eBay Seller Account Setup

The first time you run ShipGear you'll perform a few basic setup steps to get things running. In the following process, you will connect ShipGear to your eBay Seller Account and then link up with and then link up with UPS WorldShip®, USPS (Endicia Pro or DAZzle) and/or FedEx Ship Manager®.

1. Run ShipGear Exchange : Start > Programs > ShipGear Client > Exchange

2. Shipment Email Notification Wizard

3. Carrier Selection

1. Run ShipGear Exchange : Start > Programs > ShipGear Client > Exchange

You can also double-click the ShipGear Exchange shortcut on your desktop.

The ShipGear icon (with a red dot in the center) displays in your system tray as ShipGear initializes :     

2. Shipment Email Notification Wizard

eNotify is a ShipGear module that automatically generates shipment notification, update, and cancellation emails for your customers when you save or change shipments in the carrier system. Emails are generated from templates that you can customize with data from fields in UPS WorldShip or eBay.

The ShipGear Email Notification Wizard that runs during initial setup will help you to configure eNotify. You can go back and access this setup wizard at any time from Modules > ShipGear eNotify Premium > Configure.

For more information about the Email Notification Wizard, see eNotify Setup.

3. Carrier Selection

In the Setup Wizard, you can register carriers to enable the retrieval of estimated delivery times and tracking information for eNotify and the Dashboard. Click the check box next to the carrier and click Next to proceed.

The Reset button clears the current carrier registration information and allows you to re-enter it.
