    I never considered eBay for print on demand because it's so price oriented. In PoD we need to mark up prices to get any profit. The visibility there is easier to achieve than on Etsy or other selling platforms, so I think it's worth a shot.

    I tried selling on ebay about a year ago and my products just sat. But about 10 years ago I sold my stuff pretty fast depending on what it was the only thing was false buyers for my wigs. To discourage me from relisting them and I realized it was the larger wig company's doing this.

    The transfer of products from Printify to eBay is so slow. If I do it in the evening, sometimes it doesn’t’t show up until the next day. Then you have to select the features & specifications & promote the listing. That part is not that big a deal. It’s the slow transfer. I often forget that I initiated it. I might pay more attention to it going forward. Sales on Etsy have slowed to a crawl & listing on Etsy costs money.

    I hope eBay offers better customer service to sellers than a few years. It was really bad. Perhaps they have improved. But ebay offers completely different customer base than other platforms . That is a plus.

    please solve a very serious problem: the communication and connection between the two platforms, which is terrible.
    It takes more than 24 hours for an eBay order to appear on Printify or not at all until I contact tech support, during which time most customers want a refund due to the delay. It's terribly frustrating...

    • @Printify
      @Printify  9 місяців тому

      Hi there!
      This sounds frustrating and we're sorry this issue is affecting you. This rarely happens but unfortunately a bug like this can happen between both platforms sometimes .
      To fix it, reach out to our merchant support and inform them about an 'ebay import delay bug', this will flag our IT team to also take a look. It would also be advisable to let eBay support know so they're aware of the bug on their end as well. Hopefully we can get this resolved for you in no time!

    • @traveloasis8389
      @traveloasis8389 9 місяців тому

      In my experience, may have to wait until the next day but not 24 hrs. I do get frustrated with the slow transfer time of just the listing. Usually happens by the next day. Sometimes I even forgot that I sent the listing & never finished the process once it arrived. Etsy transfer of listings takes a fraction of the time. I wish they would fix that.

    The Printify connector with eBay does not allow replacement of the generic product variant photos with custom ones. You can add more photos on the eBay side in the default photos section, but you can't replace the Printify variant photos. The end result is any listing with a number of variants has a bunch of generic looking photos. This is a pretty big problem.

    I just created an Ebay store and connected it to Printify. I published a couple listings, but Ebay won’t let me edit the listings (to add important details) I keep getting an error message that says "Items that are managed by Inventory do not allow these operations- Edit item SKU, Edit Variation SKU, Add/Delete Variations, Add/Delete Variation Pictures".
    Is this an issue with Printify or on EBay’s end?

      Hi there!
      If you've encountered a technical error, try deselecting any out of stock product variants, then retry publishing.Our eBay integration depends largely on what eBay is doing, so when it comes to publishing or editing a listing, we recommend retrying publishing later in case eBay’s server is experiencing any technical issues.If you need more help, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.

      @@Printify It's better to use one platform to like Printify for all this Editing and only publish to eBay. And if you can do some negotiation about Selling limits. Because every t-shirt that you do with 5 sizes * 7 colors = 35 products and it can cost about - 560$ but this $ is virtual! They LIMITS you BEFORE you sell. Not after! So you got 100 shirts * 35 variants (size + color) and eBay count it's for 3,500 products that you can sell for about - 56,000$ They limits you not for you sell but for what you might sell... WTF!
