If you upload products from prestashop product catalog to ebay and someone buy from ebay will the stock on prestashop be updated ?
So i have 10 in stock on prestashop and i sell one on ebay will the stock being updated to 9 then.

Currently the module does not supports any type of stock level synchronization.
We plan to add this functionality in a future module version.

Is it also possible to add other carriers like DHL Or TNT for dutch market ?

Shipping methods DHL and TNT is supported for Netherlands Marketplace as International Shipping.
You can check it on our Demo.
1) Create New Selling Profile
2) In opened window select "Netherlands" Marketplace.
3) On tab "Shipping" look and all available shipping methods.

[ysco 76]

Hello Involic,

Well your module would be interesting when it has the sync option.
If the module would have this option i would probably buy the module as it looks great but it needs the sync option.
Will wait for a future update off your module.

Best regards,

ysco..

[impie 1]

Bought this great module and installed it without any problem! However I want to know some more.

How long takes it for Marketplace Synchronization (example broadband) is done?
Minutes, hours or days?

I have a Dutch Presta Shop and a Dutch eBay (shop) account. To connect my eBay Account it isn't possible with sandbox and it don't brings me to my Dutch login but on an English eBay login page.

I use prestashop 1.4.3

Some help will be great!

[haylau 198]

This module looks tremendous - I have a question

 

All our products have shipping costs based on weight (they are generally small, made of metal so it is the weight that is the over riding factor)

 

In prestashop I add the product weight, then use the weight ranges so that prestashop calculates the shipping costs for each item

 

Is this information passed to ebay? or do I have to re-create the shipping costs somehow?

 

One more question

 

We need three shipping pricing sytsems

Domestic

International - Europe

International rest of the world

 

Is this possible?

[Involic 34]

Thank you for your interest to our module. Currently we not support shipping cost based on weight. Only flat rate shipping is supported.

Adding calculated shipping in top of our priority. In next version we will implement it.

Also we plan to extend configuration for International shipping. On current version we allow customer select country where shipping is possible for all checked shipping methods. So unfortunately currently not possible set separate shipping cost for Europe and rest of the world.

 

You can try use our demo on http://prestabay-demo.involic.com/backend/ and create new 'Selling Profile'. You will see what settings available for configure shipping.

[haylau 198]

Thanks for your response. I have had a play with he demo, and I am quite impressed. As we ship worldwide from ebay, we really need that third option. Any ideas how long before implementation?

 

In the meantime,

 

1) if I install the module, upload the products to ebay, can I still manually edit them on ebay tto put that third shipping option in - or while it be over ridden every time I sync?

 

2) We quite often have to combine purchases on ebay and send out a new invoice with ammended shipping costs - how would this work with this module?

 

3) As you don;t do shipping on weight, am i right in thinking that whatever item i add to ebay I have to manually add the shipping costs for regardless of what is in prestashop (I know I can group them sing profiles) - I suppose the question is really do I have to define a profile for each shipping cost, then add the appropriate items into that profile (Very messy) or if i leave the profile without shipping costs what happens? It looks like I have to have one profile for each shipping cost within each product tyope / shop category etc. This is hard to explain:( Say we have some m6 nuts, 6mm u-bolts, a plastic pipe clamp and a washer all in different categories (on ebay) but all at the same shipping cost. I will need to have 4 profiles (one for each product type all linked with the shipping cost). Then we have all the 8mm stuff - same categories but costs more to post so I will then need to create another four proflles for the new shipping cost - does that make sense?

Yes you possible edit your item on eBay. But on each synchronization that call revise for target item information is rewrite by PrestaBay module.

 

2) We quite often have to combine purchases on ebay and send out a new invoice with ammended shipping costs - how would this work with this module?

If you tell about combination order on eBay it supported on PrestaBay module. Created new order that has correct information about purchase.

 

3) As you don;t do shipping on weight, am i right in thinking that whatever item i add to ebay I have to manually add the shipping costs for regardless of what is in prestashop (I know I can group them sing profiles) - I suppose the question is really do I have to define a profile for each shipping cost, then add the appropriate items into that profile (Very messy) or if i leave the profile without shipping costs what happens? It looks like I have to have one profile for each shipping cost within each product tyope / shop category etc. This is hard to explain:( Say we have some m6 nuts, 6mm u-bolts, a plastic pipe clamp and a washer all in different categories (on ebay) but all at the same shipping cost. I will need to have 4 profiles (one for each product type all linked with the shipping cost). Then we have all the 8mm stuff - same categories but costs more to post so I will then need to create another four proflles for the new shipping cost - does that make sense?

