NAME

Net::eBay - Perl Interface to XML based eBay API.

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

Quick summary of what the module does.

Example of listing an item for sale:

use Net::eBay; use Data::Dumper;

my $ebay = new Net::eBay( { site_level => 'prod', DeveloperKey => '...', ApplicationKey => '...', CertificateKey => '...', Token => '...', } );

my $result = $ebay->submitRequest( "AddItem", { DetailLevel => "0", ErrorLevel => "1", SiteId = > "0", Verb => " AddItem", Category => "14111", CheckoutDetailsSpecified => "0", Country => "us", Currency => "1", Description => "For sale is like new <A HREF=http://www.example.com/jhds/>thingamabob</A>.Shipping is responsibility of the buyer.", Duration => "7", Location => "Anytown, USA, 43215", Gallery => 1, GalleryURL => 'http://igor.chudov.com/images/mark_mattson.jpg', MinimumBid => "0.99", BuyItNowPrice => 19.99, PayPalAccepted => "1", PayPalEmailAddress => "ichudov\@example.com", Quantity => "1", Region => "60", Title => "Igor's Item with Gallery xaxa", } );

print "Result: " . Dumper( $result ) . "\n";

Result of submitRequest is a perl hash obtained from the response XML using XML::Simple, something like this:

Result: $VAR1 = { 'Item' => { 'Id' => '4503546598', 'Fees' => { 'FeaturedGalleryFee' => '0.00', 'InternationalInsertionFee' => '0.00', 'CurrencyId' => '1', 'GalleryFee' => '0.25', 'AuctionLengthFee' => '0.00', 'ProPackBundleFee' => '0.00', 'BorderFee' => '0.00', 'FeaturedFee' => '0.00', 'SchedulingFee' => '0.00', 'HighLightFee' => '0.00', 'FixedPriceDurationFee' => '0.00', 'PhotoDisplayFee' => '0.00', 'ListingFee' => '0.55', 'BuyItNowFee' => '0.00', 'PhotoFee' => '0.00', 'GiftIconFee' => '0.00', 'SubtitleFee' => '0.00', 'InsertionFee' => '0.30', 'ListingDesignerFee' => '0.00', 'BoldFee' => '0.00', 'ReserveFee' => '0.00', 'CategoryFeaturedFee' => '0.00' }, 'StartTime' => '2005-08-30 04:50:47', 'EndTime' => '2005-09-06 04:50:47' }, 'EBayTime' => '2005-08-30 04:50:47' };

EXPORT

new -- creates eBay API. Requires supplying of credentials: DeveloperKey, ApplicationKey, CertificateKey, Token. Net::eBay will not be created until these keys and the token are supplied.

Get them by registering at http://developer.ebay.com and self certifying. Celf certifying is a trivial process of solemnly swearing that you are ready to use their API.

The site_level parameter is also mandatory and can be either 'prod' or 'dev'. prod means to use their production site (being charged real money for listings, etc), and dev means to use eBay sandbox http://sandbox.ebay.com/.
