About this API
This API is the configuration surface for eBay sellers. It is not about listing inventory; it is about fulfillment policy, payment policy, KYC, sales tax tables, and payments program settings. The path tree includes "/advertising_eligibility", "/custom_policy/", "/custom_policy/{custom_policy_id}", and "/fulfillment_policy".
That structure fits teams that want to manage fulfillment and payment policies, read or update payments program settings, and handle kyc and business-policy configuration for a seller account. The spec lists scopes such as "https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account" and "https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account.readonly".
This is not the marketing or listing promotion API The surface is broad enough that a back-office tool usually fits better than a tiny script
