Is there a full list of all eBay APIs? Trying to streamline some processes

[accessoryoutlet]

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to find a complete and up-to-date list of all the eBay APIs (Trading, Inventory, Fulfillment, etc.), but I keep hitting dead ends or outdated documentation.

Is there an official page or resource that lists all of the available APIs with links to their docs?

I'm trying to write some code to streamline parts of my eBay workflow (label printing, tracking uploads, listing edits, etc.), so if you’ve built anything similar or have API recommendations or ideas — I’d love to hear them!

Thanks in advance!

I was originally looking for something like an Excel spreadsheet solution, but it’s all good — thanks anyway!

If anyone’s interested, I’ve actually put together a few useful tools on my Mac to manage my eBay business more efficiently. For example:

🔹 Inventory Editor via Terminal:
I’ve written a script that lets me access and edit my entire eBay inventory directly from Terminal. It opens a window where I can quickly make updates to listings — super handy and saves a lot of time compared to doing it manually through the site.

🔹 Order Printing Automation:
I also built a script that automatically prints shipping labels for my orders. It pulls the relevant info and sends it straight to my label printer with minimal input from me.

These tools have really streamlined my workflow. Happy to s

hare more details or tips if anyone’s interested! 😊

Three  threads in a week would indicate you're trying to advertise your items.

You'll find it has the opposite effect.

When poor customer service and TEMU products have been seen , they can't be unseen.

Hi all,

I’d like to set the record straight. My products are not from Temu. I source my stock in bulk directly from suppliers, and I manage my own inventory—as you can see from the tools I’ve shared. Just because a product photo looks familiar doesn’t mean it’s from Temu. That assumption is both inaccurate and unhelpful.

I joined this forum after being referred by someone who said it was a place to ask questions and learn. I’ve posted here in good faith, with genuine queries that many sellers face. Instead of support, I’ve been met with dismissiveness and passive-aggressive remarks.

I'm currently away due to family matters, but I'm still taking the time to learn and engage. I expect the same level of respect I give others. If this forum is only open to certain types of sellers or questions, perhaps that should be made clear.

Otherwise, let’s keep things constructive. If you can’t help, please don’t assume or attack.

Thanks

"I’ve been met with dismissiveness and passive-aggressive remarks"

I presume this is directed at me so let me explain ....as sometimes, unfortunately, posters don't like or understand  the answers they're given.

"with genuine queries that many sellers face"

Customer Service

When a seller comes to the boards complaining  about their seller rating  dropping (and being treated unfairly)  there's usually a reason.

15 + items  not received in 6 months is not a problem that other  (good)  sellers have.

In fact that's more lost items  than most sellers have had  in  years.

TEMU products 

When asked if you were dropshipping, your answer was no 

"I use temu photos as they are the best quality"

Do you have permission to use Temu and / or Temu sellers' images ?

If not, there’s a good chance you’re breaching copyright  law

"Happy to share more tips if anyone’s interested" 

It’s unlikely because most of the sellers who respond on the Selling board have been around since the early 2000s and have already streamlined their workflow.

But thanks for the offer.

"The seller is away until 29 June 2025"     

Hopefully you’ll take this time to work on improving your seller rating with great customer service.

And  if, as you say,  the items are in your possession, also use this time to take all your own photos.

I wish you all the best with your future as an eBay seller.

I would not be your target buyer, OP, but I’d like to explain the particular reasons why not (and why you may have some unhappy buyers).

1. If you’re using Temu pictures, for whatever reason, it means you’re obtaining your items from the same sellers who sell through Temu. (I cannot see another explanation for your using such images.) This means high likelihood of at least some of your items infringing on Australian small businesses’ IP by the Chinese seller having blatantly copied their designs… It also means that any electrical items/electronic items will NOT be compliant with Australian safety standards and won’t have gone through the rigorous compliance process and won’t have the required Regulatory Compliance Mark. There’s also the risk of unsafe and toxic raw materials used in the manufacture of the items.

2. There’s no warranty on the items. Buyers may not be aware of this.

3. Quite a few buyers specifically don’t want to buy from Chinese sellers because of quality and warranty issues, and would not realise that they are effectively buying such items when buying from you if you obtain your items from Temu sellers or Alibaba sellers, etc.

4. I simply can’t agree that you would have “high quality” items in such an inventory; Chinese factories churning out the Temu-type products do so as cheaply as possible and with little regard for the quality of the components.

5. Just as a general observation, eBay is already flooded with junk from China. The boards have often seen buyers post here with frustration at this, and they do want to be able to tell whether a listing is of Chinese cheap -factory-origin. It’s harder to tell when an Australian seller is importing from China rather than the seller being registered on eBay.cn, and this will undoubtedly lead to some very dissatisfied buyers who will feel misled,

I’m not a fan of the vast upsurge in cheaply produced goods outsourced to China and other countries where Australian standards are not met, component materials and specs are lied about, warranty does not exist and couldn’t be enforced, quality is not high, intellectual property is not respected, child labour and adult forced labour are known/strongly suspected to occur, etc. 

But… as I said, I’m not your target market. If you have the stock to hand, you’ll probably always have a market. Many Australians do seem to use price as the ultimate purchase deciding factor, and nothing in my post will prevent that from being the case.
