net/p5-Net-eBay 0.62nb3 NetBSD

This module allows users to communicate with eBay using perl and their XML based eBay API. You can use it to list items for sale, bid, get seller item list, search, get ebay time, or do anything else.

Many details of this API can be found at http://developer.ebay.com. To be able to use this module, you need to register there and obtain keys and a authentication token using "tokentool".

The job of its module is to encapsulate connectivity and authentication, and communication with ebay. First, you need to initialize your ebay connection by passing it credentials. After that, you can send queries to eBay. A typical request is comprised of its name, and a hash table of application parameters.
