For businesses, the eBay marketplace is a rich platform making trading easier for eBay's 85 million users. For developers, eBay provides a cross-platform XML-based API to programmatically access the eBay web-service platform. This first half of this discussion will cover the business needs and advantages of accessing the eBay marketplace platform. Using tools and gaining access to historical transaction data, both on and off eBay businesses can be more efficient buying and selling and make more informed product or pricing decisions. The second half of the presentation will be directed toward custom software development using the eBay API. eBay's Developers Program allows application programmers API access to our web-service platform. This talk will focus on the technical implementation details pertaining to integration with the eBay API. Please Note.
