Thanks

ajentp,

We don't currently have plans for that.  You are likely able to export information from SuperManager to list an ebay auction using TurboLister or another application.  Do you use something like that currently to create eBay listings?  If so, does it offer a csv import to import data?  If so, what is that format?

Thanks,
David

David,

We do not use super manager data for Ebay listing. We are currently using auctivia for all e-bay listing's need.

However we are looking for processing orders from eBay through SM. Currently, we are creating orders in SM manually. However it takes tremendous amount of our  resources. I am looking for some thing which enable us to download orders directly from E-bay.

Any plan for it?

Thanks

ajentp,

Do you have any text format or xml format that you can download from eBay?  If so, we may be able to help you write an import format.

Thanks,
David

Hi,

I am also interested in uploading eBay sales to SuperManager.

I do have an eBay csv file that we can download containing sales details (that I can provide to you if you are still looking for this info).

Thanks!

[David Johns]

Yes, please send me the csv file.  I'll see if there's a way to craft an import format using the generic text file import methods.

Thanks,
David

ajentp,

I've created an import format for you to import eBay orders.  You'll find it attached.  Here's what you need to do to use it:

• Update to beta 1.5.5.5, since some features had to be added to accommodate this
• Save the attached file, "eBay.smx", to your computer
• In SuperManager, go to "View", "Program Settings..." and press the "Import..." button
• When prompted, choose the "eBay.smx" file you saved to your computer

To use the import, just go to "File", "Import", "eBay" and choose the file to import.

I would recommend creating a new store in your store settings for importing the eBay orders.  ("View", "Store Settings" on the "Stores" tab) You could set the type to "Other" since SuperManager doesn't support direct integration with eBay at this time.  Also, since orders are imported to the first store in your store settings, you will need to make this the first store on your list of stores by selecting it and pressing the "Move Up" button until it is the first one on the list.

Also, do you mind explaining how you get this file from eBay so other users can take advantage of this method for importing eBay orders?

Hi David,

I know that Ajentp started this thread, but I was the one who provided you with the file (so I'll take the liberty to provide information on where the instructions are for downloading Files from eBay).

You need to have either Selling Manager OR Selling Manager Pro added onto your eBay account.  Once you have this, the method for download is detailed on this ebay Page:

@David - we most likely will not install and begin using this feature until the new year (after Holiday Sales).   Just one quick question, I know there were some blank rows in the Raw Sales file, along with some Total lines.    Will we need to delete any of these rows prior to upload?  Or, can we upload as is?

Thanks!
Jeff

Jeff,

Sorry for the confusion.  Thanks for the instructions on how to get this export.

One of the features I had to add in the beta was the ability to skip footer rows.  The export format attached will skip the first two and last three rows of the file so you should be able to import as-is.

Thanks!
David