 

 

PrestaBay module, same as eBay, required that you enter at least one shipping method. Without it item not listed to eBay. You need specify shipping methods in each "Selling Profile". This is not very usable so we plan to move all shipping settings to separate 'Shipping Template'.

Just more explanation about 'Selling Profile'. Each profile can be apply to any count of 'Selling List'. Each 'Selling List' work in two modes: first is product mapping, second category mapping.

 

On product mapping you select yourself what product need to send to eBay on this 'Selling List' using connected 'Selling Profile'.

 

On category mapping all product from selected category transfered to eBay. When new product put to category it also send to eBay, when product leave category it removed from eBay (such behavior disabled by default).

 

Usually you create 'Selling Profile' for each primary category on eBay where you sell items.

 

Hope we answer to your questions.

[haylau 198]

 

Yes you possible edit your item on eBay. But on each synchronization that call revise for target item information is rewrite by PrestaBay module.

 

 

 

You are being very helpful

 

We definitely need Domestic / Europe / Rest of the world shipping. I had hoped we could manually add the third tier, but if a sync will overwrite then it would not work

 

We will have to wait until you have this implemented

 

Can you give me a very rough ideas as to how long tt may be before this is implemented?

[Involic 34]

We plan to release next version near end of December. All depends the number of request from our customer.

[RuletZ 5]

We plan to release next version near end of December. All depends the number of request from our customer.

 

I hope you can add this feature soon.

 

My products have three different costs for shipping internationally, are now very limited with only a fee.

 

PrestabBay is a module that has an exceptional potential, and updates to improve it even more.

[Involic 34]

Today we publish micro update to our module. In this update we activate filter on adding product grid and add new column reference. Also we add possibility to insert multi-language variables to description template.

For set specific language into description template need to add special option with number to variable.

For example:

[product_description(1)] or [product_name(1)] or [product_name(2)]

 

Result you can see on page

http://cgi.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110094373583

 

On this example 'number' is language id. Available id of languages you can find on PrestaShop page Tool->Languages.

 

Those who are interested in this update can update their install by following our manual http://prestabay.involic.com/HowToUpgrade

[cchhaass 4]

Hi! We need also the possibility to have the shipping fee depending on the weight of the product cause it is like this that we have it set it up. Please when ou have the new version let us know. Would be great to have it soon so that we can integrate our shop with our ebay shop for christmas season!!!

[haylau 198]

Hi

 

I wonder if the guys at Involic are on holiday or just busy (Waiting on an email response )

 

In the meantime perhaps someone here can help

 

I have prestabay installed. I have now made changes to the categories in Ebay store, but prestabay is not picking up the changes. Any ideas?

[screentekdesignsltd 1]

Hi haylau

 

We also use PrestaBay, once categories on put on eBay, it does seem to take time to update PrestaBay to pick them up, but it will do, ya just have to wait a while, just keep checking back.

Thank you for waiting. You need just clear eBay account cache. You can do it on 'Configuration Information' section. After this new categories will be loaded to 'Selling Profile'

[haylau 198]

Thanks, clearing the cache has indeed worked!

[haylau 198]

A couple more thoughts

 

1) When prestabay and ebay sync does it also update prices on ebay or just qty?

2) We have a lot of selling lists, is it possible to make it so that I can "revise" all lists together (or on selection) rather than having to go into each one to do it separately?

 

Ta!

1) Currently we update only QTY. Also it's good idea to update also product price. We will think of possibility to implement it

 

2) Unfortunately latest version no support this. Currently you have possibility revise all active item in each 'Selling List' (using mass-action drop-down). Hope in next version such possibility will be available.

[haylau 198]

Is there a problem at Involic? I can't get to the website, and my prestabay module has gone awry (can't access the selling profiles)

I am facing similar issues, items are not sent to eBay.es, nor are they revised. Problem started today, yesterday all was fine.

 

A prompt reply would be appreciated.

[Involic 34]

Dear Customer,

 

Today our hosting provider restart our server and he was not able to boot itself. Unfortunately, this time get when we was off-line Currently functionality of our services restored and you can use it in full.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience. In the future we will try to avoid such situations. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us as prestabay@involic.com

 

Thank you.

