    Hi
    I am after a script that will search for (about 5 parameters), bid and confirm bid on items on ebay. Im not sure if this can be done, but from reading about PHP I think it may be possible..? I don't mind how its done, it does not have to be PHP.

    If you can do this, please give me a quote. I will provide more details if needed on request.

    Cheers
    Jay

    It can be done with cURL library, for sure, but if you make such a script, that's very dangerous, as it might be bidding on items you don't want .. :)

    It's very possible, although it would be a very involved job and hence would set you back a bit. If you're interested you can read more about the bot services I provide here.

    People have already been doing this for years. Just google "ebay sniping" and you will come across dozens of applications that specialize just in the bidding part of what you want done. The problem with a custom solution would be that each time ebay's API changes a bit or the site gets a slight makeover then your app would break.
