eBay integration · Authorization

You approve on eBay. You stay in control.

Connecting is an OAuth consent between your eBay account and MarketplaceHub. You approve a named set of permissions on eBay’s own screen. You can withdraw them from Seller Hub whenever you like.

Before you start

What you need first

An eBay seller account you can sign in to.

A Business account helps

It isn’t strictly required. But it gets the most from bulk listing and inventory features. Most sellers with more than a handful of listings are on one anyway.

No Store subscription needed

The integration does not need an eBay Store subscription of its own.

Selling on more than one eBay site?

Each account is authorised separately. Afterwards they are managed together, with listings, stock and orders kept apart per store.

Your eBay stores, one dashboard

Each store has its own consent. You manage them all from a single dashboard.

Three steps

How the connection is made

Three steps on eBay’s side, then you are back in MarketplaceHub.

  1. 1

    Start from your dashboard

    Pick eBay as a channel and we send you to eBay’s own sign-in. The request is signed, so the page you land on can be trusted to be ours.

  2. 2

    Approve on eBay

    eBay lists what the app is asking for before you agree. Approving returns a scoped token. Your eBay password is never involved and never reaches us.

  3. 3

    Land back with us

    The store appears in your dashboard. Its category and item-specifics data begins importing, ready for the listing stage.

Permissions

What the access covers

Each permission maps to something you asked the platform to do.

Listings & inventory

To read the listings you already have, create new ones from your catalogue, and revise price and quantity as they change.

Business policies

To read and manage the shipping, payment and return policies your listings are published with. Terms do not have to be re-entered per item.

Orders & fulfilment

To pull your orders in and send shipping fulfilments back with their carrier and tracking number.

Refunds

Separate permission

On eBay’s side, issuing a refund is a separate permission from fulfilment. We ask for it so refunds can be raised from the same order screen.

Staying connected

Stay connected. Disconnect when you like.

If eBay stops accepting our calls, you hear about it. Syncs do not fail quietly.

We tell you if it breaks

If eBay starts refusing our calls, the cause is usually a withdrawn or expired consent. The connection is flagged in your dashboard and you are notified.

Needs attention · eBay UK refused our calls. Consent expired

Reconnecting

Re-authorising runs the same consent flow and restores the existing connection. Your listings, policies and history stay exactly as they were.

Reconnected · Listings, policies and history kept

Revoking

Withdraw access from your eBay account settings at any time. Or pause the store in MarketplaceHub if you only want syncing to stop for a while.

Questions about access

What the consent covers and what stays under your control.

Still wondering?

Our team replies within a few hours, Mon–Fri.

Do you ever see my eBay password?

No. You sign in on eBay's own page and approve a named set of permissions. We receive a scoped, revocable token. The password stays between you and eBay, and revoking the token does not require changing it.

Can I connect more than one eBay account?

Yes, for example one for the US and one for the UK. Each is authorised separately and appears as its own store, with listings, stock and orders kept apart. All are managed from a single dashboard.

What happens if I revoke access?

Syncing stops and the connection is marked disconnected. Nothing already imported into MarketplaceHub is deleted, so re-authorising later picks up where you left off rather than starting over.

Do I need an eBay Store subscription?

Not to connect. We recommend a Business account, because bulk listing and inventory features are aimed at sellers at that level. But the integration does not require a Store subscription of its own.
