eBay

Price and stock on every eBay listing have to match the record.

eBay is a listing surface. The SKU may already be selling in the store and on other marketplaces. The eBay listing still carries its own price and its own quantity, and those two have to match the one record Unison holds across channels.

What Unison reads

The listing, the quantity on it, and what eBay paid out.

A listing can sell down over a weekend while the store still shows yesterday's stock. Unison reads eBay onto the same record as the rest of the catalog, so that gap is visible before anyone opens a second tab.

Orders that closed on eBay, so last month is revenue and the change for this marketplace, in seconds.
Catalog of the live listings, price included, matched to the SKU everywhere else.
Inventory sitting on each listing, set against on-hand stock and days of cover.
Payouts eBay settled, so the month on this channel has a money line of its own.

What a write looks like

The listing updates. The record stays the source.

Writes to eBay are how a listing catches up: a missing SKU goes live, a price or a quantity moves inside the band, or the listing copy is rewritten for eBay.

Launch

A SKU eBay is missing.

If the record already has the product and eBay has no listing for it, the launch creates that listing with price and stock from the record. Listing, price, and inventory go out as one action, and you see eBay accept it.

Price and stock

The listing matches, inside the band.

A sold-down quantity or a stale price is a write back to the listing, kept inside the band. eBay's number and the store's number are meant to meet on the same SKU after that write.

Listing

Rewritten for eBay.

The title and the description can be rewritten for this marketplace, from the brand's own catalog. The product stays one row. The listing reads the way eBay shows it.

Guardrails

Publish, wait, or block.

Inside the band, a listing change can publish. If someone should see the new title or the new price first, it can wait. A price or a stock move that leaves the band is blocked, and the live listing stays as it was.

Last month and a launch

The product shows this example. eBay is $6,210, up 11.0%.

The product film shows an example month. Ask for last month and eBay answers on its own line: revenue and the change, in seconds, with every other marketplace on the same pass. In that example eBay is $6,210, up 11.0%.

The charts behind the line come from eBay's orders, catalog, inventory, and payouts. Restock and revenue forecasts use those orders too, with days of cover, so a listing that is moving can be refilled from the same record that holds the store.

When the product launches the Aurora Candle, eBay receives it if that SKU is missing there: the listing, the price, and the stock the record already has. A question about why the line moved is answered from the brand's own orders, ads, and catalog.

What the call asks

Whether eBay is live, who can sign in, and whether the channel has a clean API.

eBay enters the scope the same way every listing surface does. We need the channel named, the login located, and a straight answer on the connection before price and stock are allowed to write.

Which channels are live

Is eBay selling today, and which other channels are live beside it. Amazon, Walmart, Faire, Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, TikTok Shop, and anything else already taking orders. A channel you plan to open is part of the same list.

Who holds the login

Who can open the eBay seller account today. Listings, price, and quantity all hang on that login. If a teammate, a virtual assistant, or an outside operator holds it, we want that named on the call.

Whether it has a clean API

We ask whether eBay has a clean API. Orders, catalog, inventory, payouts, and the writes for listings, price, and stock depend on that answer. The question names the channel and stops there.

Publish, wait, and block

Which listing writes may publish on their own, which wait for a person, and which are blocked outside the band. Price and stock on eBay are the two that most often need a rule before the first write.

The other marketplaces

eBay is one listing surface on a wider record.

Price and stock here have to match the same row the store and the other marketplaces use. How that row is built is on the platform.

The listing and the record

Bring one eBay listing and the login that owns it.

We'll ask which channels are live, who holds the eBay login, and whether the channel has a clean API. If price or stock on that listing has pulled away from the record, that is the first write to talk through.
