Managing shipments on eBay

When the shipping and tracking data becomes available on eBay, M2E Pro imports it and triggers Magento to create a Shipment for the corresponding order automatically. In case of the successful shipment creation, the order status in Magento will be updated to Complete (aka Shipped).
