Connect your eBay account

eBay is PalmFlow's live marketplace integration, with full two-way sync. Connect it once and your listings, orders, fees, and inventory stay in step automatically.

How to connect

1. 1Go to Settings → Integrations.
2. 2Click Connect on the eBay card.
3. 3You'll be sent to eBay to sign in and authorize PalmFlow. This happens on eBay's own site — PalmFlow never sees your eBay password.
4. 4Approve the requested permissions and you'll land back in PalmFlow. The first sync starts immediately.

The initial import can take a few minutes if you have a large catalog. You can keep working while it runs.

What syncs, and which way

• Listings — active eBay listings appear as items in PalmFlow. You can create and publish a new eBay listing from PalmFlow, and editing an item that's already live updates the listing itself — title, price and photos. See How eBay two-way sync works.
• Orders — sales pull in automatically, with buyer shipping details needed to fulfill, and the matching item is marked sold.
• Fees — eBay's final value and other fees are captured per sale, so your profit math is accurate without manual entry.
• Inventory state — quantities and sold/ended status stay consistent on both sides.

No browser extension

PalmFlow connects to eBay through eBay's official API on our servers — not a Chrome extension. That matters in practice:

• Sync keeps running when your computer is off.
• Nothing breaks when Chrome updates or eBay tweaks its interface.
• There's no extension to install, sign into, or babysit.

What we don't touch

PalmFlow requests minimum-necessary access. We pull listings, orders, and inventory state — not your buyer messages, and no personal buyer data beyond what's needed to fulfill an order. See Exporting and owning your data for the full picture on data handling.

Other marketplaces

eBay, Shopify and Discogs are the live integrations today. eBay is full two-way sync, including edits to live listings; Shopify brings your store's products into inventory and pulls your orders in automatically, but edits made in PalmFlow don't change your Shopify products.

Discogs brings in your listings and your sales. Connect your account and every record you have for sale becomes an inventory item, with its condition, price, label and catalog number already filled in. When one sells, the order arrives on its own — buyer, postage, and the 9% Discogs took, against the record it sold. You also get to search 15 million releases from the item editor, so a record fills in its own pressing details instead of you copying them off the sleeve.

Two things to know. Everything moves one way: editing a record in PalmFlow doesn't change your Discogs listing, and PalmFlow can't put a new record up for sale there. And Discogs sales carry no tracking number — you post the parcel yourself and mark it shipped on Discogs — so they skip the ship queue and land as shipped once you do. The full detail is in Connect your Discogs account, How Discogs sync works and Filling records from the catalog. Etsy, Amazon, Poshmark, Mercari, and Depop sit on the roadmap.

Each integration has its own answer to "does this go both ways", so PalmFlow labels every one of them Two-way or Import only on its card in Settings → Integrations — a channel that imports your listings does not necessarily accept edits back out.

In the meantime you can still log sales from any marketplace by hand and PalmFlow tracks the profit — the Sell flow has a platform field, and reports break profit down by platform. Want a specific integration prioritized? Email support@palmflow.app.
