View source for How are eBay shipping costs imported?

== Summary ==
If you sell on eBay and have your eBay sales automatically created in Platinum {{SO}} Processing, shipping costs of the sale are imported as a separate line in your order.

{{Tip|title=Tip|text=&nbsp;{{SalesContact}} to set up the eBay link into your system.}}

== More Information ==
When an eBay sale is imported into your system, Platinum adds an order item line containing the order shipping costs. The stock code of the line identifies which shipping option the buyer chose, and can be one of the following:

=== What if I want to use my own stock codes? ===
You can use your own stock codes instead of the above if you prefer. For example, if you would like all sales with shipping option {{DataValue|Royal Mail 1st Class Standard}} to come in to an order with stock code {{DataValue|ZPOST001}}:

Go to {{Menu|Stock Control|Add or Edit Stock Codes}}.
# [[Do I have to remember all these Stock Codes?|Find your stock code]] {{DataValue|ZPOST001}}.
# Go to the {{Tab|Aliases}} tab.
# In the {{DataPrompt|Alias}} field enter {{DataValue|~EBCAR000000301}}.
# Click {{Button|Add}}.
# Click {{Button|Done}}.

Future orders with that shipping option will now use your stock code.  {{Warning|iconsize=small|text=This is only intended for the codes stated above for carriage. It will not work for any other items listed on your eBay account, to assign stock codes to your eBay Listings please click [[How do I Assign Stock Codes to my eBay Listings?|here]] and follow the instructions.}}
