Merchant Integration Platform

The Merchant Integration Platform (MIP) is an easy-to-use, feed-based selling platform for small businesses and enterprise merchants. It lets you easily and efficiently upload your inventory to eBay in bulk and then quickly and efficiently manage your orders. What’s more, it works really fast and can upload over 50,000 SKUs in just 30 minutes.

If you are familiar with feed files used with other marketplaces, such as Amazon or Google Shopping, you can start selling on eBay right away with MIP’s standard CSV and XML feed formats. The max feed file size supported is 25 MB. If it’s larger than that then it’s advised to split into multiple files.

Inventory API

eBay Inventory API is a RESTful API that offers a retail standard solution for eBay sellers to manage their inventory and create listings using SKUs. The API enables sellers to create and manage inventory item records, track inventory levels, and convert these inventory items into listings on eBay.

With the Inventory API, sellers can streamline their inventory management workflows and optimize their listings to improve their sales performance on eBay. The API provides a range of resources, such as the Inventory Location Entity, Offer Entity, and Metadata Entity, to support various aspects of inventory management and product listing creation.

To use the Inventory API (or any other eBay public API), the user must have an eBay Developers Program account, and the user's seller account must be opted in to Business Policies.

Sell Feed API

The eBay Sell Feed API enables the bulk listing of products that are processed asynchronously by eBay. The user creates an upload task for each feed type, then uploads the bulk listing file to eBay, and once eBay processes the file, the user can download the result file to see if the feed file was processed successfully. There are feed types to add, revise, relist, and end listings.

The Sell Feed API also has the capability of downloading an Active Inventory Report that gives a seller price, quantity, and other details about all active listings.
