Account v1 API

The eBay Sell Account API gives sellers programmatic control over their account configuration — eBay business policies (fulfillment, payment, return), custom seller-defined policies, sales-tax tables, opt-in to eBay seller programmes, KYC status, advertising eligibility, and rate-table lookups. Most write endpoints require a User access token issued through the OAuth Authorization Code grant; the API is designed to be the configuration layer that listing flows depend on, so policy IDs returned here are referenced from the Sell Inventory and Sell Marketing APIs.

36 endpoints

Browse API

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for the eBay Browse API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Browse API is eBay's primary buyer-side discovery surface — search items by keyword, GTIN, image, category, or aspect, retrieve full item detail by item_id, expand item-group variations, and check whether a part fits a given vehicle through the compatibility resource. It also bridges legacy eBay item-IDs from the Finding API to the new RESTful item_id format. Most operations accept an Application access token, so agents can run product discovery without per-user OAuth.

7 endpoints

Buy Marketing API

The eBay Buy Marketing API surfaces merchandised eBay products by metric — currently best-selling — so applications can recommend products that are actually moving on eBay rather than guessing from search ranking. Each merchandised product entry includes the listing reference, image, and price snapshot, ready for use in price-comparison sites, deal aggregators, and AI shopping agents. The single GET /merchandised_product endpoint accepts a category_id and metric_name and returns a ranked list, making the API simple to integrate as a discovery layer on top of the larger Browse API.

Connect Your Agent

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"find live events near a location"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

1 endpoints

Catalog API

Look up and search eBay's product catalog to find exact matches for items sellers want to list. Listing against a catalog product auto-fills titles, descriptions, item specifics, and stock images — reducing listing creation time and ensuring data accuracy across millions of product entries.

2 endpoints

Charity API

The eBay Charity API lets third-party applications search and look up nonprofit organisations registered with eBay for Charity, the donation programme that lets sellers route a percentage of sale proceeds to a vetted charity. Two endpoints cover the full surface — keyword search across all supported organisations on a marketplace, and detail lookup by charity_org_id — returning legal name, EIN/registration number, logo, and mission summary. Applications use it to power charity pickers in listing flows and to verify a charity reference attached to a listing or sale.

2 endpoints

Deal API

The eBay Deal API is a Limited Release member of the eBay Buy API family that exposes promotional deals and time-bound events along with the eligible items inside each. The four-endpoint surface lets approved partners list current deal items, retrieve event metadata, list active events, and fetch the items associated with a given event. It is used by deal aggregators, browser extensions, and AI shopping agents that need authoritative access to eBay's curated deal inventory rather than scraping the public site.

4 endpoints

Developer Analytics API

The eBay Developer Analytics API exposes the call-limit and quota state of every eBay REST API and the legacy Trading API for a given application or user. Two endpoints — /rate_limit and /user_rate_limit — return per-resource quotas, calls remaining, time until window reset, and the length of the rolling window itself. Applications use it to throttle their own request rate before eBay rejects calls, and to alert engineering when a quota is about to run out. /rate_limit reports application-level limits and accepts a Client_Credentials access token; /user_rate_limit reports per-user limits and requires a User token from the authorization-code grant.

2 endpoints

Item Feed Service

The eBay Item Feed Service lets approved Buy API partners download bulk TSV_GZIP feed files of eBay items by category, marketplace, and date, plus hourly snapshot files of items that have changed within the last hour. Agents and applications can ingest the full eBay catalogue offline rather than scraping listings or paginating through search. Access is gated to Limited Release partners — applications must be approved by eBay business units before this service can be used in production.

4 endpoints

Logistics API

The eBay Logistics API gives approved sellers programmatic access to eBay-negotiated shipping rates and label generation. Sellers request a shipping quote for a package, choose from a list of live carrier rates valid for a specific time window, and create a shipment that produces a downloadable shipping label. The API consolidates the rate-shop, label-buy, and cancel flows into six endpoints scoped to a single shipment lifecycle.

6 endpoints

Marketing API

The eBay Marketing API lets sellers run promoted listing campaigns, build email and on-site promotions, and pull marketing performance data programmatically. Across 82 endpoints it covers Promoted Listings (Standard, Advanced, and Priority), promotional offers like coded coupons and item-level discounts, ad reports, and keyword and negative-keyword management for Advanced campaigns. Sellers can bulk-add or remove ads by listing ID or inventory reference, update bids, and schedule promotions across the eBay marketplace.

82 endpoints

Negotiation API

The eBay Negotiation API lets sellers proactively send discounted offers to buyers who have shown interest in their listings, such as adding an item to a watchlist. With two endpoints it identifies eligible items and sends a Send Offer to Interested Buyers (SOIB) discount on those listings. Sellers use it to recover stalled watch-list interest and convert it into completed sales without negotiating one-on-one.

2 endpoints

Recommendation API

The eBay Recommendation API gives sellers programmatic recommendations to improve their listings, starting with Promoted Listings ad recommendations. Its single endpoint, POST /find, returns recommended actions for one or more listingIds, telling the seller which listings would benefit from being promoted and the suggested ad-rate strategies. Sellers integrate it with Promoted Listings flows so they only spend ad budget on listings eBay's models predict will respond.

1 endpoints

Sell Analytics API

The eBay Sell Analytics API returns three kinds of seller-performance data — listing traffic reports, customer-service metrics benchmarked against a peer group, and seller-standards profile ratings (Top Rated, Above Standard, etc.). Sellers and the multi-channel tools they use call it to identify which listings are losing impressions, which customer-service measures are dragging the seller status down, and where the seller sits relative to peers. All four endpoints require a User access token in the seller's context.

4 endpoints

Sell Compliance API

The eBay Sell Compliance API tells sellers which of their active listings violate, or are at risk of violating, eBay listing policies — restricted-item rules, missing item specifics, image quality, brand-protection flags, regional take-back disclosures, and others. Two endpoints cover the full surface — /listing_violation_summary returns a count of violations grouped by compliance type, and /listing_violation returns the per-listing detail (listingId, violation reason, recommended fix). Sellers wire it into their listing-management tools so they catch and resolve violations before eBay suppresses or removes the listings.

2 endpoints

Sell Feed API

The eBay Sell Feed API is a bulk-processing surface for sellers — upload large input files (orders, inventory, listings) and download large output reports (LMS reports, customer-service metric tasks, fulfillment exports). It supports three modes: ad-hoc tasks (POST /task or /order_task or /inventory_task), recurring schedules tied to a schedule template (POST /schedule), and on-demand customer-service metric tasks (/customer_service_metric_task). Sellers operating thousands of SKUs use it instead of per-row Sell Inventory and Sell Fulfillment calls — one feed replaces a long sequence of API roundtrips.

23 endpoints

Sell Fulfillment API

The eBay Sell Fulfillment API is where sellers complete the post-checkout half of the transaction — read placed orders, create shipping fulfillments with tracking numbers, issue refunds, and manage payment disputes including evidence upload, contest, and accept actions. The 15 endpoints split across two resources: /order for the order lifecycle and /payment_dispute for buyer-initiated disputes. All operations require a User access token in the seller's context.
