Go to https://www.hippostcard.com/members/tools/ebay-sync and click enable. It can take awhile to pull things across. There was a disconnection about 7-10 days ago but they got it restored. I suspect there's a delay again overnight: new listings…

Hi, Theresa, Just a quick look at your store and a quick response. What I think I see is about 5,000 of your listings are matchbook covers in the Ephemera (Old Paper) category of your store, leaving about 700 (?) postcard listings. Your feedback su…

Looks like something got slapped and sync started updating again Saturday afternoon Sept. 9th
-
Further to the above: new eBay listings are not being pulled over in a timely manner either.

David, send support@hippostcard.com (see the message above yours in this thread) a message. Cut & paste your comment here into the message box and send it to them. Let them know about the deterioration in service and you'd like a fee review. N…

It's a common courtesy to contact the seller first by sending a message and then give them a reasonable time to respond. During and since the pandemic, the delivery time even within a country can be variable. Here in the U.S. it can take up to 14 bu…

Yes, Jeri, three years of lost sales between demise of BidStart to Stanley Gibbons Marketplace never launching commercially. We don't need boom-bust commodity cycles in collectibles, we need steady, sustainable long term growth. Staying power. Depen…

THANKS for the heads-up, Luree - because if we were relying on HipPostcard to notify us AND POST IT PROMINENTLY on the HP site we'd be out of luck. I only heard about it a day or so ago because of HipStamp seller friends like you! So, what we hav…

I've had this happen twice in the last month. One earned me a neutral on eBay, the second I just canceled here on HP. I have meticulously taken down sales here on HP over on eBay but phantom listings of these items showed up again on HP. Same eBa…

Research them using the site's search engine. That's what everyone else does. Lincoln's Home card is available in many versions.

No one will be fooled by a new skin. What a hot mess. Wrong time of year to pull this stunt. Buyers will be a bit lost too. Wasted time tonight trying to find a direct way to get to My Store, as you say George. Where did Members Area go to??? Sell…

Well, perhaps I just noticed. But, that said, before eBay's tossing categories for postcards in October, most of my eBay listings at least mapped to the correct state, country, or topic category on Hip, if no to the exact sub-category or city. Now i…

New listings sync started Friday evening Nov 12th. Updated again last evening or today. It looks like there's a daily upload of new eBay listings. Updated again just now around 5 pm CST Nov 15. ALERT! ALERT!!! Some HORRIBLE mis-categorization goi…

Technically HipCommerce is one of the best, if not the best, collectibles sites. Over the years, through name changes and so, it has been also one of the most receptive and responsive to seller needs. That's why I keep working here through the sho…
-
It could be because they're just uploaded tons of new listings created over on eBay this past month when the sync with eBay was severed. I just realized several hundred new listings arrived over here on HP from eBay overnight - ones I'd created sin…
-
Yes, they do. I've had buyers from Canada, the UK, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, South Africa, and Germany in the past few months. Most are from Canada & UK. Some are repeat buyers placing multiple item orders. It helps there are internati…

Go to HP Seller Tools - find Sync to eBay - follow the instructions to bulk edit sold on HP cards being deleted on eBay. The banner notice on this was updated on Oct 24th replacing earlier messages to do it one by one. The banner notice is on the …
-
Check the Oct. 24th announcement and the eBay sync page under Selling>Selling Tools>eBay sync. At least they've got the bulk editor up & running for taking down eBay listings sold on HP. When I ran it, I was happy to find I'd manually c…

Connie, Mark R. who owns HipCommerce - HipPostcards, HipStamps, HipComics - knows full well the sync with eBay is critical to most sellers in persuading them to list on the Hip venues so you can bet he'll be working hard to find ways to get things r…
-
Connie, - and now we receive today's (18th) announcement. It reads as if there have been both technical and "non-technical" issues - eBay running interference, I suspect now. After all, why would eBay want fresh listings there being synced over to H…
-
Rebecca Fransway - yes, I mean don't use commas in titles. It's wasted "real estate" in terms of characters and Google search & other search engines don't like the use of them.
-
Connie, there were one or two sync problems early on here on HipPostcard but these two recent disruptions are the longest & biggest (affecting many more sellers & listings because the site is much bigger now) since then that I can remember (…
-
Yes, they are there in categories. You have to use synonyms and be prepared to drill down into sub categories like the rest of us do. Go to the categories page - easily found under the Browse tab: https://www.hippostcard.com/categories I'll give …
-
Good luck! You'll have to list on HP directly to get everything categorized correctly. If you rely on the currently dysfunctional eBay to HP sync, mapping of categories is broad - and properly not even that will happen because of eBay's changes. Th…
-
Sync down again as of Oct. 13. See notice in Members Area of your store. Problem is at eBay end we're told.
-
Not exactly! HP still has to figure out how to upload existing eBay listings to HP. For now, only newly created eBay listings and edited existing listings will get uploaded to HP. BUT critically when items are sold on one site, they will be ended…
-
It hasn't been down "for weeks". It's more like a week. It broke about late Wednesday or Thursday, Sept 29 or 30th. It's unlikely to have anything directly to do with eBay postcard category changes as eBay hasn't implemented those yet. Many of u…
-
So what was the answer?
-
1) On eBay, item specifics will be the new way of categorizing. The search engine will pick up what sellers put in item specifics - and supposedly - will assist buyers find the postcards they're looking for. Keep packing your titles full of key wo…

Martin, No need to re-invent the wheel! There are CSV files using file uploaders. But for real synchronization there are developers one can hire to create APIs to sync listings, sales, and ending of listings across multiple venues. Most of the big…
