      request access to the Marketplace sold data

      I am developing an Australian Pokémon trading-card price research application using the Browse API with EBAY_AU. I need historical sold-listing data and would like to request access to the Marketplace Insights API item_sales/search resource. Is access available for this use case?

      REQUESTING Manual Review: Developer registration rejected, appeal auto-declined
               

      Hello, my Developer Program registration was rejected with the generic "problems with the data provided or other irregularities" message. I submitted the "My account registration was rejected" form and received an automated decline within a minute, with no specific reason given. Use case: student portfolio project using read-only Browse API (item_summary/search) on EBAY_CA and EBAY_US for asking-price lookups on used graphics cards. No listing, selling, buying, or messaging. Polling (3x) search terms every 10 minutes. Could a moderator help escalate this so a human agent can review the account? Happy to provide any additional detail. Thanks very much.

      Developer Program registration auto-rejected — requesting manual review

      Hello eBay Developer Support Team, I recently registered for the eBay Developers Program to build a private, internal integration for my own independent e-commerce business, Alorta ( https://alorta.com ). After completing the registration and email verification, my developer account activation was rejected with the generic message concerning “problems with the data provided or other irregularities.” I then used the official “My account registration was rejected” form and submitted a detailed description of my use case. Within seconds of submitting the form, I received another automated email stating that the account did not meet internal eligibility and risk-control criteria. Because the response was immediate, it does not appear that my information or use case received a manual review. My intended use is limited and seller-specific: The application will be used internally to manage only my own authorized eBay seller account. It will initially operate only in the Sandbox environment. It will use OAuth and the Sell Account and Sell Inventory APIs to manage business policies, inventory items, marketplace-specific offers, and listing publication. It will not access unrelated seller accounts. It will not scrape, redistribute, commercialize, or sell eBay data. It will not use eBay data for AI training, market-price aggregation, or competitor analysis. It will follow the eBay API License Agreement, data-protection requirements, seller policies, and VeRO intellectual-property rules. All registration information I provided is accurate. Could an eBay staff member please arrange a manual review of my developer account or advise whether there is a specific detail that needs to be verified or corrected? I can provide my registered developer username, email address, and any verification information privately. I will not post personal account information publicly. Thank you for your assistance.

      Developer account rejected — "irregularities" error, requesting manual review

      Hi eBay Developer Support / Community Moderators, I'm trying to register for the eBay Developers Program to build a small personal, non-commercial tool for my own use — searching eBay listings and displaying the listing's origin/creation date via the Browse API (read-only, item_summary/search / get_item_by_legacy_id ). No listing, selling, buying, or messaging automation involved, and no data redistribution. My registration was rejected immediately with the generic message: "Your account registration was rejected due to problems with the data provided or other irregularities." I then submitted the "My account registration was rejected" form and received the standard automated reply about "internal eligibility and risk controls" with no specific reason given. A few details in case they help with review: I'm not using a VPN — normal home network My registration details are accurate and consistent I'm registering with a free email provider (not a custom domain) — I've seen mentions that this can sometimes trigger the automated filter, so flagging it in case that's relevant here This is a genuinely personal project, not commercial, not competing with eBay, not for price aggregation or data resale Could a moderator or Developer Support staff member take a manual look at my registration and either approve it or let me know what specifically needs correcting? Happy to provide any additional verification needed. Thank you for your time.

      New keyset disabled as Non Compliant — requesting exemption

      Hi, I just registered a new developer account and created a keyset "test1". It was immediately marked as "Non Compliant" and disabled. My eBay Developer account email:PepsiBetter2@gmail.com Keyset name: test1 - Use case: Personal notification tool using Browse API only, monitoring a few seller listings for new items. Non-commercial, low volume (<500 calls/day). - The "Apply for an Exemption" button on the developer portal did not bring up a form to submit the request. Could you please review and enable the keyset? Thanks!

