# eBay return decisions > Bring eBay return and refund notifications into one policy-driven queue. Set up with the Lumtry team; nothing is written back to eBay. - Canonical URL: https://lumtry.com/connectors/ebay - Last updated: 2026-09-24 Lumtry can take eBay return and refund notifications into the same case queue as your store, decide each one under your versioned policy and send exceptions to a person. The connection is set up with the Lumtry team today, not self-serve, and Lumtry never writes back to your eBay account. ## What it does - Turns eBay return and refund request notifications into refund cases in your Lumtry queue. - Decides each case with your published policy, or with a policy version you scope to eBay cases only. - Adds fulfillment status from eBay to the case, so your rules can see whether the order shipped. ## Set it up 1. **Create your workspace**: Sign up and create a Lumtry workspace. Connect Stripe or PayPal if you want approved cases to execute a refund. 2. **Contact the Lumtry team**: There is no connect button for eBay yet. The Lumtry team sets up the notification subscription with your eBay seller account. 3. **Publish an eBay policy**: Publish your default policy, or a version scoped to the eBay channel when marketplace returns need different rules. 4. **Watch before you act**: Run eBay cases in shadow mode first and compare the decisions with what you would have done. ## What Lumtry reads - Return and refund request notifications, with the order id, return id, amount and currency. - Fulfillment and cancellation status for the order, read from the eBay fulfillment API. - Your eBay seller id, to place each notification in the right workspace. ## What Lumtry writes - Nothing to eBay. Lumtry does not approve returns, issue refunds or message buyers inside your eBay account. - The decision, the policy version it used and each step, on the case's audit record in Lumtry. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Lumtry issue the refund on eBay? No. Lumtry writes nothing to eBay. It decides the case under your policy, and an approved refund executes through the Stripe or PayPal account connected to your workspace. Store credit and exchanges wait for a person. ### Can I connect eBay from the dashboard? Not yet. The eBay connection is set up by the Lumtry team today. Contact us with your eBay seller account to get started. ### How does Lumtry know an eBay notification is genuine? Lumtry checks eBay's signature on every notification against eBay's published key before anything is recorded. A notification that fails the check is rejected. ### What if the same eBay notification arrives twice? It opens one case. Lumtry removes duplicates by notification id within each workspace. ## Related - [Home](https://lumtry.com/index.md): Decide refunds by a versioned policy, send the exceptions to your team in Slack or the dashboard, and keep every step on the record.
