Developer account registration auto-rejected — requesting manual review (nela-cards)
Summary: nela-cards expressed frustration over the rejection of their Developer Program registration by eBay's automated system, mentioning their intent to create an internal tool for managing their eBay listings. They requested advice or a manual review. sqsuxx shared a similar experience, suggesting the issue might be related to using a public email domain and advising to try registering with a custom domain email, which worked for them.
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.

·3 weeks agoHopefully others see this as there are a ton of posts on this.
I had the same issue, registered with 3 Gmail address' all the same thing. I vaguely remembered a mailer service doing this and their docs state that you cannot register with a public email domain (@gmail.com). With this in mind I used one of my custom domains (admin@mydomain.com) and wouldnt you know it i was accepted and got a welcome email this morning.
Its unfortunate that ebay uses automated responses with no information or context when trying to register. Hopefully this will help you and others.
