# Connect eBay: no keys needed

> eBay is the one marketplace without keys to copy: you agree on eBay's own page, with read-only access, and one connection covers every eBay site you sell on.

## Connect

**Where in Bookalyze:** Commerce → Channels → Add a channel → eBay

1. **Add your eBay sites.** US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Italy or Spain, each in its currency.
2. **Choose Connect eBay.** On a site's page, under eBay account. You're taken to eBay.
3. **Sign in and agree.** eBay shows what Bookalyze can read: orders (read-only), finances, and your account details. Agree, and you're brought back.

What you should see:
- [ ] A message says eBay is connected, and every eBay site shows **Connected**
- [ ] Orders arrive on Commerce → Orders
- [ ] Commerce → Settlements → eBay fills with each site's months

## Good to know

- eBay's consent lasts about 18 months. When it runs out, the channel shows **Needs attention**: choose **Connect again**.
- **Disconnect** deletes the sign-in; your sites keep their history.
- UK and EU sellers: eBay asks for signed finance requests, which are coming. Until then, upload Seller Hub's transaction report for those sites.
