The behavior of eBay Auctions are configured in the eBay Provider in the Administration module. For general information on Order Management providers, see Order Management Providers.
In addition to Order Management settings, the eBay Provider includes a link to eBay, where you link your eBay account with Order Management. This creates a security token and authorizes Order Management to share your seller information with eBay. The token is valid for 1 year, so you must repeat this process annually. To link your eBay account to Order Management, follow these steps:
- In the Settings accordion menu, select Providers. The Provider Manager appears.
- Click eBay under the list of Providers.
- Click the Company Level link under eBay Provider Profiles. The Global Object Configuration page opens.
- Click Click to attach an eBay account. This opens an eBay registration page.
- Log in using your eBay account credentials.
- Complete any additional security questions to proceed.
- Read and agree to the eBay terms.
- You are returned to the Global Object Configuration dialog. Your eBay username, token expiration date, and account status appear.
- Repeat this process prior to the token expiration date.
Default eBay settings are configured at the Catalog, Site or Company level. Specific settings can be configured at the Item or Category level via the corresponding Item or Category Details dialog. For information on the eBay Provider settings at the Item and Category levels, see Configuring Auction Settings via Item-Level and Category-Level Providers.
To configure the eBay Provider settings at the Catalog, Site, or Company level, follow these steps:
- In the Settings accordion menu, select Providers. The Provider Manager appears.
- Click eBay under the list of Providers.
- Select a Catalog from the Catalog drop-down list, select a Site from the Site drop-down list, or click the Company Level link under eBay Provider Profiles. If you have created a custom Profile, you can select it instead. The Object Configuration dialog for the selected level or Profile appears.
- To add a setting to the visible form, select it from the drop-down list and click Add Individual Setting.
- In the Data column, specify a value for each desired setting.
- Click Update to save the changes, click Cancel to close the dialog without saving and return to the Provider Manager page, or click Clear Configuration to clear all settings in the dialog.
