Microsoft Flow eBay File Exchange HTTP POST Upload

Posted on 21 Mar 2019 18:12:49 by 33

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a connection between Flow and eBay File Exchange.

 

File Exchange is a service offered by eBay that allows users to upload csv files in order to modify or create listings.

 

I generate two files daily to either modify the quantity available, or remove items.

 

I'm hoping to find a way to automate the upload process.

 

I'm able to construct the first part of my flow to fetch the file I'd like to upload, but I'm having trouble executing the POST request. I've tried a few variations without much success. I've attached a few images of the guidance that eBay provides, but sadly I didn't find much on their forums and their tech department isn't trained for this particular capability.

 

I'm hoping that someone will take a look at their documentation, and let me know if Flow is capable of processing the upload. I've successfuly generated my user token from File Exchange.

 

I don't understand if the additional text they've specified in the example should be configured as a header.

 

As is probably obvious at this point, I am not a developer so this is out of my depth.

 

Thanks in advance,

    I never connected flow successfully. I had a developer write scripts that work using the eBay API. I was able to use power automate desktop to use the eBay negotiation API which was interesting. For Shopify I used an app called stock sync which solved a lot of problems. If you have the budget you could connect Shopify to eBay, and then manage your inventory exclusively on Shopify. Hope this gives you a few hints

    Curious if whether you've had success with making file updates into eBay with Microsoft Flow or another method. I've just started down the path of exploring my options for both receiving reports and ideally updating attributes similar to what you described in 2019. I'll be going through the same exercise with my Shopify store as well. 

     

    Thanks in advance for any insights you can share.

    Hi @Beulmoto ,

     

    Unfortunately, MS Flow does not have a connector for eBay File Exchange currently. So no direct action can achieve your needs.

    I am afraid I am not familiar with this part, you could try contact support for further help.

    In addition, if you want MS Flow's feature to cover eBay File Exchange, please consider posting your idea in Flow Ideas forum:
