Question about Item codes

Would I be correct in assuming that spaces are not allowed in item codes?

I imported some products into the system with the format xxx xxx xxxx, but appears in ReadyPro in the format xxxxxxxxxx.

unsure

Yes, spaces are not allowed in codes.

My suggestion is to edit source file changing "xxx xxx xxxx" to "xxx-xxx-xxxx" (or "xxx.xxx.xxxx" or something similar) before importing

We are happy enough to retain the product codes without spaces, but I wonder if this issue might affect e-bay listing associations?

If you have some listings with spaces in your SKU this will be a problem because the association will not work (SKU need to be updated removing or replacing spaces)

When I originally imported the part numbers, ReadyPro simply removed the spaces. Would this not be the case when it comes to ReadyPro recognising eBay SKUs?

No, when matching with eBay SKUs spaces are not removed. Sad
The SKU needs to match exactly the one used for your inventory item
