# eBay listings straight from the PIM: video of the eBay integration
The eBay integration in PIM for Shopware, shown entirely in test mode: nothing is sent to eBay during the whole video.

## What the video shows
- In test mode nothing goes to eBay, everything runs in your own shop.
- For live selling you add App ID, Cert ID and refresh token.
- The connection test works in test mode too.
- You choose which products go to eBay by source, here one manufacturer.
- The check shows straight away how many products are included.
- If you like, the PIM matches the competition every hour, never below your minimum price.
- Every shop category gets an eBay category.
- Suggestions from the eBay category tree, with match score.
- Mapped, subcategories inherit the mapping.
- A missing required item specific simply gets a fixed value.
- The AI maps fixed value lists to your shop values.
- A dedicated eBay title, written by the AI.
- Title and description just for eBay, the shop keeps its texts.
- Transfer all products to eBay with one click.
- All listings are live, only simulated in test mode.
- A test order comes in just like one from eBay.
- It is created straight away as a Shopware order numbered EB-.
- The order overview shows the eBay logo.
- Customer messages from eBay land right in the PIM.
- The AI drafts a suggested reply.
- Send and done, the reply goes to eBay.

## In numbers
- 0 % transaction fees: a fixed monthly price instead of a revenue share
- Unlimited product uploads, no cap on the number of listings
- 7 eBay sites (de, at, fr, it, es, nl, be), each with its own account in the PIM
- Hourly repricing: lowest offer, Buy Box or match, never below your minimum price

## Connect eBay, test it first
Before a product goes live on eBay, you want to see how categories, texts and orders work together. That is exactly what the video shows, entirely in test mode: the marketplace is simulated in your own shop, nothing is sent to eBay and you do not need an eBay account. The listings in the video are therefore only live in the simulation.
As an example, the garden furniture from the manufacturer Holmvik goes to eBay. The video covers test mode and connection, selection by source, the competitive price rule, categories and item specifics, an eBay title written by AI and the transfer. It then plays through a test order and a customer message with an AI reply suggestion.

## Features in detail

### Separate accounts per eBay site
For ebay.de, .at, .fr, .it, .es, .nl and .be you add a separate account each, with its own prices, its own selection and its own number range.

### Hourly repricing
If you like, the PIM matches the competition on eBay every hour: lowest offer, Buy Box or match. It never goes below your minimum price.

### Categories and item specifics in the PIM
Every shop category gets an eBay category, with suggestions from the eBay category tree. The AI maps fixed value lists to your shop values, and missing required item specifics get a fixed value.

### Customer messages with AI
Messages from eBay buyers land right in the PIM. The AI drafts a reply, you check it and send it to eBay.

## Tips for everyday use
- Play everything through in test mode first, then add App ID, Cert ID and refresh token for live selling.
- Set the minimum price before you switch on repricing: it is the floor the PIM never goes below on eBay.
- Subcategories inherit the mapping. Map the top shop categories first and only adjust the exceptions.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an eBay account for test mode?**
No. Test mode simulates eBay in your own shop. Upload, sync and test order run as if real, but nothing is sent to eBay. The PIM fills missing credentials with sample values.

**How often does the PIM match the competition?**
Every hour once you switch on the price rule. You choose lowest offer, Buy Box or match, and the PIM never goes below your minimum price.

**Do the eBay titles change my shop?**
No. Title and description for eBay live in a separate marketplace language. The shop keeps its texts.
