On My side, I used he M2E Pro extension, though mostly for Amazon.  95% of the time I use the built in Amazon.  I ship through Amazon with it and do my Tracking that way.  I find it relatively easy to simply accept the "me2pro shipping" code and enter a trackin number.  Then I can go to Amazon (as I would assume I could with Ebay) to see the real tracking.

It would be nice, of course, to have more information in OpenERP but Magento does not seem to tolerate changing the Shipping code in my experience (as it means a change to the order).

I would note that in OpenERP Payment methods screen there are actually "2" notation type fields available.  Perhaps a second field (method as Damian describes), below the standard Magento Field could allow indication of carrier (though this is for internal communication).  The M2EPRO method transmittal does not really tell the customer who's tracking number is being transmitted from OpenERP.  This communication can take place via a standard message in OpenERP or Magento backend however.  "Method" display may be all that is required.  I don't know if that is a Connector Screen or a generic OpenERP screen however that is used in Delivery Methods.

My thoughts for now (other than I would prefer to not use M2E Pro at all.  It is very byzantine for Listings Management)

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,
