Firstly, I would like to thank the Zen Cart members who have supported my contributions both monetarily and non-monetarily (a simple thank you goes a long way too).
I have currently released editions of the Google Base Feeder based on the original script by Andrew Berezin. I have adapted this script to work with websites such as ePier.com (not currently released publicly) and I am now planning a public release for eBay.
This script will be similar to the GBF. It will be completely admin configurable and it will create a bulk file with values pulled directly from your database. The key differences will be that the file will be comma delimited to match eBay's Turbo Lister 2.0 import specifications, it will have more features for controlling what is exported, and it will export the descriptions in HTML.
Once you have created the CSV file, you will import it using Turbo Lister where you can select the appropriate category, store category, and shipping options.
Some of the additional features from the GBF will be:
I will begin writing this contribution before the end of this week and it should be ready sometime next week. I will be away from Friday to Monday and will not be able to reply to PM's or posts until Tuesday. I thank those in advance who are willing to provide monetary support for the writing of this contribution.
- Price markups
- Since eBay fees are siginificantly higher than to sell in your own store, you can enter a percentage to markup the price by X amount.
- Additional exporting limitations
- The GBF currently allows limitations by product category, and max number of items. I plan to allow limiting inclusion by price as well so that items under/over X amount of dollars are not included in the bulk file.
Please post any other ideas or features that should be implemented such as further methods for limiting what is included in the bulk file.
