eBay Provide Shipping Info via Inquiry

Provides shipping information (carrier, tracking number, shipping date) to an eBay buyer via an existing inquiry. This resolves "item not received" cases by supplying tracking details.

What it does

  • Authenticates with eBay using the refresh token to obtain an OAuth access token.
  • Sends shipping information (carrier name, tracking number, and shipping date) to the specified inquiry.
  • Resolves the inquiry by providing proof of shipment.

Notes

  • Requires a valid eBay refresh token with the appropriate scope.
  • The inquiry ID, carrier name, tracking number, and shipping date are typically extracted from a prior "Get Inquiry" or order lookup action.
  • The shipping date format should match what eBay returns in the inquiry (estimateFromDate field).
