ofbiz and Ebay

Hi all,

I'm new to Ofbiz and i'm trying to export products to ebay.

I got keys from Ebay and filled the in the ebayExport.properties. But
when i export some product it seems nothing happens.. I'm nog getting
any output from the export and the console log says the following:

2009-06-30 16:09:11,044 (http-0.0.0.0-8443-2) [

total:2.141,since last([ProductsExportTo...):2.141]]

It seams the request begun and ended..

But i can't find the product in the sandbox from ebay.

Someone did this before?

The thing i want to do is:

- export product(s) to Ebay.
- Do a sell on ebay.
- import the order into ofbiz.

I can't find anything regarding this except a wiki with says what to
set in the property file.

Can somebody help me along the way.. Maybe there's something wrong
with my ebay developers account?

Kind regards,

Harry

Hi Harry,

I use the ebay application to import orders from ebay and it does work pretty OK. Firstly, my experience with ebay sandbox, has been bad, i personally don't think its reliable at all and behaves randomly to API requests. For e.g. if you had order on ebay sandbox nothing would be imported, and when you changed to live server, the api worked fine.

The existing ebay code requires some updates, for eg. the ebay code assumes order ID would be returned but they are not in the getorders request, which has a time range defined to it.

I would suggest you try the code on live server. Its not the recommended way, but i could it working like on live server only. Secondly, i don;t think the export items to ebay, is a complete feature set, I tried it once, but did not work for me. You may however import orders from ebay items, which have been created using the ebay interface.

Re: ofbiz and Ebay

Rohit,
thanks for you reply.

If I switched to the production server don't I need a real sellers
account? I don't hava a real store on ebay. This is just a test for a
customer so i can't use there account.. and I can't create fake orders
on ebay prodcution can I?

And I also need to get the export to eBay to work otherwise they still
have to put stuff manually on Ebay and change the stock in ofbiz. This
tests are to see if Ofbiz is right for the job. In the futher they
also want to be notified on a sale from Ebay for example.

How did you test your integration?

Kind regards,

Harry

Re: OFBiz and EBay

I can only answer the question about test listings - yes you can put test listings on eBay live site. You can find it in Everything Else section and then Test Auctions, it will cost you so perhaps just test with $0.01 BIN, auction or hybrids to keep the costs to a minimum.

I am interested in your test results as we currently do the same thing but use a middleman to connect to eBay (www.channeladvisor.com) and just connect to Channel Advisors API to get orders etc but they charge so if you get this working OK it could be very interesting for us.

Cheers

In reply to this post by Harry van Oosten

i tested it on the live server itself. This is not recommended, but i found no alternatives at all. ebay's sandbox website did not help me all. For. eg. i wanted to create listing on sandbox.ebay.com using thier interface, but the site kept me logging out whenver i clicled the submit listing button.

I hope you have a better experience. But I guess apart from the call which submits listing to ebay, you can safely test on live server, if you have access to, there is nothing to loose, ebay won't suspend your account :-) for technical errors on your server.
