eBay is recognized as a cornerstone in the E-Commerce revolution, eBay emerged in 1995 and has since solidified its position as a crucial entity in the online business realm. Despite the increasing competition, eBay boasts a substantial user base, a testament to its enduring significance.

Why extract ebay seller data via DataChannel?

Access Order Data: Order data pipeline helps sellers access all of the parameters such as Order fulfillment status, payment status, buyer demographics, cost currency, line item parameters (fixed price, quantity, sku, quantity, etc). When sellers have all of the order data collated in a data warehouse, sellers can access it anytime and anywhere and find out which items have been ordered the most at what price, and which user demographic prefers which products most. This data can help sellers tailor their audience targeting more precisely.

Transactions data: Transaction date, transaction_id, transaction status segregated across order line items. This data can help sellers to get a complete view of all transactions across categories and identify potential areas of improvement in terms of SLAs, transaction processing, product delivery etc.

With a data warehouse in place you can easily store data beyond that time range too. You can go beyond the limit that the API natively offers (90 days to 2 years).
