Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your eBay Finance data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your payment and finance data instead of moving it.

What is the eBay Finance connector

Sync your eBay Finance data into BigQuery with Kaivo to analyse transactions and payouts alongside the rest of your finance data.

Category	Finance & Payments, E-commerce
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the eBay Finance connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your eBay Finance account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating eBay Finance

Authenticate with your eBay Finance credentials. You provide:

Field	Description
Client Secret	Your eBay developer application Client Secret.
Refresh Token	The OAuth refresh token obtained after authorizing your eBay developer application.

Prerequisites

This connector authenticates using your own eBay developer application:

Create an application in the eBay Developer Program portal, note its Client ID and Client Secret, and register a Redirect URI.
Complete the OAuth authorization flow to obtain a Refresh Token (see eBay's OAuth documentation).

Then enter those values below.

How the eBay Finance sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where eBay Finance supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for eBay Finance?

It depends on how much history is in your eBay Finance account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when eBay Finance's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in eBay Finance, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in eBay Finance instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the eBay Finance connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
