   two way or one way? eg if quantity change from woocommerce it will also change
   quantity from ebay, is it the same case vice versa?

 * Hi [@louisapple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louisapple/),
 * The “Synchronize Sales” feature of our plugin, when enabled it can reduce stock
   quantity in WooCommerce when an item is sold on eBay and vice versa.
 * Only the Pro version of WP-Lister for eBay has this feature.
 * Please visit this page to know [How does the inventory sync work?](https://docs.wplab.com/article/41-how-the-inventory-sync-works)

 * ok, is that anyway i can link current ebay item? because i want to keep sale 
   record, and i suggest for lock function, do not Synchronize the title as we need
   longer title/keywords in ebay than our own webiste

 * Hello louisapple.
 * If you have active items on eBay and you don’t want to end them and then list
   them as new listings from WP-Lister to eBay you can use our [Import from eBay to WooCommerce](https://www.wplab.com/plugins/import-from-ebay-to-woocommerce/)
   plugin. Here are the requirements for using this plugin:
 * **Requirements**
 * -WP-Lister 2.x (Pro or free) needs to be installed and set up
    -You need to have
   an eBay store account to import store categories -An **empty**, single language
   WooCommerce site – multilingual sites are not supported -Your server shouldn’t
   break under heavy load (Please read the FAQ – this plugin won’t work on a shared
   dreamhost webspace!)
 * You can either run a clean import ([Import Modes](https://www.wplab.com/plugins/import-from-ebay-to-woocommerce/documentation/import-settings/#Import_mode))
   which will import your eBay store category structure, import your eBay items 
   into those newly created categories in Woocommerce, and connect the eBay listings
   with those Woocommerce listings (you must have an empty Woocommerce to do this,
   ie. no categories or products in Woo), or you can enable the “Match SKU” feature
   if you already have Woocommerce products in Woocommerce. If an SKU in Woo matches
   an SKU on eBay, the listings will be connected. Note: this “Match SKU” feature
   only works with simple products, not variable listings and the “Match SKU” feature
   will not create any categories or products in Woocommerce, it will only connect
   listings when a matching SKU is found.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * Hello louisapple.
 * You can control the title on eBay by using the “eBay title” field in the edit
   product page. So if you import from eBay to Woo, the eBay title will now be in
   Woocommerce. You can easily change the Woocommerce titles to whatever you want
   through a CSV plugin and also set the “eBay title” to whatever you would like
   as well: [Can I update my inventory from a CSV file?](https://docs.wplab.com/article/21-update-inventory-from-csv)
   You would use the “_ebay_title” header value to edit the eBay title.
 * What do you mean exactly, _the new release eBay product identifiers (ePIDs)?_
 * If you are asking about the changes eBay is making in 2017 in regards to product
   identifiers, mobile listing templates, active content, etc, yes we are aware 
   of it and we will be complying with their new requirements, but their fall seller
   update has not given all requirements, details, or the ability to start testing
   these new features yet so we must continue to wait.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * ok, if whatever you put in ebay options from the product edit page eg title and
   price and product identifier, it will only Synchronize from there as they are
   fixed term? Because ebay and my own website might have different promotion and
   pricing, so i need some of the items not Synchronized each other

 * Hi [@louisapple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louisapple/),
 * It depends whether your listing is lock or unlock.
 * “Locked listings” will have their inventory status – ie. price and quantity –
   updated instantly when you update a product in WooCommerce. All other details–
   like the listing title or description – will remain unchanged.
 * If you want WP-Lister to change your profile or update your listing template 
   on eBay, you need to “unlock” an item.
 * This is explained in great details here – [About locked vs unlocked listings](https://docs.wplab.com/article/45-locked-vs-unlocked-listings)
 * If you want the price to be different on eBay from the price on WooCommerce please
   go to Product > eBay Options > Price/Start Price this is where you can set the
   price you want the product to have when listing on eBay.
 * Or you can set the “Price / Start price” option in the listing “Profile” to change
   the price for many listings at once. You can use percentages as well, so if you
   want to reduce the price by 10% for all items using a particular profile, you
   would enter “-10%” as the price in that listing profile.
 * Kind regards,
 * Menchie

 * Hello louisapple.
 * You should not use the markdown manager as explained here: [The eBay Markdown Manager](https://docs.wplab.com/article/77-ebay-markdown-manager)
 * _it will not update the price in my website which has set price from Product 
   > eBay Options > Price/Start Price?_
 * No, it won’t. Even if you didn’t have a set price in the “Price / Start Price”
   field. No matter what, changes made directly to listings on eBay will not be 
   updated in your Woocommerce, which is why you should make all pricing changes,
   and changes in general, in WP-Lister.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * Hi [@louisapple](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louisapple/),
 * I think what you’re looking for is the Strike Through Pricing (STP) option. Which
   you can enable in your profile – [http://www.wplab.com/plugins/wp-lister/documentation/profiles/#Other_Options](http://www.wplab.com/plugins/wp-lister/documentation/profiles/#Other_Options)
 * You can find out more about it here – [Using the Strike Through Pricing (STP) option](https://docs.wplab.com/article/83-ebay-strike-through-pricing-stp)
