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 UPS WorldShip®.

1. Run ShipGear Exchange.
   Select Start > Programs > ShipGear > Exchange. You can also double-click the ShipGear shortcut on your desktop. The ShipGear icon (with a red dot in the center) displays in your system tray as ShipGear initializes.
   
   
   
   

2. ShipGear Exchange opens. If you are running ShipGear for the first time, the ShipGear Email Notification Wizard pops up. The wizard helps you to configure how email is sent using ShipGear eNotify or with Quantum View Notify in UPS WorldShip®. To use eNotify, follow the directions on each screen, entering the requested information into each field and clicking Next until you reach the end.

4. Click the My Companies button at the left of the ShipGear Exchange Window.

7. The eBay Sign In page is launched in your Internet browser. Your eBay ID may already be filled in for you. If not, enter it in the field provided. Enter your Password and click the Sign In button.
   
   
   
    
   
   

8. On the ShipGear Authorization page, review the Consent Agreement. Click I Agree to allow ShipGear access to your eBay account information.

10. Click the Retrieve Token button and then click OK.
    
    
    
     

11. Direct Import Settings
    You can access your eBay transactions using one of these methods :
    
    a)  Import by Item ID or Sales Record #  : Item ID represents the eBay Item ID and the Sales Record # represents the Selling Manager Sales Record Number.
    ShipGear will look 30 days in the past to find the transaction when using Item ID or Sales Record #.
    Note : If you use the Sales Record # method, it is required that you have an eBay store.
    
    b)  Browse a list of your eBay transactions
    
    Select the field you would like to use for the WorldShip keyed import setting.
    
    Note: For details about browsing your eBay transactions, see Process Shipments.
    
    
    
    
    
    

12. Configure Browser Download Settings :
    
    To browse transactions using the “?” in the WorldShip import key, ShipGear must first download your eBay transactions. This setting defines when that should happen.
    
    On Browse : Download occurs the 1^st time a “?” is entered into the WorldShip Keyed Import dialog.
    
    On Startup : Download occurs when ShipGear is launched.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

     

    

     

13. Configure Additional Browser Settings :
    
    When browsing, you can control which transactions are downloaded based on the date the item(s) sold or when the item was modified.
    Note : Transaction retrieval times may increase with larger date ranges.
    
    Retrieve transactions :
    
    In Past : Select how far back ShipGear should browse for transactions by using the up/down arrows to choose the number of days.
    
    From : Specify a date range to search for past transactions by selecting a start and end date.
    
    Use : Select whether to use the sale date or the modified date when downloading your transactions.
    
    
    
    
    
    

14. Click Finish.
