Working with eBay Non-API can be very automated and accurate when you work with AutoDS
but you still need to configure it in the right way. In this video I will show you
the exact 6 bullet points that you need to remember when you work with Non-API
part of them are must and part of them will just save you a lot of time and make your life much easier.
Short intro and we are starting.
Hello everybody!
So eBay Non-API is a very strong trend today and a lot of people are using that for their stores.
Everyone in AutoDS can choose between the Non-API version and the API version.
In this video, I will focus on the six most important bullet points that you need to remember when you work
with the Non-API version to get the most accurate monitoring from AutoDS.
So let's start, the first thing and the most obvious one is that you need to have the Chrome extension
of the AutoDS manual dropshipping when you work with the Non-API version.
So let's see how it works, If I go to Google and I will write here AutoDS manual dropshipping extension
I will go here to the first result and then I just need to install the extension.
The second thing that I need to do here is to configure the extension in the right way
and what I will do is just take the token from the settings page then I will copy it into the extension
and put it here then I will click the save settings. So that's the first and the most important tip but
that's everyone who started working with the Non-API will already know. The other thing that you need to know
is that you need to keep your browser always open because the eBay Non-API version works same
as you would work if you would do that manually, it means that it works with eBay directly
from your browser. We don't have any external communication with eBay, any servers
from our side, any API or something like that so basically it means that your browser needs to be always open
so the extension will run in the background and will make all of the actions on eBay for you.
Now something important here is that you don't really need to keep AutoDS or eBay open
all what you need to do is to keep your browser, the chrome browser open and the computer open
that's all. The third thing that you need to remember and that's my third bullet point
is that you need to remember that you should check the bell icon. So if you have any problem
with the monitoring, you will always have this button here that shows you all of the problems with
the monitoring with the Non-API version so just check the bell, click on the bell and you will see here
the exact problems with your monitoring. In most of the cases it will be an arrow that shows you that you need
to sign in again to eBay and then you just click the sign-in button and that's all.
It will solve most of the problems. Now another important thing that you will have here is that
sometimes eBay's file exchange will stuck, what does it mean and what is the file exchange?
File exchange is a system on eBay where you can upload a product with changes that you want to do
on your products and eBay will process all of these changes and put the right pricing
and all of the changes that you put on the file on your products. Now, the problem is that sometimes
eBay's file exchange is stuck and in this case it will stuck the whole extension of AutoDS because
we cannot do any actions after something is stuck there and we don't get any response from eBay.
In this case what I recommend you to do is to go to eBay's file exchange, check if something is stuck
then wait until it finishes and if the AutoDS manual dropshipping extension
will not back to work to normal, all what you need to do is just to remove the extension and reinstall, that's all.
This bug is very common on eBay and this why I really recommend you to follow up with the bell button
that you have here on the top of the extension. By the way, you will also have a small icon here
if you have any problems. The next thing and this is my fourth bullet point that you need to remember
when you work with the Non-API version of AutoDS is what happens if you turned off the computer?
So if you turn off the computer what will happen is that basically will not have any monitoring for your products
and usually we just turn it on, open the chrome browser and everything will be back to normal
your pricing will be synced and everything will become to normal. The problem is that your orders
will not appear because we will not have anything with eBay and then you need to take an action to
basically sync the orders that you got on eBay while your computer was off until when you turned it on.
So what to do in this case? So if you turned off the computer all what you need to do is to go to the
chrome extension here and then what you need to do is to click the run orders sync now last 7 days
after you click this button it will go to eBay, download the file of all of the orders from your last seven days
and sync it automatically to eBay. If you have part of the orders everything will be ok and you will
not have any duplicates but if you got any new orders they will be synced to eBay and then you will
see that under the orders page. Now the next thing that I really recommend you to do on your eBay account
is to go to eBay here then you need to go to account settings, then I go to site preferences
then scroll down until the end of the page and you have here keep me signed in, in this computer.
I really recommend you to check this checkbox and put here yes and then apply because if you don't do that
you will need always to click sign in again and again because the chrome extension will not be able
to communicate with eBay. This tip is really critical and I really really really recommend to go and do that right now.
The last tip that I have for you and this one is super important and advanced tip but
I really recommend to everyone read about that and I will also create another video about how to do that
on the right way and it will be below this video after it released so maybe when this video
will be just released you will not see that but still check below this video to see if the other video was released.
So I'm talking about virtual servers. What is a virtual server?
Virtual server is basically a remote computer that cost between 10 to 20 dollars a month for a normal one
that will give you really good results and it will not be any headache to work with these type of computers
because if you choose a cheaper one it will be really stuck and very slow so I recommend you to choose
a remote computer from one of the biggest companies, you can work with AWS which is
Amazon's remote servers computer or with Kamatera which is another company that a lot
of dropshippers love. There are a lot of different other companies out there but these are the two main
companies that usually dropshippers are using and this is why I recommend you for AWS
you also have 30 days of trial for one of their servers which is pretty cool, how will it help you?
So basically the remote server is same as your computer but you will use an RDP software,
a software which gives you a remote desktop so just put the address of the remote computer
logging in using your computer and then you will have another computer which is always turned on
and you can just install the extension there turn it on configure it and everything will run for you
for 24/7 it's pretty cool and very very very comfortable so it's highly recommended for anyone
who takes the business seriously and don't want their computer to stay on forever.
So, what happens if you work using the remote computers? It's not a problem at all because
all that you need to do is to configure the extension there and then you can keep working with AutoDS
from your normal computer because you have here all of the monitors just turn on the upload monitor too
and then what will happen is that even if you put uploads from your regular computer AutoDS account
into AutoDS it will be synced automatically using the RDP server using the extension on your other computer
and it will listed to your store directly from the server so it's amazing because basically you just need
to turn it on there to configure it and then we don't really need to log in to this computer anymore and
you can just work from anywhere using AutoDS as normal and in the background the server will sync
everything for you. So this one is really important and I hope that it gave you a lot of value.
