The Media API lets you create, upload, and retrieve media files for eBay listings, including the following resources:

• images
• videos
• documents for Regulatory requirements
• post_order documents for post-order activities (such as returns)

Images are uploaded to eBay Picture Services (EPS) and can then be used in listings. Since published listings require at least one picture, image support is a core part of the API. Videos can also be uploaded and associated with listings, giving buyers a better view of an item's condition, features, and usage. For larger files, the API supports a staged upload flow and resumable upload capabilities.

The Media API also supports document upload for listing attachments such as user guides, product safety information, and other compliance-related documents, including files used for GPSR requirements and post-order documents. Once uploaded, these media assets can be referenced in listings through other eBay APIs, helping sellers create richer, more informative, and more compliant listings.
