
eBay gives us no way to follow its stock or price changes. So eBay cannot own either number.
Still true: a sale on eBay lowers the stock on every other channel.
You do not find out weeks later from a stale price.
A change eBay rejects comes back with eBay’s own reason, kept against its listing.
If a listing has no price anywhere, it is held back by name. We do not send eBay a zero. It is tried again on the next sweep.
Once a batch is sent, eBay processes it on its side. Allow a short while before the new number shows on eBay.
What is sent, how fast, and what happens when eBay says no.
Connect eBay, Amazon, Shopify and Etsy in one place.