[cchhaass 4]

Involic, how is your development of shipping costs depending on the weight established on PS. Thanx

[taramas 1]

Working now, thank you.

[Involic 34]

Involic, how is your development of shipping costs depending on the weight established on PS. Thanx

 

We are working on it implementation. Also we develop more correct implementation of international shipping. We plan to publish such features closer to the end of December.

[cchhaass 4]

Fantastic!!! Looking forward to test your updated module!!! Thanxxx

[haylau 198]

I know QTY is syncronised when there is a sale, and that i works in both directions. But, what will happen is I make manual adjustments to stock levels on Prestashop?

 

So

 

10 items in Prestashop, 10 in Ebay. Get a sale in Prestashop and both quantities are adjusted to 9. If I then make a manual adjustment to stock in Prestabay to say 20, is that also propagated to ebay?

Short answer 'Yes'. It also need to be update QTY on edit but only if you change qty throw PrestaShop interface.

 

In details happen next situation:

1) PrestaShop - 10 QTY, eBay - 10 QTY

2) Sale on PrestaShop: PS - 9, eBay - 10, eBay qty change - "-1"

3) Synchronization: PS - 9, eBay - 9

4) Change PS "+11". PS - 20, eBay - 9, eBay qty change - "+11"

5) Synchronization: PS - 20, eBay - 20

 

Situation when no synchronization between sale and manual update:

 

1) PrestaShop - 10 QTY, eBay - 10 QTY

2) Sale on PrestaShop: PS - 9, eBay - 10, eBay qty change - "-1"

3) Change PS "+11". PS - 20, eBay - 10, eBay qty change - "+11" + "-1" = "+10"

4) Synchronization: PS - 20, eBay - 20

[pestrong 0]

I want to this module support ps v1.2.5.

Can you do that?

I don't want to upgrade my ps.

[Involic 34]

Thank you for your interest to our module.

Unfortunately PrestaShop version 1.x and 2.x not supported and we don't have any estimation date when this support will be available.

We are looking for possibility to create very simple version of PrestaBay (that support only list product) that support PrestaShop version 1.x and 2.x but it will not be earlier that February 2012.

[LeGastronome 6]

Hi,

 

I am interested about your Prestashop eBay module.

 

But I have few questions :

I need to have same shipping cost as they are in prestashop.

I need to have "Private listing" option for add listing

 

I need to have Shipping cost Variable to add it in custom template too.

 

Thank you

Thank you for your interest to our module.

 

Unfortunately in current version of module your requirement not available. Private listings options we will adding in next version. Other think like import shipping cost from 'PrestaShop' also will be implement but currently we can't give any estimation to this possibility.

 

Can you please provide more explanation for 'shipping cost' as variables for custom template. In selling profile you possible to specify more that one shipping cost for eBay listing. What information you need to show to this variables? We possible to show all available shipping cost as table. Is is suitable for you?

[LeGastronome 6]

Hi,

 

Any news for an update ?

[Involic 34]

Hello,

 

Our developer still working on extended shipping options. When module update will be available we publish short press release there.

[msk69 18]

I need to have "Private listing" option for add listing

 

+1

[msk69 18]

Please add also selling list name to the layout when adding products..

small modification, but very helpfull.

[Involic 34]

Please add also selling list name to the layout when adding products..

small modification, but very helpfull.

 

Thank you for suggestion. We will add this modification in next version. Private listing also will be available.

If the private listing very important for your business and you want that all listing will be private we possible to provide you temporary solution until next version is released. Please contact us if you need this solution by email: prestabay@involic.com

 

For all who interested in new version we have good news. New version is almost done. We have decided to add more functionality to this release. No only improvement for shipping options. Due to this we moved several times the release date.

Also in new version we added support for interface multilanguage. In a few days we will provide tools that help our user see module in it native language.

[haylau 198]

Great news, desperately need better shipping system

 

Don't suppose you can give us a list of definite new features yet?

 

With nearly 100 selling lists we are really hoping for a "revise all selling lists" button - or selling price updated along with Qty

[Involic 34]

• As we said there will be shipping improvement (this is main part of module update).
  
• Also we implement two side synchronization between order. When you change status on PrestaShop order status for eBay order also changed. In addition, other order improvement apply.
  
• Currently we on the way to finish beta version of price synchronization (like QTY)
  
• We also continue to move toward to more features in customization eBay description template.
  
• As we said above developed version of module currently support localization.
  

 

This is not fully list of features that planed to next version. And some of this also possible to be changed.

