Another Developer Account Rejected

[zman-314]

No information or even a email showing that the developer account was rejected.

@altheastix are you able to assist here?

I was also rejected and they never said why. It just told me to come to this forum or "talk to my eBay representative." I'm just a dad trying to build something, I don't have an eBay representative that I know about.

Same - no email. But upon login, I am told account was rejected. And yeah, no representative that I know of.

Does ebay monitor these?

I submitted my name and reasoning on the form, "My account registration was rejected".

I immediately received an email,

"We’re reaching out to provide an update on your eBay developer account activation. Following our review, we’re unable to approve activation at this time.

As part of eBay’s standard evaluation process, developer accounts are assessed against internal eligibility and risk controls. Based on this assessment, your request does not meet the criteria required for activation. These controls help protect our platform and community, and while we cannot share specific details of the evaluation, decisions are made in accordance with eBay’s policies.

You may consider reapplying at a later time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,
eBay Developers Program"

I believe this all to be in error. Thank you.

Yep, got the same email. I tried rephrasing my use case multiple times but kept getting the same result. I stopped trying in fear of getting formally blacklisted.

Just looking at other posts here, rejections have been far more frequent recently. My guess - eBay is limiting user access more than ever due to increased arbitrage bot activity, regardless of how valid/ToS-compliant your use case is. Personal experience - rejection emails have been near-instant, which is what leads me to believe the blanket access restriction scenario.

Fingers crossed we get some clarity or lifted restrictions soon!

Bump following this - same issue on my end. Looking to get access to Dev API but eBay just sends the same cookie cutter email instantly it seems.

same issue here

I've already completed this Developer support request form, almost a week ago, after our Developer registration was rejected for an unknown reason.

But I never got any email reply or any kind of follow-up. I've spent hours with eBay Support in trying to resolve this issue, and no one seems to know what to do, or who is responsible for this program, or why I can't seem to get any email reply.

I just want to be able to customize and streamline the way that I list books for sale on eBay. This is strictly a private use case! I have no idea what's going on, or why this is proving so difficult.

I'm in the same boat.  What's crazy is that I've just been auto-denied on 3 different emails, all from 3 different IP addresses.  I'm just assuming they're blanket denying folks at this point, especially considering when you sign up they only ask for email, username, and password.  No other information.  Somehow they can use that to deny your dev account?  Crazy man.  I just want to build something to help me manage my little Pokemon store lol

Considering that the response is instant, that doesn't seem to be the case. I've been selling on eBay for more than 25 years, I've done millions of dollars in sales over the years, how do I reach a person and get actual help?

[chazyua]

In the same boat, need help from representatives!!!!

[audiotechz]

Another  a long time 25+ year 100% feedback user. Totally unacceptable way to treat customers.  

No emails for the reason or way to contact. 

When I login: 

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.

Been a member since 1999 and yeah, no communication at all as to why my request was denied either even after explaining in detail why I need API access. Not a great way to treat longstanding members.
