In practice

eBay EDI overview

eBay EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between eBay and businesses working in US marketplace and ecommerce supply. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on aligning marketplace orders with internal finance records.

A practical eBay integration should connect marketplace order data with ERP, warehouse and accounting systems. XEDI maps the agreed Agreed EDI format messages into ERP, warehouse, accounting or API workflows, while validation and alerts help teams deal with exceptions before they affect delivery or payment.

Every document validated before it moves

XEDI checks each eBay order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
