eBay API - price suggestions

[polini-kids]

Hello fellow developers,

I'm delving into an aspect of eBay's Sell APIs related to responding to price suggestions, specifically automating this process through an external system on behalf of sellers. I've browsed through the API documentation available at eBay's Developer API, but I'm yet to find clear guidance on this functionality.

My objective is to develop a system that can automatically respond to price suggestions provided by eBay. This system would ideally assess these suggestions and either accept, reject, or counter them based on predefined criteria set by the sellers. However, I'm currently facing two primary challenges:

API Endpoint for Price Suggestions: Is there a specific endpoint in the eBay API that handles price suggestions? I've looked into the "getOffers" endpoint but it seems to cater to a different functionality. Any guidance on the correct endpoint would be greatly appreciated.

Integration for Automated Responses: Assuming there's a way to access these price suggestions, how would one go about integrating an external system to automatically respond to these suggestions? Are there any examples or best practices that I can refer to?

The goal is to create a seamless and efficient process for sellers to manage their listings, leveraging eBay's data-driven price suggestions without the need for manual intervention.

If anyone has experience with such an integration or can point me to relevant documentation or resources, it would be immensely helpful. I might be missing something obvious, so any insights from this knowledgeable community would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best regards,

Although I can't answer your question and this does not address your question, the price suggestions that appear at the listing stage are generally of little use to most sellers. They may seem to approach the target on identical items that are sold in sufficient quantity to generate a mean price that clusters around the average.  Have you polled sellers for desirability?

Hi @polini-kids 

For the price suggestion an eBay search for similar items is useful.  You can refer to "How to price your items" for more details.
