The Solution for eBay Integration & Order Management

eBay Lists the Item. Pipe17 Runs the Order.

An iPaaS beside a legacy OMS needs its own feed and rule set for each channel a seller adds. Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform replaces that pair, and eBay orders ship from the warehouses and 3PLs your other orders use, against one inventory count.

Cancellations and Returns in Step

Pipe17 asks the warehouse to stop a canceled, unshipped eBay order, passes your cancellations to eBay, and matches each buyer return to its order.

Automated eBay Data Flows

Paid orders, cancellations, returns, products, and inventory locations come from eBay into Pipe17 continuously. Tracking, cancellations, available inventory, and prices go to eBay.
  • Pull Orders from eBay. Paid eBay orders arrive with each line’s SKU, price, discount, and tax, plus the shipping service, expected delivery date, and shipping address, ready for routing.
  • Pull Cancellations from eBay. When eBay reports an order canceled, Pipe17 cancels it, and any shipment already sent to a warehouse or 3PL gets a stop request. A buyer’s cancellation request takes effect in Pipe17 once the order shows as canceled on eBay.
  • Push Cancellations to eBay. An order you cancel in Pipe17 before anything ships is canceled on eBay too. Once an item has shipped, Pipe17 raises an exception for your team to resolve.
  • Push Fulfillments to eBay. Once an order ships, Pipe17 sends eBay the carrier, tracking number, and ship date for each line in the shipment.
  • Pull Returns from eBay. Pipe17 pulls each buyer return and matches it to the eBay order, with items, quantities, reason, return tracking, and the refund amount and date.
  • Push Inventory to eBay. Pipe17 sends eBay the available quantity for each SKU, totaled across your locations or taken from one location you choose. Updates can skip SKUs that have no eBay listing yet.
  • Push Prices to eBay. Price changes from the price list you name go to the matching eBay offer, and eBay prices follow your catalog.
  • Pull Products from eBay. Pipe17 links eBay listings to products with matching SKUs, updates existing products, or creates new ones with name, description, UPC, images, weight, and dimensions.
  • Pull Locations from eBay. Each inventory location set up in your eBay account comes into Pipe17 with its address.

Add eBay Beside Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify

Connect your eBay seller account to Pipe17 through eBay’s sign-in, or through your own eBay developer app. eBay orders then run on the inventory counts and routing rules your Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify orders already use.

Ship Every eBay Order from the Right Location

Watch Pipe17 route a paid eBay order to a 3PL and post its tracking number to eBay when the package ships.

eBay Integration FAQs

Yes, Pipe17 connects to eBay through a pre-configured connector it maintains on eBay's own APIs. It pulls paid orders, cancellations, returns, products, and inventory locations, and sends tracking, available inventory, prices, and cancellations back. eBay owns the marketplace and the buyer relationship, while Pipe17 runs the order operations behind each eBay sale.

Pipe17 runs eBay orders as an order management system (OMS), routing them beside orders from your stores and other marketplaces and drawing every channel from one inventory count. Cancellations and returns from eBay land on the same order record your team works from. Pipe17 replaces the iPaaS and legacy OMS a seller would otherwise pair to move and route eBay orders.

Connect your eBay seller account and your Shopify store to Pipe17, then link eBay listings to Pipe17 products by SKU. Orders from both channels arrive in one queue and ship from one set of warehouses and 3PLs. Every sale on eBay or Shopify reduces the inventory count both channels sell against.

Connect eBay to Pipe17 along with NetSuite, Acumatica, or another ERP, and each eBay order posts to that ERP as a sales order next to orders from your other channels. Tracking from your warehouses and 3PLs goes back to eBay, and with NetSuite, Pipe17 also posts the fulfillment once the order ships.

Connect the 3PL to Pipe17, and every paid eBay order your routing rules assign to that 3PL goes to it for fulfillment. ShipBob, Radial, and other 3PLs connect the same way, as do warehouse management systems (WMS) for the buildings you run. When the 3PL ships, the tracking number reaches eBay.

Pipe17 keeps one inventory count across your warehouses, 3PLs, and channels, and sends eBay the available quantity for every SKU with an eBay listing. When a unit sells on eBay or any other channel, the count drops and every channel's quantity follows. Sellers with several locations choose whether eBay draws on all of them or on one.

Prices go from Pipe17 to eBay, and product data comes from eBay into Pipe17. Pipe17 sends price changes from the price list you choose to your eBay offers, and pulls eBay listings into its catalog by SKU to create or update products. Titles and descriptions stay under your control in eBay or a listing tool such as Rithum.

Pipe17 syncs eBay cancellations in both directions and pulls eBay returns. A cancellation eBay reports reaches the warehouse or 3PL as a stop request, and an unshipped order you cancel in Pipe17 is canceled on eBay. Each return arrives tied to its order with the reason and refund amount, for your team to manage eBay returns beside other channels' returns.

Yes, Pipe17 connects each eBay seller account and site as its own integration, across 10 eBay sites: the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Ireland. Each account's orders follow your routing rules and share one inventory count. Sellers who connect through their own eBay developer app get their own eBay API capacity.

Yes, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives AI agents access to eBay orders: an agent connected to the Pipe17 MCP Server looks up an eBay order, checks its shipping status, or reads the inventory eBay shows for a SKU. Its design follows the Order Network eXchange (onX) standard. Admins decide in AI Controls whether external agents get access, and Pippen, Pipe17's AI agent, gives plain-language answers about eBay orders too.
