Is there a rails plugin for uploading bulk items to eBay?

Question

Hi,

I made a rails app that generates HTML code for eBay product description. Currently my client copies the HTML code to the eBay site manually. I wonder if I can automate the process. Of course, I don't want to start from scratch. Is there any eBay API plugin for that?

Thanks.

Sam

I found one at http://github.com/up_the_irons/ebay4r/tree/master. I am not sure if that will satisfies my needs yet. It looks quite promising, though.

If you want information on eBay's APIs and how you could develop some of this yourself you can visit eBay's developer site. They have what they call "Large Merchant Services" if you are planning on doing alot of bulk work for a large customer. It's not too difficult to figure out their API and build something around it if what you've found doesn't quite meet your needs.
