This eBay SDK makes it easy for you to use eBay API in your PHP-based project.

This repository is not a hobby or a side-project, but a code maintained by a for-profit company that uses it in production. We promise to keep it open-source and maintain it for as long as we operate.

This repository is maintained by the company GeekSeller.com, and it is a fork of another eBay SDK repository. The original code has been developed by David T. Sadler, however, in February 2020, David archived the project and decided not to continue maintaining it. GeekSeller uses David’s SDK in the production, so we decided to create a fork of this SDK, maintain it as a separate project and offer it to the community.

Please note that GeekSeller is part of the eBay Developer Program and we have our eBay application listed in the eBay Solution Directory, however, this SDK is not endorsed, sponsored or maintained by eBay.

This repository is updated on a regular basis. It may take time to have reported issues fixed, but we encourage you to submit tickets, contribute or contact us to request premium support.

The documentation for the eBay API can be found here.

Some examples of using this SDK.

• PHP 5.5 or greater with the following extensions:
  • cURL
  • libxml
• 64 bit version of PHP recommended as there are some issues when using the SDK with 32 bit.
• SSL enabled on the cURL extension so that https requests can be made.

The SDK can be installed with Composer. Please see the Installation section of the User Guide to learn about installing through other means.

1. Install Composer.

   curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   

2. Install the SDK.

$request = new Types\GeteBayTimeRequestType();

// Send the request to the service operation.
$response = $service->geteBayTime($request);
