## Why ebay_create_listing is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a listing) in the eBay system. It is reversible—listings can be delisted or ended—so it does not rise to Destructive. While the tool operates within the eBay marketplace ecosystem and affects commerce, it does not directly transfer money or create financial obligations, so it is not Financial. The tool's primary action is data creation, placing it squarely in the Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Creates a new fixed-price listing via Trading API (AddFixedPriceItem); modifies eBay inventory and catalog by adding a new listing entry."
