Certified Provider Program

The eBay Certified Provider Program was established in August of 2004 to serve as a sales channel, consulting force and development team to ramp up users on eBay.

  • Non-technical providers (Certified Service Providers) offer services such as auction strategy and Web site template design
  • Technical providers (Certified Solution Providers) offer services that include integration with the eBay platform and custom software development

The Certified Provider designation helps members of the eBay community feel more comfortable with hiring providers to grow their eBay businesses. Certified Providers are carefully screened to ensure that they can provide eBay members with services and solutions to grow their eBay businesses. Among other criteria, participants must have extensive experience with eBay, pass a strict certification exam and provide a number of proven customer references that are checked by eBay.

  • Marketplace Strategy Consulting
  • Merchandising Design & Creative
  • Financing, Leasing or Checkout services
  • Outsourced Customer Support
  • Product Sourcing
  • Customer Acquisition or Retention Services
