Improvements

Variation Labels of Configurable Products

In previous versions if your Variation Label was the same as one of the Item Specifics, eBay did not recognize the double information and returned an error. So M2E Pro starts to ignore this Item Specifics value to prevent such error. But in that case the Product used to be unavailable for buyers in search results by the Specific. So Sellers rate could be affected.

In new version of M2E Pro this mechanism was improved and now M2E Pro "overwrites" the Magento Attribute to the same value as an Item Specifics Label. So the Product is available in according search results.

Info

Note, this functionality is available only for Configurable Magento Products.

For  example, you set for Item Specific "Color" to use a Magento Attribute "Color D"

You product varies by this Attribute "Color D".

When you List your Product, M2E Pro will remove the duplication information and send "Color" as Item Specifics Label instead of "Color D". This replacement will be statically saved in M2E Pro. And your Product will be available in search results on eBay.

Info

Note, if you change the Attribute Label from "Color D" to "Color D2", the value will not be overwritten under Revise/Relist action. In that case you should Stop your Item and then List it again to make changes be applied.

Image downloading by HTTPs Protocol

Previously, eBay API accepted only those Product Images which were downloaded by HTTP Protocol. Otherwise, it used to return an error. But now they accepts Images which are downloaded as by HTTP Protocol as by HTTPs Protocol.

Thus new version of M2E Pro also starts supporting the Image Downloading by HTTPs Protocol.

Ability to access Child Magento Product from Variations pop-up

In new version you can easily change any data of Associated (Child) Magento Products directly from the M2E Pro Listing.

To do that you should click on Manage Variation Link link in a Listing grid and then click on a particular Variation in Magento Variation column of Manage Variations pop-up.

The list of available Amazon Categories in Description Policy is expanded in several times.

So now M2E Pro cannot support only at about 1 % from all Amazon Categories.

Ability to select Product Type for Amazon Category

In previous version for each Category only one Product Type could be selected. So the only one combination of Specifics were available. Thus if you tried to find some Specifics which were not presented, there were nothing to do with that.

In new version of M2E Pro you are able to select/change the Product Type you want to use. So you can change the Specific set any time you need.

For example, you are selling the sell phones accessories like covers, charges, etc. So you need a Specific like "Charging Time" but it is not available. You can go to General tab of Description Policy and change the Product Type, so the needed Specific will become available.

The product types are divided by 3 possible states:

  • M2E Pro propose 1 Product Type to be used in this Category, so it is shown automatically. But you can always change it.

  • M2E Pro propose several Product Types to be used in this Category

  • M2E Pro does not propose any Product Type to be used in this Category.

You can also use up to 5 recently used Product Types for current Marketplace.

Improvements

Correct Support of FBA Items

In previous versions of M2E Pro after the revise of FBA Item it became an MFN Item, so it ruins it's structure.

The latest version has an ability to correctly revise FBA Items. So the quantity, Handling Time and Restock Date data for FBA Items are ignored during revise action. However, the Price, Product Description and other setting can be revised.

List, Relist and Stop Actions are unavailable for FBA Items via M2E Pro. But you can List common Item on Amazon via M2E Pro and mark it as FBA in your Seller Central.
