The Challenge
--------------------
When items are listed on to eBay, M2EPro knows about ALL the attributes & values for that listing, such as the domestic shipping cost or the sellers eBay Store category number and even the listing type.
However the vast majority of these values that a seller would need access to create advanced eBay listing templates are not available using the keyword picker tool on a listing template in M2E Pro.
What we are Suggesting:
--------------------
We would like specific system keywords available that are processed via M2E Pro when an item is listed and are then available in the listing.
Examples
--------------------
An excellent example would be #m2epro_dom_ship_1_value#, #m2epro_dom_ship_1_extra_value# & #m2epro_dom_ship_1_extra_method#
With keywords:
This would allow the seller to say “Our domestic shipping is £#m2epro_dom_ship_1_value# and each additional item is just £#m2epro_dom_ship_1_extra_value# more and we’ll ship your order using #m2epro_dom_ship_1_extra_method#”
With keywords in a listing:
“Our domestic shipping is £2.99 and each additional item is just £0.99 more and we’ll ship your order using Express Delivery (Parcelforce 24)”
Another example would be #m2epro_store_category_id1#
This would then allow a eBay seller to make a link to directly promote similar products in their eBay shop, crucially in the same category that the item the customer is viewing because the listing has this value available.
Such a link would look like this:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/xsstockonline/_i.html?_fsub=#m2epro_store_category_id1#
Live example:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/xsstockonline/_i.html?_fsub=283768011Who would this help?
--------------------
All eBay sellers that use a custom listing template via M2E Pro.
Such keywords are available in other tools, such as ChannelAdvisor, eSellerPro, StoreFeeder, SellerExpress, Linnworks, ChannelGrabber etc... and would aid their usage of M2EPro (some would not be able to use M2EPro without these available).
Suggested Keywo...
These would be available to be parsed in any eBay template kept in M2E Pro or set in:
"Sell on eBay > Configuration > Policies > Description Policy > Custom Description"
A keyword picker similar to the "Product Attribute" would be the easiest way of a user selecting these values.