[peeke 2]

I am finiding it difficult to make this work at all.

 

It wont accept the account for some reason. It allows me to confirm the account but it does not save the details in the accounts list. I have emailed them - but anyone else see this problem in the mean time?

 

Also - the update does not work - again anyone else have the same problem when trying to update DB?

[Involic 34]

Dear Scott,

 

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Can you please send to our email (prestabay@involic.com) access details to your store and FTP access. We will look closer to your problem and fix it.

[PrestaMonster 4]

What do the actual listings look like though? Do they take part of your site template or are they just plain text from description and pictures?

[Involic 34]

In simplest way listing get information from your PrestaShop product and send it to eBay. In advanced mode you possible to specify custom html template for description, additional parameters to title.

 

For example description may look ike

Hi, since version 1.4.1 I can't see any difference in prestashop and ebay orders when using TAB ORDERS. Is there a possibility to change for example the text color when order is imported from ebay by prestabay?

[Involic 34]

Unfortunately we can't find PrestaShop possibility to do this. We will look what can be done connected to this problem.

 

As alternative solution we can return suffix to imported customer name. So for each imported order you will see customer name like: Jon Doe eBay

[tomcom 3]

Hi,

 

when are you going to support product variants? Almost every product in our shop has variants (different colors of a product) and there is currently no way to export each variant separately to Ebay nor is it possible to give customers a chance to select one variant out of many.

This could be a solution but when we use this name to make an invoice or send information to our carriers, he always has the name 'John Doe Ebay'. Perhaps a sign after the name (* -) or a number.

 

Is there a prestashop specialist who could have solution to change the textcolor when the carriername has ebay in front?

In current version of PrestaBay we support only list such type of products as eBay variations listing. Unfortunately not all eBay marketplaces and categories allow multi-variation listings.

In the future, we plan to add possibility to list PrestaShop product with combination to eBay as different products. As a temporary solution in version 1.4 we add variable to custom description that generate all possible product combination.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Dear Bruno,

 

Thank you for your interest to our module. At the moment PrestaBay module localized to Italian and English. Documentation for module available in English.

 

Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

[danildilawar 0]

i am unable to configure it properly. As i have configure module any how & connected with ebay but the problem is this that when i send products to ebay it shows an error mention below:

Product #35 (Cupressocyparis Leylandii "Castlewellan Gold") action Send. Result:

Fail.

Errors:

You are unable to list items, because you have not confirmed whether your account is for personal or business use. Go to My eBay -> Personal Information -> Account Type to confirm your account type now so that you can continue to sell.

I am unable to configure this module. It will be very helpful for me if you give me a best solution & if u can configure this module for me.

Waiting for your quick response please. It is very urgent for me.

Thanks

[Involic 34]

To solve this problem please open you account into eBay and navigate throw menu "My eBay -> Personal Information -> Account Type". There please choose what type of account you want to use. Probably it will also required to add credit cart information.

Hi,

when prestabay will be compatible with the new version (1.5) of prestashop?

[Involic 34]

Good day,

 

We plan to release PS 1.5 compatible version more closer to the end of August.

Thank you for waiting.

[peeke 2]

Involic, prestabay will make a new customer in prestashop when a product is sold via a prestabay listing. In the customer DB the password is written full , not in md5 with the cookie-key. My question is : is it possible to let prestabay make a customer like prestashop does, so with a customer welcome email and the md5 password in the DB. If the customer gets his welcome email he already has a working password for the shop.

Hi I purchased your module a while back and have sent numerous emails asking about "best offer"

Can you tell me when this will be implemented please?

[peeke 2]

Can someone please tell me how the category mapping works.

We made a new selling list with mode "categories". When we send it to ebay, all products in this category are send, so that works.

When we make a change in the category, the mapping module should automaticly change the sellinglist. But this is not working.

In synchronisation, the "add new product to category" is enabled.

 

What do we do wrong?

Many thanks in advance

Category mapping mode working only if you use PrestaShop interface to change and add product. When you use third-party tools or import module we not possibility to handle such situation.

The usual use case for such function is following:

1) You create "Selling List" that have "Category" mode.

2) You change some product on PrestaShop using standard edit interface to put product into this category

3) PS product automatically add to connected "Selling List" and performed eBay list action

 

In case when product comes out of category we stop product on eBay and remove it from connected "Selling List".

 

Thank you for your patience.

 

P.S. We also can find this answer into your email
