smoking81 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 hello all! Maybe my question is stupid, but what is the easiest way to synchronize an e-commerce shop with an ebay shop (in the sense that if an item is sold in ebay, the stock in the php based e-commerce gets updated accordingly, and vice-versa)? Are there any extensions of existing products such as Magento which do this? Or otherwise the only possibility is using the ebay API? Can you give me some hints please? Thank you very much! Bye.

JonnoTheDev Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yes, you are looking at their API for this. I'm not sure if there are any event triggers in Ebay where a user buys an item and it will poll your website, however the API will provide an interface to request information from your items listed on ebay. I guess you would set this up as a daily routine. i.e Request data for items listed on Ebay If item is sold, update quantity value in local database for matched product This is certainly not going to be a five minute install some script job. You are better getting involved in the Ebay developers community.
