Improvements

Ability to rename the Variation Option labels without further errors from eBay Trading API

Previously if any Variation Option label of your Magento Product was changed, this Item cannot be properly updated on eBay because of the errors returned. These errors were caused by the restrictions of eBay system which do not allow to update all the data for the Items which have sales, etc.

The 1.1.0 version includes a mechanism which detects such changes and modifies the data which is sent to eBay to prevent further errors. This functionality passed an in-depth testing and the received results show that the issue is no longer persisting.

Info
Note: the newly implemented mechanism will be fully running for the Items listed via new version. For the Items which were listed earlier, the issue might still arise.

Let's look how it works using a particular example. You have a Grouped Product in your Magento which consist of 2 Child Products.

This Product was listed to eBay with the same Variation Option labels.

The Variation Option label was changed in Magento.

The Item will be revised on eBay and the updated Option label will be displayed.

Preventing the eBay Trading API errors if Magento Child Product was unassigned from Parent

In previous M2E Pro versions for the case when you remove one of the Magento Child Products (which is already listed to eBay), the eBay system returned you an error related to the mismatch between Variations presented on eBay and the ones you sent.

For example, your Product has 2 variations - red and green which are listed to eBay.

However, then the Green variation was removed from the Magento Product.

And during the next Revise action running, the error used to arise.

But the current version contains a workaround which prevents these errors and allows the Item to be revised on eBay.

Fixes

Item duplicates if List action
were
was run manually for Listed (Hidden) Item

Under some circumstances when the Item was placed in M2E Pro Listing with the Listed (Hidden) status, the ability to run List action for it manually was available. It cause the further duplicating of this Item on eBay and the issues related to it.

This problem is fixed and no related issues are observed in the version 1.1.0.

Multiple fixes for different functionalities
'There is another Item with the same eBay User ID, Product ID and eBay Site' error fix

This error used to arise for some cases during an Automatic List action running. Now it is fixed and no related issues are observed in the current version.

Images import when Magento Product is created during the Magento Order creation

In previous version there was an issue when the Magento Product was creating during the Magento Order creation process, its images were missing and not imported.

This issue is fixed in the current 1.1.0 version and no related issues are observed.

Import of full list of the 3rd Party Listings on a constant basis

Logically the 3rd Party Import process might be divided into 2 parts:

  • initial import - which imports full list of inventory and might be time- and resource-consuming;
  • common import - which is running when any event (new Item added to eBay Inventory, any update to the Items which are already placed, etc.) is caught. It downloads only the Items which were changed that allows to increase the Performance of the system in general.

However, the previous version had an issue when each synchronization re-loaded the full list of the 3rd Party Listings.

This problem is fixed and no related issues are observed in the version 1.1.0.

Tax Categories were not shown in the Price, Quantity and Format Policy

For some cases the Tax Categories were not displayed properly in Price, Quantity and Format Policy. However, the according fix was added to the new version and now there is no related issues left.

Payment Policy could not be changed if PayPal Business Account was configured

Under certain circumstances, when your PayPal Account is configured as a business one, the Payment Policy cannot be edited.

This problem is fixed and no related issues are observed in the version 1.1.0.
