Account registration was rejected... no support response
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.
It seems this is a common thread, but hasn't been getting the traction it needs to get resolved. I've been an eBay member since 2000, in good standing, and, during that time, have found limitations of the app that make buying certain things a little more difficult. I have been a computer/software engineer for 10 years and am simply looking to finish a side project that requires the use of this API. Before anyone asks me to go Develop Account Support , I've sent messages many times to get this resolved and have yet to receive a response.
I think, initially, there may have been an issue with me attempting to select a username that was not the same as my eBay seller name (assuming that's a requirement?), for the given email, so I started just using my eBay email. After trying for about a week to get a response from support, I attempted to create a new profile with a different email. That was rejected as well - maybe because there is no eBay profile for that email? Not sure, but it seems like this is a widespread problem. I understand the need to maintain some rigidity in the registration process to prevent abuse of APIs, but perhaps there's a better way?
I'm excited about my application and am looking forward to hearing from support to get access to the API!
