How to connect your eBay seller account to BossBot

BossBot uses eBay's official Sell OAuth API to monitor your seller account for new orders and buyer messages, then Telegram-alerts you with an AI-drafted reply. Fast responses keep your defect rate low and your seller performance on track.

Compliance status — read before signing up for eBay

BossBot's eBay Sell API application is currently in eBay App Growth Check compliance review (submitted 2026-06-18). During review, the integration works for onboarded sellers at eBay's standard developer rate limits. Once fully approved for production tier, rate limits expand and the integration graduates to full public availability. If you sign up now, you're an early access customer — no functionality gap, just noting the paperwork status honestly.

1

Sign up at BossBot (or open your dashboard)

Go to bossbot.uk/signup and start the 7-day free trial. If you're already in, open Settings → Integrations → Marketplaces.

2

Click Connect eBay

Under Settings → Integrations → Marketplaces, click Connect eBay. BossBot redirects to eBay's official OAuth screen at auth.ebay.com. You are on eBay's real domain — no credentials pass through BossBot at this step.

3

Sign in and review the requested scopes

Sign in to your eBay seller account. eBay shows the scopes BossBot requests:

sell.inventory · sell.fulfillment.readonly · sell.messaging · sell.account.readonly

No payout or billing scopes — BossBot never sees your PayPal or bank details. Click Agree to authorize.

4

Automatic token exchange

eBay redirects back to BossBot with an authorization code. BossBot exchanges it for access + refresh tokens behind the scenes and stores them per-tenant. Your eBay password never touches BossBot.

5

Start receiving alerts on Telegram

BossBot immediately polls your seller account. New orders → Telegram alerts within 30-60 seconds. New buyer messages → Telegram alert with an AI-drafted reply ready to copy back into eBay, or auto-post if you enable auto-reply for common categories (shipping status, return policy, product Q&A).

Common questions

Does BossBot protect my eBay defect rate?

It helps. Faster message responses reduce the buyer frustration that leads to defect-triggering feedback. BossBot alerts within seconds and drafts a reply. BossBot does not itself certify Top Rated Seller; only eBay does.

Can BossBot auto-reply to buyers?

Yes — auto-reply for approved categories (shipping status, return policy, product size / condition FAQ) posts directly to eBay. Complex or angry messages escalate to you.

How many eBay stores can I connect?

Lite 1 · Starter 3 · Growth 5 · Scale unlimited. Cross-border sellers with US + UK + AU accounts connect each separately.

Which OAuth scopes does BossBot request?

sell.inventory, sell.fulfillment.readonly, sell.messaging, sell.account.readonly. No payout or billing scopes.

Is BossBot an official eBay partner?

BossBot uses eBay's public Sell APIs as an authorized third-party. Not owned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by eBay Inc.

Does BossBot handle international eBay sites (eBay.co.uk, eBay.de, eBay.au)?

Yes. OAuth is per seller account. Multi-language buyer messages get AI responses in the buyer's language automatically.

What if I revoke access?

Go to eBay Account Permissions → revoke BossBot. Next poll returns 401, store marked disconnected. Your data is retained until you delete it.

eBay connected, buyer messages handled, seller metrics safe.
