Hi H Bailey, you’re most welcome and thank you for reading this article too. π After finding your comment, I had a brief discussion with the dev and support team. The automatic upload feature that you want is being fixed and the update will be released in the coming week. In the meantime, our support team will offer you a free feed setup where your eBay feed will be created and uploaded to the merchant. And if you request the support team, they will aslo update the latest plugin on your site after it is released.
Hi Raghab, thanks for the article. I’m currently looking for a feature that allows products to be pushed to my Ebay store but I’ve been told that this not currently possible. It is possible to generate a feed – but that’s the end of the story. In my experience downloading the CSV feed didn’t provide any of the fields required to then upload the file to Ebay file exchange, so wasn’t much use. This is why I want the option of pushing it through from my site – so I can miss out the File Exchange step.
Do you have any advice? Thanks.
