ERP and EBay?

[Former Member]

How can you integrate ERP with EBay?

We are looking to sell something that have been sitting around for awhile to generate another form of cash.

Any and all information is appreciated.

E-Commerce: Selling Over eBay

Creation and management of product listings on eBay leverages the e-commerce order management and fulfillment capabilities of the SAP ERP application by easily tying existing tax, pricing, shipping, and payment configurations to post-auction processing. Enhancements in 2005: * You can use the business-to-consumer (B2C) checkout instead of the eBay checkout. With the B2C checkout, you can maximize cross-selling and up-selling opportunities by leveraging B2C functionality, determine tax and shipping using the elaborate methodologies available through condition techniques in SAP ERP 6.0. * E-mail notification scenario: winner notification to keep the auction winner updated with the status of the auction and of his or her order * Monitoring through features such as single-activity trace (SAT), heartbeat, and logging * Creation and publishing of multiple-item auctions and manual retraction of winners

Business Benefit

E-Commerce selling over eBay offers organizations integration of their existing SAP ERP applications with the worldu2019s largest online marketplace to create and manage listings on eBay. The new feature helps: - Increase e-commerce revenues - Streamline and leverage existing order management and fulfillment capabilities

Hi,

I think you need to first talk with E Bay guys whether they will accept such kind of set up.I am assuming you want to automate this Process. ( No Manual order Placing )

If E bay is okay then ... you may have to enter agreement. ( Terms and Conditions )

1) You need to build a Interface from ERP to E Bay ( This can only happen if E Bay is ready to accept the file ( Which will Contain details of Products which you want to see etc ) Your development team will have idea on this

2) Then you also need to decide upon aspects like Frequency and also payment path

3) Once every thing is set then you can just post the Products from your ERP then it will be passed to E Bay via Interface. Also you can get the status of your product daily or weekly ......

hope this information helps
