Our store is nearly complete!

We saved the most TERRIFYING piece of this puzzle for last.

Hoping for some guidance with regard to eBay to Shopify “connect” apps.

What concerns us most: 1) Glitches 2) Keeping track of inventory 3) Automatic “active listings” removal from BOTH sites once an item has been sold. Would also like to know if there are SKU number generators that will allow us to easily locate items on each site (or if an item needs to be located and removed manually)

Any favorite, reliable, glitch-free, seamless favorite apps?

Any words of wisdom in order to prevent major issues down the road?

Thank you in advance
