Recent API issues with eBay, Whatnot and CollX
Ted Mann
A surge in distributed attacks on several marketplaces has led to tighter security and less stable APIs (affecting listings, auth, and sold updates). Here's how we're addressing.
What's Happening?
Over the past few weeks, marketplaces like eBay, Whatnot, and CollX have been dealing with a surge in distributed attacks, which has led to tighter security and less stable APIs (affecting listings, auth, and sold updates). We’ve been working through this on our end to keep things running smoothly and address any issues that came up.
Watch a quick overview: https://youtu.be/IvEpVfoi4T0
We’ve added fallbacks and protections in CDP so listings still post and sales still register, even during marketplace disruptions
We’ve fixed key bugs, including:
CollX refunded orders not restoring quantity
eBay listings mis-marked as “ended” due to their refresh changes
Whatnot → CollX items being re-listed after sale
Bottom line: this was a mix of external attacks, API changes, and a few edge-case bugs. We’re rolling out better monitoring, faster alerts, and improved re-sync tools, and we’ll do a better job communicating early and often when issues happen.
