Connect to my seller account

I have two ebay accounts that I use for selling and purchasing separately. I recently created ebay developer account so that I can use ebay APIs to handle seller activities on my seller account. I am able to find my listings but cannot add new item or revise. Similarly there are other actions that I want to perform like order processing and inventory management. But so far I am having hard time how can I give privileges of my seller activities to my developer account. How do I generate api keys from seller account? Any link to documentation or help available? Thanks

Hi @mobiz-store,

To perform actions like adding or revising items, processing orders, and managing inventory using eBay's APIs, you need to ensure that you have the correct API keys and permissions set up. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Create and Configure Your eBay Developer Account:

If you haven't already, sign up for an eBay Developer account at the eBay Developer Program.
Once signed in, navigate to the Application Keys section to generate your API keys. You will get keys for the Sandbox and Production environments. Use the Production keys for real transactions.

2. Link the eBay user Account:

To perform actions on behalf of an eBay user account, you will need to execute the call with the User access token.This involves creating a consent URL and having the user authorize the application. For more details, refer to the Authorization code grant flow guide.

3. You can refer to the Selling Integration Guide to get the detailed information on how to develop an eBay selling application.

Thanks for the detailed answer that I was looking for. One more thing, can I manage more than one ebay accounts from my developer account? Thanks

Hi @mobiz-store,

Yes, you can obtain the multiple users' consent with the consent request and mint a new User access token, a token that carries a user's authorization to let your application access the user's eBay account data.
