eBay integration that syncs stock, listings and orders
Connect eBay and everywhere else you sell reads from the same number. Sell on eBay and the others drop to match. Sell somewhere else and eBay drops to match. eBay cannot push its sales to us, so we check every couple of minutes. The exact timing is in the table below.
No credit card · connected in about two minutes · nothing on eBay changes until you say so
eBayMarketplace · sells and hands its orders out- Both ways
- We can create and update
- Orders out only, tracking back
- We check every two minutes
What a eBay integration actually moves
One row per job. Where eBay does not allow something, the row says so plainly, with no tick that carries fine print.
| The job | Does it? | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Stock we send out | Yes | We set the exact number on eBay instead of nudging it up and down, which is what keeps two tools from overwriting each other. |
| Stock we read in | Yes | We can ask eBay for a product’s current number whenever something looks wrong, as well as taking the changes it reports. |
| Listings | Create and update | We can put a product on eBay with its photos, options, description and category, then keep that listing in step with your other shops afterwards. |
| Prices | Sent | Selling price and the was-price both go across. You pick the direction, and a rule can add a margin so eBay is not stuck at another shop’s price. |
| Orders coming in | Yes | eBay orders land in one list with the customer, the address, the shipping and the right product attached. An order still awaiting payment waits until it is paid. |
| Orders going out | Not possible | eBay hands orders out but cannot take one in, because no app is allowed to create orders on it. You pick one of the six that can as the place you pack from. |
| Tracking going back | Yes | Add a tracking number to the order and we send it back to eBay on its own, and the buyer gets eBay’s normal notification. |
| How fast we update it | A second or two | We send a new number to eBay the moment we have one, and it lands a second or two later because eBay caps how often anyone can send it changes. Writing is still the quick half of the job. |
| How fast it tells us | We check every two minutes | eBay does not announce sales to us, so we check it every couple of minutes for both stock and orders. |
How the eBay connection is made
About two minutes, no developer, and nothing to copy or paste anywhere.
What you click
You sign in to eBay and grant QuickSync access to the selling account.
What we ask for
Your products and stock, and your orders. Payment card details are never part of it. We ask for what the jobs in the table above need and nothing beyond that.
How you disconnect
From QuickSync’s settings, or from eBay’s own screen for the apps it is connected to. Either side is enough on its own. Your eBay products, stock and orders stay exactly where they are.
What your eBay products look like once connected
Products, Orders and Settings is the whole of it. There is no dashboard to learn.
Every product keeps one number of its own, and each shop it is connected to shows what that shop currently says. When the two disagree you can see it on the same row, along with when it was last put right.
Orders from eBay arrive in the same list as orders from everywhere else, already matched to the right product. Put a tracking number on one and it goes back to eBay on its own, which is the step most sellers were doing by hand twice.
- One count per product, with each shop’s number beside it
- Anything we cannot match goes to a short review list, and we never guess
- Safety stock per shop, so the last one or two are never exposed everywhere at once
| Product | SKU | Stock | eBay | Updated |

eBay limits: know them before you connect
Every sync tool has constraints. These are the ones that apply here.
We check eBay on a timer
eBay does not announce sales to us, so we check it every couple of minutes for both stock and orders.
Orders come out, not in
eBay will not let anything create an order on it, so it cannot be the shop that fills a sale taken somewhere else. Six of the eleven integrations can, and you pick one of those as the place you pack from. Your eBay orders still land in the same list.
Nothing publishes itself
Copying a listing onto eBay always waits for you to look at it. Stock is the only thing that moves on its own, and only once you have turned that direction on.
Connecting eBay takes about ten minutes end to end
Most of it is you reviewing the product matching, not waiting on us. A eBay integration only starts changing things when you tell it to.
Connect eBay
You sign in to eBay and grant QuickSync access to the selling account.
Connect the other shop
The same again for wherever else you sell. eBay on its own has nothing to stay in step with, so you need at least two connected before anything happens.
Let it match your products
We line the catalogues up by SKU first, then by title, and hand you a short list of whatever we could not match. You decide what happens to those.
Watch, then switch it on
Leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree. When you are happy, let it start making changes, one shop and one direction at a time if you prefer.
Connect eBay with
Each combination has its own guide, because no two channels allow exactly the same things.
Or read about another shop on its own
Every integration has a page covering what it can and cannot do.
eBay is inside the smallest plan
Order volume never changes your bill. Your catalogue size picks the plan, and your plan price covers two connected shops with every shop after that adding it again.
Lite
$19/mo for two shops1,000 items and up to eight connected integrations, with stock kept in step. eBay counts as one of the eight, so there is room for seven more.
Pro
$29/mo for two shops2,500 items and up to eight connected integrations, and the point at which listings and orders start syncing as well as stock. Most sellers running a second shop end up here.
Ultra at $69 and Ultra+ at $99 add larger catalogues, price rules and setup help. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Questions eBay sellers ask
How quickly does QuickSync know about a eBay sale?
eBay does not announce sales to us, so we check it every couple of minutes for both stock and orders. Once we have the sale, correcting every other shop takes a fraction of a second, or a second or two on Amazon and eBay. Sending a change the other way is quick too. It is only finding out about eBay’s own sales that waits for the next look.
What does QuickSync get access to on eBay?
Your products and stock, and your orders, and nothing beyond what the jobs in the table above need. Payment card details are never part of what we receive. You can withdraw the access from the eBay side whenever you like, and we stop.
Will connecting eBay change my listings?
No. Nothing on eBay is edited, published or unpublished until you turn a direction on, and copying a listing onto eBay always waits for you to look at it first. Most sellers leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree before letting it make any changes.
Can orders from my other shops be sent into eBay?
No. eBay does not allow any app to create orders on it, and it hands its orders out only. Six of the eleven integrations can be the shop that fills an order taken somewhere else, so you pick one of those as your packing bench. Your eBay orders still land in the same list.
Does the tracking number go back to eBay?
Yes. Add the number to the order in QuickSync and we send it back to eBay on its own, and the buyer gets eBay’s normal notification. It is one fewer thing to do twice.
Which plan do I need for a eBay integration?
Lite covers eBay, at $19 a month for two shops with every shop after that adding another $19, and 1,000 items with stock kept in step. Pro at $29 adds listings and orders and 2,500 items. Eight shops is the limit on every plan. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Connect eBay and watch one shop correct the other
Make one test sale and watch the other shop’s count drop. If it does not work the way this page describes, you have spent ten minutes and no money.