      Developer account registration auto-rejected — requesting manual review (nela-cards)

      Hello eBay Developer Support Team, My Developer Program registration (username nela-cards) was rejected by the automated system, and the "My account registration was rejected" support form returned an immediate auto-decline with no specific details. I am an active eBay seller and I registered to build an internal tool that automates listing creation for my own inventory. I intend to use the Sell Inventory API to create and manage my own listings including multi-variation listings, the Browse API to retrieve item data and pricing for items I am listing, and the Fulfillment API to retrieve my own orders and purchase shipping labels. This is a single-seller internal tool. There are no external users and no data is displayed or redistributed outside my own account. Could a forum moderator or Developer Support staff member escalate this for a manual review, or advise what eligibility requirement I am missing so I can submit a compliant registration? Thank you.

      Cannot sign in to developer.ebay.com — CSP header blocks the page's own inline script, all buttons dead

      Account approved Aug 9, 2026 (welcome email from dev-relations@ebay.com ). I have never been able to sign in. Every button on the developer portal is dead — no error, no response. Sign In, the "Show" password toggle, "Send Now" on /fyp, and the submit controls on /support/developer-account-support. Since the support form itself doesn't work, I can't file a ticket, which is why I'm posting here.

      Developer account registration auto-rejected

      Hello eBay Developer Support Team, My new Developer Program registration was recently rejected by the automated system, and the follow-up support form ("My account registration was rejected") resulted in an immediate auto-decline without specific details. If my registration was rejected in error, I would greatly appreciate a manual review of my account application. I am the lead developer building Radex , a collector discovery and inventory tool designed to be used by attendees at trading card conventions. The core purpose of integrating the eBay API into our application is to serve as an affiliate traffic engine. We are utilizing the API to display active and completed listings to high-intent buyers on the convention floor, directly funneling them to purchase graded slabs via eBay if they cannot find the inventory locally. Our application will strictly adhere to eBay's data display policies and is intended to be paired with our eBay Partner Network (EPN) affiliate integration to drive marketplace sales. We are not utilizing the API for automated arbitrage, bulk scraping, or training AI models. Could a forum moderator or Developer Support staff member please escalate this case for a manual review, or advise what specific eligibility requirement is missing so I can submit a compliant registration? Thank you for your time and assistance.

      Account setup blocked, unsure how to proceed.

      Hey there, I've recentlyed registered an account "wts_cards" and was rejected for the following reason: " Your account registration was rejected due to problems with the data provided or other irregularities. If you believe this rejection is in error, please see our FAQs and Contact Channels page or work with your eBay representative directly." I do not see a way in the FAQ to address this issue, it stops me at login so I can't change any details, I don't even know what details are wrong? I have confirmed my email. I am trying to get access to the ebay API for tracking some of my favorite cards for my collection. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Developer account blocked at login (not just API rejection) - 6 days, ticket pending

      My developer account (roni_scanner) was rejected at registration with the generic "problems with the data provided or other irregularities" message (seeing others hit the same message today too). The issue goes beyond a rejected application: I can no longer sign in to the account at all. The sign-in page itself shows the same rejection message before reaching any application or keyset page. I verified my email on day 1 and eBay's own confirmation said to wait one business day before logging in. It has now been 6 days. Still blocked on every login attempt. I've submitted both an appeal and a Developer Account Support ticket with no response. Use case: read-only Browse API (item_summary/search) on EBAY_US for price and seller-count lookups. No listing, buying, or messaging automation. Could a moderator help escalate this so a human agent can review the account?

      Appeal: Developer Registration Rejected (Personal Project)

      Hello eBay Developer Support Team, I recently attempted to register for a Developer Program account to build a personal inventory management tool. However, my registration was immediately rejected with the "problems with the data provided or other irregularities" error message. I believe this auto-rejection was triggered because I was connected to my work VPN (which I require for a static IP for my day job) during the registration process. This application is strictly for a private, non-commercial application to manage my own personal inventory. Could a community moderator or staff member please review my application and help me appeal or reset this rejection? Thank you for your time and assistance.
