One order list for both channels
The eBay connector (add-on) pulls unshipped eBay orders into Karl automatically, right beside your Shopify orders. No second backend, no CSV export, no channel switching. Even with more than 50 open eBay orders Karl loads them all, and a single malformed order won't break the whole list.

7 carriers, smart routing, surcharge protection: for eBay too
eBay orders run through the same shipping flow as Shopify: a live rate comparison across DHL, DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, DPD, Austrian Post and Internetmarke. Smart routing picks the cheapest service automatically on request, and extended-area surcharge protection flags islands and special surcharges at the address stage, before an expensive label is created.
-
Tracking flows back to eBay automatically
Once the label prints, Karl reports the tracking number back to eBay: no manual copy-paste. Split shipments and multi-package orders are reported cleanly too, without duplicate shipping confirmations. Your eBay ratings benefit from an on-time shipped status, and you save the busywork.
-
Straight to your real eBay account, servers in Germany
Connecting takes you straight to your real eBay account: no confusing sandbox mode. Karl runs on EU hosting (IONOS Berlin) with encrypted storage, no tracking and no cookies. If eBay reports a buyer account deletion, Karl removes that data even from already-shipped orders, and you can disconnect eBay at any time.
The eBay connector is an add-on (from Karl Pro). eBay's feature set may change: the current state inside Karl is what applies.
