Sync of eBay and Etsy inventory

Shari Wheeler avatar

I know it is not possible now, but are there any future plans to allow an option to sync listings and inventories between eBay stores and Etsy stores.

It would be wonderful to be able to list an item on both sites and have the inventory totals sync so that a sale in one store would adjust the inventory in both stores.

Just curious.

Thanks,

Shari

That would be like expecting Target to tell you what Walmart has in stock.

If that were to ever happen it wouldn't be Etsy or Ebay doing it, it would have to be third party software.

I seriously doubt this will ever happen--unless eBay buys etsy like they did PayPal

{{that would be my worst nightmare! Either turn this into a "little eBay" or shut it down!}}

Hi everyone! I work for StitchLabs.com, which integrates with many different shopping carts and ecommerce solutions. While we don't currently integrate with eBay, we do integrate with Etsy, and many other online and offline channels.

We sync inventory level across all these channels. If you signup for just one integration partner, our service is free.

Please check us out and let me know your feedback. You can watch a video of how it all works, here: youtu.be/C7i9GYdStB8

For many, many years, we sold books through venues that allowed 3rd party sellers. This included Amaon, eBay, Alibris, Biblio, ABEbooks, GEMM, and many others. Most of that time, I subscribed to the services of FillZ who specialize in media (books, CDs, VHS, DVD, etc.) inventory management across all these venues, and it works flawlessly.

When something sold at Amazon, they would electronically pick up that sale, and delete that item, or reduce it's quantity on all other venues. We still got our "Sold - Ship Now" message. Nothing else was affected.

The technology for this has existed for many years, so if StitchLabs isn't able to do that, it's only a matter of time before they, or someone else can. And when they do, I'm jumping on board.
