Listing Operations

Sync Listings

SUPPORTED

The Sync operation syncs any changes that have been made to listings since the last time sync was performed. This is used primarily to update Quantity data and List Price data.

Publish Listings

NOT SUPPORTED

Availability
Flxpoint does plan on building out the ability to create new listings on eBay, but this function is not currently available. We recommend using a different method of creating listings on your eBay store.

To learn more about creating listings, please check here.

The template file is provided here.

Link Listings

SUPPORTED

The Link Listings operation allows Flxpoint to connect Flxpoint listings to your existing eBay products, as long as the SKU or UPC matches between the two systems. This preserves your current product data, and allows updates without explicitly publishing listings.

Deleting Products
If you delete a product on your store without using Flxpoint, the item will still be shown as "Linked" inside of Flxpoint until the next listing sync; in which case, the listing will be changed to a "Broken Link" status.

You will need to unlink and relink the items in your Listings section to fix this.

Order Operations

Shipping Mappings

REQUIRED

This ensures orders are being imported from eBay and mapped to a central shipping policy in Flxpoint. You will need to provide the Shipping Text associated with the Default Shipping Services that is currently offered on your eBay account.

To determine what to populate in your Flxpoint Channel Shipping Text, go into eBay and go to Business Policies > Create Policy (or Edit) > Shipping > Services section:

The text displayed in the eBay Services section, not including the parentheses, will need to be entered into Flxpoint without spaces, as shown below.

Get Orders

SUPPORTED

Limitations
You must configure your Shipping Mappings prior to running Get Orders for orders to import properly.

The Get orders operation retrieves any new orders from eBay that have not yet been imported, and it will send back Acknowledgements for those orders.

Sync Orders

SUPPORTED

The Sync order operation syncs any changes that have been made to order(s) since the last time the sync was performed. The most common use of this operation is to update tracking information to an existing order.
