Can you give me more information about Lipsey’s?

Lipsey's was originally formed as a wholesale hunting and fishing distributor in 1953.

How do I connect Lipsey’s to eBay?

Spark Shipping provides a pre-built integration between Lipsey’s and eBay. To get started, create a Spark Shipping account, add Lipsey’s as a vendor using your API credentials or data feed details, then connect your eBay store. Once linked, Spark Shipping handles product data, inventory, pricing, order routing, and tracking updates automatically — no custom development required.

Does Spark Shipping sync Lipsey’s inventory with eBay automatically?

Yes. Spark Shipping pulls live inventory levels directly from Lipsey’s and pushes updates to your eBay store on a scheduled interval. When a product goes out of stock or drops below a threshold you set, your eBay listings update automatically to prevent overselling.

What Lipsey’s product data gets synced to eBay?

Spark Shipping syncs the full Lipsey’s product catalog your dealer account is authorized for, including titles, descriptions, specifications, high-resolution images, UPCs, MPNs, brand and category data, and your dealer-specific pricing. If Lipsey’s provides Year/Make/Model fitment data, that is included as well. All product data flows directly into your eBay store and stays up to date automatically.

Can I automate Lipsey’s order fulfillment on eBay?

Yes. When a customer places an order on your eBay store, Spark Shipping captures it and submits a fulfillment request directly to Lipsey’s. Once Lipsey’s ships the order, tracking information is pulled back and pushed to eBay automatically, so your customer receives a shipping notification without any manual work on your end.

Can I sell Lipsey’s products alongside other suppliers on eBay?

Absolutely. Spark Shipping supports multiple vendors on a single eBay store. If the same product is available from Lipsey’s and another supplier, you can link both to one listing. Spark Shipping's Intelligent Order Routing then automatically selects the supplier with the best price or closest warehouse to the customer's shipping address for each order.

How does Spark Shipping handle Lipsey’s pricing on eBay?

Spark Shipping pulls your dealer cost and MAP pricing directly from Lipsey’s and applies your custom pricing rules to calculate retail prices on eBay. You can set fixed dollar markups, percentage margins, or tiered pricing structures. When Lipsey’s changes wholesale cost or MAP, your eBay prices adjust automatically to protect your margins.
