Q: Is it legal to connect to eBay's API if I use a real wholesale supplier (not retail store)?


A:

eBay's problem is really with retail arbitrage dropshipping, not wholesale.  Please refer to their User Agreement --> CLICK HERE  


Also, eBay's rules on price gouging -->> CLICK HERE 


Lastly, here's information related to using the API for retail arbitrage (since essentially a retail supplier is also a competitor of eBay's).  See screenshot: 

Here's the link -->> CLICK HERE see section 9.7.


Sku Grid and its repricing methods (whether API or not) can be used to revise wholesale items, which do not fit that disqualification criteria.
