How to Check and Fix an Expired eBay Authorization in AccelerList

Learn how to identify an expired or disconnected eBay authorization in AccelerList, reauthorize your account, and troubleshoot common eBay connection and syncing issues.

AccelerList requires an active authorization with your eBay account to communicate with eBay and keep your listings, inventory, and orders updated. If your eBay authorization expires or becomes disconnected, some eBay-related features in AccelerList may stop working correctly.

What Is eBay Authorization?

When you connect your eBay account to AccelerList, you authorize AccelerList to communicate with eBay on your behalf.

This authorization allows AccelerList to perform supported actions such as cross-listing inventory and syncing information between the two platforms.

The authorization can eventually expire or may be revoked, requiring you to reconnect your eBay account.

Signs Your eBay Authorization May Have Expired

If your eBay authorization is no longer active, you may experience issues such as:

  • eBay inventory not syncing correctly

  • Cross-listing to eBay failing

  • eBay orders not updating in AccelerList

  • Changes not syncing between AccelerList and eBay

  • Authorization or connection-related error messages

If multiple eBay features suddenly stop working, checking your eBay connection should be one of your first troubleshooting steps.

How to Check Your eBay Connection in AccelerList

  1. Log in to your AccelerList account.

  2. Go to Settings.

  3. Select Connections.

  4. Open the eBay connection section.

  5. Review the current status of your eBay account.

If the connection indicates that authorization has expired, the account has become disconnected, or reauthorization is required, you'll need to reconnect the account.

How to Reauthorize Your eBay Account

If your eBay account needs to be reauthorized:

  1. Go to Settings → Connections → eBay in AccelerList.

  2. Select the available option to reconnect or reauthorize your eBay account.

  3. You will be directed to eBay.

  4. Sign in using the eBay account you want connected to AccelerList.

  5. Review and approve the requested permissions.

  6. Return to AccelerList and verify that your eBay account shows as connected.

Once authorization has been restored, AccelerList should be able to communicate with your eBay account again.

Why Can an eBay Authorization Become Invalid?

An authorization may stop working for several reasons, including:

  • The authorization has expired.

  • AccelerList's access was manually revoked from eBay.

  • Changes were made to the eBay account that affected the existing authorization.

  • The account needs to complete the authorization process again.

Checking Third-Party Access on eBay

You can also review applications that have access to your eBay account directly through eBay.

Go to:

My eBay → Account → Sign in and security → Third-party app access

Review the applications connected to your account and check whether AccelerList still has access.

Still Having Problems After Reauthorizing?

If you've successfully reauthorized eBay but your inventory, listings, or orders still aren't syncing, allow some time for the connection to update and try the affected action again.

If the issue continues, contact AccelerList Support and provide:

  • Your eBay username or account information

  • A description of what isn't syncing

  • Any error message you're receiving

  • A screenshot or screen recording, if available

This will help determine whether the problem is related to the eBay authorization or another part of the integration.
