DexFlip publishes to your own eBay account. You sign in on eBay’s page and eBay gives the app access to list for you. The link is stored on this phone only. The setup sheet from Publish has two steps: Link your eBay, then Selling preferences. If you are already linked it opens on the second.

Linking

1

Tap Link eBay account or Continue to eBay

iOS shows its own alert asking whether DexFlip may use eBay’s site to sign in. Tap Continue. Tapping Cancel closes it. Nothing is linked and no message is shown.
2

Sign in on eBay's page

The page is eBay’s, inside a secure browser sheet. DexFlip never sees your password. If Safari is already signed in to eBay, you may skip straight to the next step.
3

Agree to the access

eBay lists what DexFlip may do: manage your listings and inventory, manage your account’s selling policies, and read your username. Agree to continue.
4

Check the status line

Settings reads Linked to eBay and your username.
The link does not move to a new phone and is not in iCloud Keychain. Link again on each phone. eBay ends a link after a long stretch, or when you remove DexFlip’s access on eBay. The next publish then fails with Sign in to eBay again in Settings, and the setup sheet opens as Sign in to eBay again. Sign in and tap Retry on the failed rows.

Unlinking

Unlink eBay account in Settings asks first. Unlink forgets the link on this phone. Keep linked changes nothing.
  • Nothing changes on eBay. Live listings stay live. Your policies stay on your account.
  • DexFlip’s access is not withdrawn at eBay. The app simply stops using it. To withdraw it, remove DexFlip from the third-party app permissions in your eBay account settings.
  • Your chosen shipping and returns policies are cleared in the app. Your ZIP code and default price stay.
  • You cannot unlink while a publish is running. Settings says Wait for the publish to finish before changing the account.

Linking a different account

Unlink, then link the other account. The app clears the policies it remembered, because they belong to the old account. Choose them again in Selling preferences. Listings already live stay on the old account.
