What is SellerHint?
SellerHint is operational software for eBay sellers. It helps you manage the work behind your products and listings: product records, listing drafts and templates, images, orders, inventory quantity, marketing, scheduled work, buyer messages and connected stores.
It is not a marketplace, a payment processor, a shipping carrier, or an official eBay product.

Is SellerHint affiliated with eBay?
No. SellerHint is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, certified by, or operated by eBay Inc. eBay is a trademark of eBay Inc.
Which marketplaces does SellerHint support?
eBay only. SellerHint is currently centred on eBay seller operations and is not a multichannel platform.
The list of supported eBay marketplaces has not been published yet. Do not assume every eBay marketplace is supported.

What is the difference between SellerHint for Mac and SellerHint Web?
Not the features — both carry the same set of workspaces. The difference is where your data lives and how you reach it. SellerHint for Mac is a native macOS application that stores product records, images, preferences and drafts primarily on your Mac. SellerHint Web is a separate browser-based product that stores everything in your Web account, reachable from any machine.
They are separate products with separate accounts, separate billing and separate data. Buying one does not include the other.

Does SellerHint for Mac automatically synchronise with SellerHint Web?
No. There is no synchronisation between the two products in either direction. They do not share accounts, subscriptions, databases, stored images, settings, drafts or marketplace data.

Can SellerHint manage multiple stores without mixing their data?
Yes. Store isolation is fundamental. Listing values, images and image order, business policies, warnings, orders, messages, campaigns, synchronisation status, marketplace identifiers and store-specific overrides all stay attached to the store they belong to.
The one deliberate cross-store workflow is Inventory Sync, which you configure and preview, and which is limited to quantity.

What does local-first mean?
It means product records, images, preferences, drafts and cached marketplace information are stored primarily on your Mac rather than on a server.
It does not mean SellerHint is offline or cloud-free. eBay authentication, marketplace reads and marketplace writes need an internet connection, and some functions depend on SellerHint services being available.

Does SellerHint store my eBay password?
No. You sign in on eBay, not in SellerHint. The native Mac application does not contain marketplace application secrets and does not expose raw refresh tokens; authorisation and token handling occur at the SellerHint backend boundary.
SellerHint will never ask you for an eBay password, an OAuth token, an API key or a secret key.

What is the difference between saving locally and sending changes to eBay?
Saving writes your work to SellerHint storage on your Mac and changes nothing on eBay. Sending supported changes is a separate, deliberate action that requires a connection and an authorised store.
Remote updates are processed in order, and results are reported back to you, including partial failures.

What does quantity-only Inventory Sync mean?
Inventory Sync compares quantity across stores and applies quantity changes you approve. It is designed to preserve unrelated listing information rather than pushing a full listing update.

Can I handle a return inside SellerHint?
To a large extent, yes. From Case Center you can message the buyer, accept an eligible return, issue a full refund or offer a partial one — whenever eBay currently permits that action for the case. SellerHint checks first, so you are not offered a button that will fail.
Escalation, declining a return and closing a case are not supported and continue on eBay. Financial and irreversible actions require a confirmation step before they are submitted.

Are SellerHint for Mac and SellerHint Web priced separately?
Yes. They are separate products with separate billing, and they are sold differently: SellerHint for Mac is free to download with an optional upgrade at $4.99 per month, and SellerHint Web is a subscription at $9.99 per month.
Paying for one does not include the other, and no combined plan has been announced.
Is SellerHint for Mac free?
SellerHint for Mac is free to download and use, forever. The free tier covers one marketplace account and up to 100 listings.
Pro raises that to five marketplace accounts, with no listing limit set by SellerHint, at $4.99 per month. Those are United States App Store prices; Apple sets the equivalent in other storefronts.
Does SellerHint pricing include eBay fees?
No. SellerHint pricing covers SellerHint only. eBay seller fees, advertising fees, shipping costs and any taxes you owe on your sales are charged by those parties.
