eBay linking

DroboAI links eBay through the desktop app — it opens Chrome, you sign in, and DroboAI keeps the session alive for listings and orders.

How it works

The desktop app launches a dedicated Chrome window to eBay Seller Hub. Once you sign in, DroboAI automatically:

  • Detects your login and extracts the session cookie
  • Refreshes Seller Hub every 60 seconds to keep the session alive
  • Streams live cookies and user-agent to power automations
  • Notifies you if the session expires so you can re-link

How to link your eBay account

  1. Download and install DroboAI Desktop. Download the app and run the installer.
  2. Open the app and go to Session. Launch DroboAI Desktop and open the Session page from the sidebar.
  3. Click “Login with Browser”. A Chrome window opens to eBay Seller Hub — managed by DroboAI, separate from your normal browser.
  4. Sign in to your eBay seller account. Use the correct regional site (https://ebay.com) matching Country/Region in desktop Settings. Do not click Google, Facebook, or other third-party sign-in. Type your email, then sign in with a password or SMS text code (two login options — SMS is not 2FA). If you need a password, add one in eBay account settings first.
  5. Wait for confirmation. DroboAI detects the login within seconds and shows a linked status in the app.
  6. Keep the browser open while running. Minimize the Chrome window if needed — don’t close it or log out while automation runs.
Important
  • Do not use third-party sign-in (Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.) — enter your email on eBay, then sign in with a password or SMS text code (login options, not 2FA)
  • Do not log out of eBay in the DroboAI Chrome window while automation is running
  • Do not close the Chrome window — minimize only
  • Disable PC sleep mode while DroboAI is running — Sleep = Never (the bot stops if the computer sleeps)
  • Country/Region in desktop Settings must match the eBay site you signed into
  • If the session expires, click “Login with Browser” again to re-link

Multiple eBay accounts

Sign out in the DroboAI Chrome window, sign into another account, and save each session with a unique label (e.g. “US Store”, “UK Store”). Select the session when starting automation.
