Recently I sold a whole lot of 1 item on eBay and I had the daunting task of leaving 400+ feedbacks in front of me. I google’d for some tools, and not coming up with anything I just assumed the API didn’t allow feedback calls. After lamenting this to the ex-director of API at eBay when I was in San Francisco last week, he told me they DID have Feedback calls. In about 5 minutes I was able to write a script to leave 400+ feedbacks for me.

I love the eBay API.

Rumor has it, eBay feels snubbed, and is planning its own baby auction to drum up some press for itself. Now I didn’t even know Shawn had a kid, but I guess if he wants to put it up for free on Craigslist thats his business. I can see why he wouldn’t want to auction it on eBay, thats doesn’t seem quite morally sound.
