Reliable image synchronisation is the backbone of successful marketplace selling. However, legacy technical standards can slow down processing and pose security risks. eBay is retiring its long-standing image upload service (UploadSiteHostedPictures) in favour of a faster, more secure Media API. To ensure your business remains fully compliant and performant before the 2026 deadline, we are currently transitioning our integration to this modern standard.
Enhancing performance and security standards
We are updating our technical infrastructure to strengthen the reliability of our eBay integration and provide you with a more robust data exchange. By adopting the Media API, we align our platform with eBay’s long-term technical requirements and ensure your listings remain competitive.
Key benefits of this modernisation include:
- Faster image processing and more reliable uploads to the marketplace.
- Enhanced data protection through the implementation of OAuth 2.0 security standards.
- Guaranteed long-term compliance with eBay’s technical ecosystem.
Future evolution
Our initial phase focuses on the core migration of the upload logic. Future plans involve further optimisations of the synchronisation frequency to ensure that updates in your PIM are reflected on eBay even faster.
Seamless transition for your workflow
This migration is a technical background update handled entirely by our development team, meaning there is no action required on your part. Your current listings and images will remain active and visible throughout the process. You can continue managing your product images within our platform exactly as you do today, but you will benefit from improved "digital plumbing" that connects our systems.
