eBay
A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.

An operational system wants complete data: an address that is right, a product that exists, and clarity on exactly what goes out the door.

Common questions
Can you connect eBay to Google Merchant Center?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of eBay and Google Merchant Center, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does Google Merchant Center need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?
Google Merchant Center needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.
Can I choose the carrier in Google Merchant Center myself?
Yes. Which carrier and shipping method Google Merchant Center uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.
Do I still have to log into eBay once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the eBay seller account arrives in Google Merchant Center by itself. You only open eBay when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting eBay and Google Merchant Center cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does eBay sync with Google Merchant Center?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Does the connector also pick up eBay returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on eBay, so Google Merchant Center does not lag behind what actually sold.
What if eBay or Google Merchant Center is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
