  • I see there is a new not so good update: "Update on Syncing with eBay: [Oct 13, 2021] At this time, we are again unable to sync inventory between eBay and HipStamp. This is being caused by an external issue, specifically related to eBay. We are act…
  • As far as I know it is not yet 100% back to normal: -new folks wanting to synchronize items can't yet (I don't know this for sure) -because of the above, I assume the automagic refreshes aren't happening yet either (these clear up inconsistencies fo…
  • A ebay multi item listing (that is not grandfathered, see earlier comments of mine regarding grandfathered items missing required item specifics) that sold on Hipstamp properly reduced item count on eBay this afternoon.
  • I've had over 35 ebay items sell over the weekend that do not show here now. Most show up as closed here, a couple do not, I am not sure if that's because they were newly listed on ebay and not reflected here during the outage, or if its a "sold bu…
  • From what I saw when I renewed the certificate the procedure to load already running items was coming soon. Presumably so too will come the ability to "refresh" ones inventory, that will be a necessary thing and if I recall, it was done automagical…
  • Hi Tanya, Hmmm maybe things aren't back to normal yet on links to .UK, I don't have anything there so I can't share any experience....
  • Tania, you're on ebay UK right? My stuff on both .COM and .CA are updating accordingly on hipstamp when they sell on .COM or .CA (so far).
  • So far based on what I am seeing: -today multi item listings on eBay are correctly being reduced here when something sells there -today single items on eBay that sell there are being closed here -items that sold on eBay from September 29/30 till Oct…
  • I'm finding some items are not showing here that did sell on ebay, up till about October 5th. The search is too difficult for many of my items so I'll experiment later when I've got some fresh coffee in me.
  • I can now confirm that something that sold on eBay is properly reflected as sold here now. Now I just have to figure out what items have sold on eBay since whenever and somehow find them here to end them.....
  • I'm already having problems even looking up my items, I'm not sure how folks find anything here that isn't a country with a stamp number, certainly explains why my mixed lots seem to be hard to find for folks.....
  • Correct, your solution is still being worked on....
  • When I reopened my store, all of my ebay synchronized stuff was still there, so as long as you had synchronized inventory before you closed the store, it should still be there now (but with extras of stuff that sold on ebay that appear to have to be…
  • No they will be as full as when it was closed but there will be anything sold on ebay showing as available still.....unless you zapped all your synchronized items out before you closed the store....
  • Things I know: -previously synchronized items are still synchronized -items sold on eBay during the outage are NOT showing as sold here, they remain active. -a newly listed item on eBay does show up on Hipstamp a couple minutes later Things I need …
  • OK I just noticed that the banner is gone. I also had a message that I had to renew my ebay token (approval to update ebay stuff) which I did. It appears they're now using syncsquid to do the synchronization. There's also this message: "Do you h…
  • I think ebay understands that there is value to allowing synchronization with other sites. The value comes from the fact that it encourages folks to spend their time listing (most) everything on eBay and synchronizing instead of some on each site. …
  • When it is fixed I expect it will take time to resynchronize stuff, that is probably why ebay sold stuff still shows at this moment. I too am waiting until the formal announcement is updated.
  • I've always double checked stuff selling on hipstamp to make sure it is gone from ebay. Normally it is a quick process and easy to check/verify for me. Because I have some "grandfathered" ebay multi-items that are missing some required information,…
  • The banner has been updated: eBay Sync Issue: Due to an external issue, outside of our control, the eBay Sync feature is currently disabled. The means that items and sales are not presently syncing over. Our team is actively working on a resolution…
  • I did not notice the banner until Luree mentioned it. I did have the cross site not synched problem, I have always checked eBay to make sure they come off when they sell here. It has been very very good for a very long time. Hopefully they're able …
  • Yes I have that, it doesn't stop problems with buyers purchasing already sold stuff on ebay and vice versa though whilst the problem remains. (I don't think buyers can tell whether an item is native to Hipstamp or if it is synched when they are view…
  • I've had cross site sale problems too, however fortunately so far none double sold. One doesn't have to close ones store, just put it on "extended vacation" so nobody can see/buy anything until things are fixed up again. My store is on extended va…
  • A belated glad to see you're back in action! I saw your store(s) were closed for a bit, and was glad to see them back up and running again!!
  • Correct auctions are not synchronized.
  • Hi! eBay synchronization only brings across live BIN (buy it now) items with counts greater than ZERO. Drafts and items of zero count are not brought over. Note that if you have multi item listings that are not up to date with things like required …
  • I file my items by the last 3 digits of the item number. And then by "size". Size = #4 glassines, #10 envelopes, 6x9 envelopes, 10x13 envelopes and boxes. So item 32359702 is filed under "702" and normally would be in a 6x9 envelope. (My biggest p…
  • My personal belief is that it is sun faded* but I could be wrong. *ie exposed to sunlight, even through a window for a long period of time
  • It was doing that yesterday morning too....
  • If you contact them, I'm sure they can reinstate the store to what it was before. Having said this, if everything you have is ebay synched, once your store is reinstated it should automagically repopulate...
