eBay API integration
We integrate your systems with the eBay API: automatic synchronization of listings, prices, stock, orders, statuses between your system (1C/ERP/CRM/site) and eBay. Honestly and bluntly upfront: integration is technical automation of routine, NOT a source of sales. eBay API access requires app/token registration, the API changes, there are limits, some depends on the region/account. Without promises of sales growth from the fact of integration.
eBay API integration — overview

eBay API is developing and supporting an integration of your system with the eBay API (Sell API: Inventory/Fulfillment/Marketing, etc.): app registration and authorization (OAuth tokens), synchronization of listings/prices/stock, receiving and processing orders (Fulfillment), statuses and messages, support for international specifics (currencies/shipping/policies), error handling/retries accounting for limits, logging/monitoring, exchange with your system. The work: authorization/access, entity synchronization, limits/errors, support. Honestly about 'integration ≠ sales', this is key: integration automates operations and removes errors, but does not create demand; sales on eBay depend on the product, price, seller rating (feedback), competition, the Best Match algorithm. 'We make an integration — sales will grow' = a lie. Honestly about 'eBay API access': app registration and authorization (OAuth tokens, keys) are needed; capabilities are limited to what the API provides. Honestly about 'the API changes/requires support': eBay updates/deprecates the API — the integration requires support; 'once and forever' = a lie. Honestly about 'rate limits': the API has request limits — we design the frequency/volumes of sync within them. Honestly about 'international specifics': cross-border trade requires accounting for currencies, shipping, policies, taxes — this affects the integration/data. Honestly about 'data quality': we transfer what is there; it will not fix incorrect data. Honestly about 'reliability': the API fails/errors; we do error handling/retries/monitoring, but 100% uptime depends on eBay. Honestly about 'within the rules/no inflation': the API legally per ToS, not for feedback inflation/fake deals. Honestly about the effect: it develops and supports an integration with the eBay Sell API (authorization, sync of listings/prices/stock/orders, international specifics, error/limit handling, exchange with the system), removing routine, but integration ≠ sales; depends on API access; the API changes (support); limits; international specifics; data quality on the client's side; reliability depends on eBay; within the rules. Honestly about access: an eBay seller account with API access (app/token registration), your system are needed. An important boundary: this is technical integration; eBay launch/management — 588 (marketplaces section). The base price starts from 35,000 ₽ for integration (depends on entities/systems; support separate).
Problems we solve
- eBay listings/prices/stock/orders are managed manually: slow, errors, desync with the accounting system.
- A misconception that integration by itself will boost sales (without seller rating/a competitive price).
- Expecting 'set up once and forever' without accounting for API changes and support.
- Ignoring API limits, international specifics and data quality.

FAQ
You make the integration — will sales grow?
No, honestly: integration automates operations (listings, prices, stock, orders) and removes errors, but by itself does not create demand. Sales on eBay depend on the product, price, seller rating (feedback), competition, the Best Match algorithm. We honestly make the integration as an efficiency tool, without promises of sales growth.
Will you set it up once and forever?
No, honestly: eBay updates and deprecates the API, so the integration requires support and updates. 'Once and forever' is a deception. We honestly include support so the integration keeps working when the platform changes.
What about international trade and limits?
It needs to be accounted for, honestly: the eBay API has request limits, and cross-border trade requires accounting for currencies, shipping, policies, taxes — we design the integration within these. Plus integration transfers what is in your system: it will not fix incorrect data. We do not do feedback inflation/fake deals via the API.
