How to convert your tracking numbers- the full guide

In this guide, we will explain the different conversion options you can choose from

When dropshipping, eBay's item location policy can be a struggle for sellers who dropship from all around the world and have multiple locations for their items. The main reason is the fact that the policy wants you to provide clear and accurate information about where your item is located.

This information must include the postal code, city, and country from which the item is shipped. So, when you upload the tracking number to eBay, it must match the shipping location you provided in the listing.

Otherwise, it can affect your views, sales, and profits, and in the worst-case scenario, eBay might flag your account.

But no more - we at AutoDS have several solutions for you! 🤩

To help our sellers, we have integrations with BlueCare, Aquiline, and QTrack. Systems that will make sure to convert all your tracking numbers coming from the different shipping carriers.

To better understand the comparison between the systems, pros/cons, and costs, follow the table below.

  • Without enabling the tracking automation, you will have to update the order status to 'Shipped' manually, and then the 'Delivered' status will be updated to your store according to the settings shown above.
