In Magento the actual carrier method is displayed using the 'method_title field’. The connector matches the shipping method using the carrier_code, but in the case of eBay orders this is the same regardless of the shipping method.

This is ok if you only have 1 eBay shipping method, but most sellers have several which means checking every order in Magento.

Hi Damian,

The Magento API does not gives the method title when we ask it the
information about a sales order. The only thing it gives is the code,
such as:

    'shipping_method': 'flatrate_flatrate',

So, if several methods are using the same code on Magento, we can't know
when we import an order.

Best,
