inkFrog for eBay

I first started using this app about a year ago. It worked great for importing and syncing my ebay inventory with Shopify and vise versa..but in the last few months it doesn't do anything useful. In fact it has created more work for me just to make sure it is working correctly. It stopped syncing anything from Shopify and the only way I could get it to work was manually reload and re-sync my listings and inventory. Why am I paying for a service that creates more work for me? On top of that I have reached out to customer service and all I get is an automated message saying they have received my message and are escalating it. I waited over a week to see if any changes of updating were being done or even if there was any follow up on the problem. Nothing..crickets! I can't run my business that way. I've messed up multiple orders because the inventory doesn't get updated after purchases and out of stock items gets sold again. NOT COOL!! I've deleted the app..not worth the money!!

t the one big issue you can't snych new items from ebay to shopify, only from shopify to ebay. when you have hundreds of items on ebay and slow sales on shopify it makes no sense to use it. Not at all happy with it.

Inkfrog was the best app for selling on eBay but things changed. The app needs serious upgrade. I contacted support as I couldn't set eBay prices correctly and "they" kept sending me to the FAQ page - really no help.

The integration app no doubt works well but dont purchase the additional feature of designer template as you will be tired of selecting template to work but unable to save because of the error "invalid content detected" even no such thing exists in your template like any URLs/Contact etc. You pay for additional feature but unable to make your template. On my 6th day and counting ,,,, with email back and forth but no freaking solution at all.

API connectivity between shopify and inkfrog is not consistent. Continual errors and inventory problems making items show in stock and sell when they've already bee sold.

I am changing my review not all because of inkfrog but because of mostly because of ebay. EBAY can ruin your business in 3 seconds flat. I sold $2500 worth of items to clients who are not qualified clients. There has been issue after issue with Ebay I would steer clear of them. Do not be fooled when thinking "this time it will be different". It will not be different and you will dig a hole that will be very costly to get out once you realize there are 10 requests for returns and ebay goes out of their way to ensure it is difficult. I did run into pricing issues which did cost hundreds to remedy. Ink Frog needs to fix pricing issues when you are uploading 700 items and 10 items list for 50% their original prices and receive immediate purchases it is very difficult telling a potential customer, whoops issue with inkfrog I have to cancel. There is no faster way to receive 1-star ratings from "EBAY" clients.

really hard to use, and it's nearly impossible to sync with the old ebay listings

Leider in Deutschland nicht zu gebrauchen (Stand Februar 2023). Namen und Adressen mit Umlauten oder "ß" werden mit der immer gleichen Zeichenfolge "�" verstümmelt, so dass man sich in ebay einloggen muss, um die korrekten Adressdaten nachzulesen und diese manuell in Shopify zu korrigieren, bevor man die Bestellung weiter bearbeiten kann. Der Fehler war bei inkfrog noch nicht bekannt. Nachdem ich darauf hinwies, hieß es, man arbeite daran.

Ein anderer Fehler war bekannt und der gab den Ausschlag, inkfrog wieder zu deinstallieren: Das Textfeld für die ebay-Rückgaberichtlinien bei inkfrog erlaubt nur 250 Zeichen. Die rund 4.000 Zeichen einer typischen deutschen Widerrufsbelehrung akzeptiert inkfrog nicht, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Warenbestände nur von ebay zu inkfrog/shopify aber nicht von shopify/inkfrog zu ebay synchronisiert werden.

Unangenehm fällt beim Installieren/Registrieren auf, dass eine Kreditkarte angegeben werden muss. Es heißt vom Support zwar, die Abrechnung erfolge über shopify, aber das stimmt nicht, es wird direkt von der Karte abgebucht.

Pluspunkte für den günstigen Preis und den ansonsten schnellen, freundlichen Support. Aber das hilft halt nichts, wenn die App bestenfalls nur halb funktioniert und kein Zeitpunkt genannt werden kann, wann die Fehler behoben werden.

The app just doesn't work. I have been in contact with support, but it's just not working. The app does not sync orders and does not adjust quantity on ebay when items are sold (those two things are basically the whole point of this app, so it cannot even fulfill the most basic promises). My settings are set to sync as they instructed me to do. I don't know how to get this thing to work. Making the ebay listings is easy, so I really really wish this app did the absolute basics of showing me orders and keeping correct quantity. Please, just fix those two (should be very simple) things and it would be a 5 star app. Currently, I have the free version because I can't spend a monthly amount if it isn't working. I would gladly upgrade in a heartbeat if you can fix it. I gave 2 stars because the customer service is good.

I'm giving this app two stars because I do think that set-up was quite easy and user-friendly, giving this app some potential. However, and this is a big however, once synced this app completely messed up my inventory. I had to head to the store in the middle of the night, take my e-commerce site offline, and rush to perform inventory (which normally takes 2-3 days) so that I could get my site back up. I read a couple of other reviews that had the same problem, and the suggestion was made to have your inventory on paper before installing this app. That would be your best bet! I use Shopify as my master for my inventory, so I was out of luck.
