App: Pocket Listing Studio (Production App ID: EricBeau-PocketLi-PRD-b0ac58d5e-80c0eafc I'm already publishing to eBay in production via the Inventory API. Use case: Pocket Listing Studio is a native iOS app that turns a single photo into a complete listing (AI-assisted title, description, item specifics, price, condition, shipping) for individual and small-business sellers. I want to offer createItemDraft so a seller can review the prepared draft and finish + publish inside eBay's own app via sell_flow_native_uri — improving trust (they confirm in eBay's real form) and reducing failed publishes for listings needing category-specific details. I'll keep the Inventory-API path for direct publishing. Requested scope: sell.item.draft (production). Markets: US + CA. Volume: low initially, scaling with adoption. Compliance: all actions authenticated via the seller's own account through OAuth; my Marketplace Account Deletion endpoint is built and verified. Could someone review my keyset for createItemDraft production access, or advise on the process? Happy to provide anything else. Thank you! Eric Beausejour eric@ericbeausejour.com 1 hour agoakhan118Established seller — Developer Program registration auto-rejected twice, requesting manual review I'm an established US-based eBay member/seller (username akhan118) and my Developer Program registration has been auto-rejected twice for "problems with the data provided or other irregularities" — including a fresh registration (username iosdev) submitted from my normal US home network. My selling account is in good standing. I'm building a private app for my OWN reselling workflow that lets me create and manage listings on my OWN eBay account. I am not building a third-party app and will not access any other users' data. The APIs I need are standard seller-scoped: - Sell Inventory API (createOrReplaceInventoryItem, createOffer, publishOffer) — to create my own listings - Sell Fulfillment API — to monitor my order/sold status so items can be auto-delisted elsewhere and avoid double-selling - Sell Account API — to reference my own business policies when publishing offers - Taxonomy API — to identify correct category IDs Everything is authenticated via my own account through OAuth. No Marketplace Insights / sold-data scraping. My Marketplace Account Deletion notification endpoint is already built and ready to verify. Since this looks like an automated risk-control flag rather than a reviewed decision, could someone from the team please take a manual look and advise what specifically triggered the rejection, or approve the registration? Rejected dev usernames: akhan118 and iosdev. Happy to provide any additional verification.

Steps: Under Production Keys → User Tokens → Your eBay Sign-in Settings, I open a RuName (existing or new) and select the OAuth radio button. I fill in Display Title, privacy policy URL, auth accepted URL, and auth declined URL — all valid https:// links, no trailing spaces. Save stays greyed out no matter what I enter. I also tried creating a brand new RuName. It triggered an "Enable OAuth for RuName" popup — I clicked Enable OAuth, and it now shows a green checkmark under "OAuth Enabled" in the list. But expanding that RuName's panel still shows Auth'n'Auth selected, and clicking OAuth again wipes all the fields I just entered. I've reproduced this identically in Chrome and Firefox, so it doesn't seem to be a local/browser issue. Has anyone run into this or found a workaround? The AI-Assisted Support chat wasn't able to help — it just loops back to itself.

Hello everyone, I submitted an application for an API limit increase (Compatible Application Check) for my application, but it has been stuck in "In Progress" status for quite some time now with no updates from the eBay Developer Support team. Our application is currently ready for production, but the default limit of 5,000 calls/day is too restrictive for our merchant synchronization and automated optimization workflow. Here are a few details: Submission Date: [June 24 2026, 1:14:42 AM] Current Status: IN-PROGRESS API Calls Requested: [Inventory API / Trading API] I have tried updating the support ticket associated with the application, but have not received any response. Has anyone else recently faced significant delays with their Compatible Application Check? What is the current average turnaround time for limit increases? Is there a better way to escalate this or get in touch with the developer support team directly (other than standard support tickets)?
