<p>Just following on from one of my previous post about using SOAP requests from ASP.Net to access Ebay.<p />I have finally worked out [it wasn't hard in the end] how to do it.<p />A few things that I had problems with were:<ul></p> <li>Most of the request REQUIRE the version attribute to be set</li> <li>The DetailLevel attribute must be set on some request to enable you to </li> <li>A Authentication Token is required to send request to Ebay. The Authentication token is used so that the user doesn't need to give their user name and password credentials away to the program. The auth token seems to be a cryptographic hash.</li> <li>If you are using the WSDL url, you must also provide query string parameters so that Ebay know what to do with the request.
