I have seen dozens of offline software programs which allow you to upload an auction to eBay.

I would like to do this same thing, but using PHP instead (of course!).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could accomplish this?

Thank you!

    Hey, just saw your listing. Did you have any luck finding what you needed? We are trying to do the same thing. If we figure it out, I can email it to you as well.

      Possibly they use XML-RPC for this. Can you give URL's to a few. Also search eBay. Watchout for developers section/alike.

        Here are a few messages I have sent elsewhere: this should be sufficient to getting the ball rolling in figureing out what we are doing wrong:

        eBay made it so a cookie is required to be passed back. You sign in, they pass a cookie, and THEN you must pass that cookie back to them again to remained logged. We are unable to retrieve the cookie, store it on our server, then pass that same cookie back.

        We list on eBay with our own 3rd party tool that we build a few years ago. We are using PHP. eBay recently changed their lister, so our tool is now broken. What needs to be done is retrieve the cookie, store it somewhere, then pass it back to eBay. This enables us to stay logged in and submit our auction listings. The source code is below and we are unable to get it going. If you are able to get this up and running, I will pass the info onto my brother (who does most of the programming). If all works, I would be willing to pay you. There are other things that need to get done as well, so we could do jobs every once in a while. Let me know what you think.

        Thanks for your help.
