    Now you want to transfer goods to eBay Fulfillment. Follow the same instructions as for any other fulfilment service provider. Just make sure that you use the eBay Fulfillment warehouse as the destination warehouse for the stock transfer.

    Important note: eBay can only associate goods with you and scan them during goods receipt if they have a unique number representing the respective action, i.e. stock transfers or purchase orders. Store this number in the corresponding documents in the template management. Further reading on this topic: Customizing print templates.

    Case 1: Stock transfer

    If you move goods from your own warehouse to the eBay Fulfillment warehouse, print the JFSKU as a bar code on the delivery notes and add them to all packages. To do this, navigate to Admin > Print, email and export templates > Sales documents > Delivery note > Print.
