      Connect eBay to Zenventory

      Prerequisites:

      • Must have Selling Manager or Selling Manager Pro to enable access to eBay's Custom Label (SKU) field for listings
      • Before they can sync to Zenventory, all eBay products must have a unique SKU assigned.  If some of your products are missing a Custom Label (SKU) in eBay, you can add them using these steps.  Inventory synchronization will fail for any item missing a Custom Label (SKU) in eBay.
