Do you sell products on eBay? If so, you may be wondering how to sync your Shopify store’s products into your eBay account. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it step-by-step.
What is Ebay Sync?
Ebay Sync is a process where Shopify merchants can automatically add products from eBay into their Shopify store. This way, buyers can easily find and purchase items from your store, without having to search through multiple websites. eBay Sync is available as a paid feature on the eBay Seller Hub, and it’s free to use for Shopify merchants who aren’t selling on eBay.
To get started with Ebay Sync, you first need to sign up for an account with eBay Seller Hub. After you’re registered, you’ll need to create a product listing on eBay. Once you’ve created the listing, copy the product information and categories onto your Shopify store.
To begin syncing your products, go to Your Shop > Settings > Ebay Sync. You’ll see a list of all the products that are currently synced into your store. To add a new product, select it from the list and enter the product information into the fields on the next page.
Once you’ve added a new product, it will show up in your shop as soon as it’s sold on eBay. You can also view recent sales data for each product in your shop by clicking on its listing on eBay Seller Hub.
What needs to be synced?
In order to sync your Shopify products into eBay, you will need to have the Shopify product SKUs and eBay product IDs in the same format.
You will also need to have the correct item titles and descriptions for each product.

How Shopify Stores Are Connected To Ebay
If you’re an ecommerce merchant with a Shopify store, chances are you’re also an eBay user. And if you’re not, now is the time to start considering it. eBay is one of the most popular online marketplaces in the world, and Shopify merchants make up a big chunk of its customer base.
EBay has been working hard to make it as easy as possible for Shopify merchants to connect their stores to the auction site. In this article, we’ll walk you through the basics of how Shopify stores are connected to eBay, and show you some of the best tips for optimizing your eBay sales.
How Shopify Stores Are Connected To Ebay
There are two main ways that Shopify stores are connected to eBay: through feeds and through sellers.
Feeds lets you add products from your store into eBay listings automatically. This is great for quickly adding products to auction-style listings, and it can save you a lot of time during bidding wars. Feeds also lets you track how many bids each product has received, which can help you determine whether or not it’s worth listing again.
Sellers lets you add eBay sellers as authorized sellers in your store. This is great for adding trusted third-party sellers to your eBay store, and it can help you increase your sales volume.
