But if read clearly it is only the sandbox. Not the real eBay database, what means that i have not access to actual ongoing auctions. Am i right ? 10.000 is more then enough. The other thing is i want to write this under Linux. I use only Linux for Internet surfing etc. And the eBay-API is an windows-dll. Of cos pyEbay is working under Linux too.
Thanx for the tips. I think "Ich schmeiß die Flinte ins Korn und mache alles manuell". ;-) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
