lilacworld Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Has anyone used this module before and does it do the job?http://www.prestashop-modules.de/product.php?id_product=85I really want to buy it but as I'm not too clever IT wise I dont want to then find out I need other software to make it work, I registered with Ebay Developers as it states you need to to use the module, however what do I need to do with them? any advice is most welcome, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben83 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I am also interested in buying this AddON and would really like to know how "good" it is. the ebay shop has around 500 items so it would be a killer to have it copied over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacworld Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I emailed the module developer yesterday so waiting for a bit more info, defo agree its needed if you have an ebay shop as you can just import all your products, everywhere else that does this is so expensive and it would mean leaving prestashop which I didnt want to dofingers crossed someone on here can offer advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben83 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 we got the module today,integrated it, and it runs - sort of - it imported ebay shop categories and a few items and than stops. not sure whats up, waiting on developer to replay. Maybe it has to do with the ebay shop and something in there it has problems to parse...magento ebay module? couldn't find, any link? (PM) ty!

Ben83 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 OK its working, here is a quick summary:its working as described, it imports ebay shop items that have changed since the first time you used the Module (it makes a timestamp that you can manipulate, i did that and imported around 1200 items in the shop) - it works by invoking a chronjob through a php script that you just visit with a browser or invoke through shell.+ it works+ so far so good+ the module and scripts are very readable, so if you want to change anything and tweak you certainly can if you're into php and api stuff.- no manual, but its pretty streight forward until something is not working- developer/guy who is selling is communicating in short sentences, you're pretty much on your own, but i don't think for a 99$/€ pricetag you can expect full 24/7 premium support in addition.If you need support getting the script to work after buying it, you can contact me via PM and we can get in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkloveshy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 HiI bought the ebay module for 1.2.4 and it works with 1.3.7. What I really need to do is just pickup the specific category from ebay for our shorts. As you will see we sell other items but I really only want to show shortsPlease take a look and advise how we can do this. I would be most gratefulhttp://www.shorts4u.com/shop/modules/modebayauctions/ebayauctions.phpmany thanksPinkloveshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got tons of Products and it would be cool if we could just automaticly use a part of the Description for the Short Description / Teaser.- When Syncing Products always get into the home category even though Category Import is activate.thanks,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
