Please Note:
This is important information to note when creating Product Groups in eBay LINK. Product Groups require the SKU we have in eBay LINK. Not the BigCommerce SKU you may have in BigCommerce.
The actual field in BigCommerce called SKU is not a mandatory field nor a required field, so it is not a reliable field in BigCommerce. Our App must have a SKU as part of the eBay listing requirement and because we cannot rely on BigCommerce providing that data via the SKU field we use the BigCommerce Product ID to create a SKU in eBay LINK. This eBay LINK SKU cannot be edited and it must be used when creating product groups and promotions etc.
