New developer registration auto-rejected ("problems with the data provided") — requesting manual review
Summary: g2_cards experienced a rejection in their attempt to register for the eBay Developers Program due to unspecified problems with their data. They didn't receive any clarification via email and found that appeals through the support form were automatically declined. They are seeking a manual review, explaining that they are an active eBay member in good standing and that their application involved building a personal inventory tool for managing their own listings. They ask for assistance in correcting or understanding the issue to move forward with their registration.
Hi eBay Developer team,
I registered for a Developers Program account, but it was rejected with:
"Your account registration was rejected due to problems with the data provided or other irregularities."
I never received an email explaining the specific problem, and submitting the appeal through the Developer Account Support form results in an immediate automated decline — so I'm posting here to ask for a manual review, as this looks like a risk-filter false positive.
Some context that may help rule that out:
- I'm an active eBay member in good standing (I sell trading cards), and I registered using details that match my eBay account.
- I'm building a small, self-hosted tool to manage my OWN card inventory and create/optimize my OWN eBay listings — it's not a commercial/third-party app and handles no other users' data.
- Planned use: the Sell Inventory API and the Media API (createImageFromFile) to attach my own photos to my own listings.
- No VPN was used during signup, and all fields were filled in accurately.
Could someone please manually review my registration — or tell me the exact data issue so I can correct it? I'm happy to share my developer account name and registration email by private message.
Thank you for the help!

·2 weeks agoSame here, twice. I am working on a personal app, and I want to buy and sell on eBay. I have submitted twice, two different emails, and both have been rejected. I went into Dev Support and submitted under 'My Account registration was rejected' after email verification, and submitted the information. I have not received any reply, not even a confirmation email. One of the emails I used is attached to my long-time (10+ years) eBay account in very good standing.
Please Help.
