How does Shop1 list on eBay?

Shop1 uses eBay's official Sell APIs. After you connect your eBay account once with OAuth, Shop1 creates each listing through eBay's Inventory, Offer, and Publish chain. It can auto-create your fulfillment, payment, and return policies and your inventory location using eBay's Sell Account API, so you don't have to configure them in eBay's interface.

What happens when a unit sells or a listing ends?

Shop1 runs an hourly sync with eBay. If an eBay listing ends — sold or otherwise — Shop1 marks it removed on your side automatically. From Shop1 you can also hit End on eBay to withdraw a listing through the API. That keeps your channel status accurate without manual cleanup.

Does the eBay integration cost extra?

No. The eBay integration is included in the $49 per month per location plan. You bring your own eBay seller account, and eBay's own selling and final-value fees are separate and paid to eBay.

eBay Integration

List your units on eBay straight from Shop1 — through eBay's official Sell APIs, with status that stays in sync.

Built on the official eBay Sell APIs

Reach eBay's national audience without leaving Shop1.

eBay is where a lot of used and specialty equipment actually sells — but listing there by hand is a chore, and keeping it in sync with what's still on your floor is worse. Shop1 does both: it publishes your unit to eBay through the API, and it watches eBay so your records stay honest.

Connect your eBay account once. After that, listing a unit is a few clicks on the same Publish screen you use for Craigslist, Facebook, OfferUp, OPE4Sale, and your own website.

How the eBay integration works

The tedious parts of selling on eBay, handled by the software

One-button account setup

eBay requires fulfillment, payment, and return policies plus an inventory location before you can list. Shop1 creates all of them for you through eBay's Sell Account API — you don't have to dig through eBay's settings.

Category mapping & clean copy

Map your local categories to the right eBay leaf categories once, and Shop1 reuses them. Override the title and description per listing when you want a unit to stand out.

Status that stays accurate

An hourly cron syncs status with eBay. If a listing ends on eBay, Shop1 reflects it; if you end it from Shop1, the API withdraws it on eBay. No more dead listings or double-sold machines.

What's live, and what's next

We'd rather tell you exactly where things stand than oversell. Live today: connecting your account, one-button policy setup, category mapping, publishing a unit, ending a listing, and the hourly status sync.

On the roadmap: revise-on-price-change, bulk publish, and Best Offer support. If eBay is central to how you sell, tell us — dealer demand moves these up the list.

eBay Integration FAQ

Yes — you bring your own eBay seller account and connect it to Shop1 with a one-time OAuth login. Shop1 lists on your behalf; eBay's selling and final-value fees are billed by eBay directly.

No. Shop1 can create your fulfillment, payment, and return policies and your inventory location for you through eBay's Sell Account API, so you can list without configuring those in eBay's interface first.

You can end it from Shop1 with one click, which withdraws the eBay listing through the API. The hourly sync also catches listings that end on eBay's side and updates your records so the two stay consistent.

Shop1 uses OAuth, so it never sees your eBay password. The access tokens it does hold are stored encrypted.
