Perplexity

Fast listing updates inside Claude Desktop

This integration uses `list_listings` to pull your live store state directly into the chat window so you don't have to bounce between tabs. If you need to change a price or fix a typo, the agent fires off `update_listing` instantly. Forget about logging into the eBay seller portal or downloading CSVs just to make quick adjustments to your active stock.

Ship orders directly through this MCP Server

This MCP Server runs `get_orders` to pull pending sales directly into your chat interface so you can manage shipments without leaving the app. Once the label is printed, the agent executes `ship_order` to upload the carrier name and tracking number back to eBay. You never have to manually type a 20-digit tracking code again.

Sync warehouse data with update_inventory

Your agent uses `get_inventory_item` to check current warehouse counts against what is listed online so you stop selling items you don't have. When you restock a product, the agent runs `update_inventory` to refresh the stock levels. If an item is discontinued, it calls `delete_inventory` to clean up your catalog so you do not accidentally sell a dead listing.
