i joined the eBay developers program a while ago and currently work on an eBay-addin to MCE...
with that plugin, you will have the ability to browse your "my eBay" and bid with your remote.
beta will be available soon through www.cbuenger.com

interesting?

unfortunately, eBay does not seem to be interested in this plugin. all my mails concerning problems with their API (e.g. the say, that the user should enter his username and password every time the plugin starts in the standard eBay loginpage :-( ) are unanswered, uncommented or only ansered with their standard "leave us alone"-answers.

i am in discussion with them to fullfill their certification requirements to get the official access to eBay's data and logos (besides this is very expensive...).

another weird problem: they do not let me be an affiliate of eBay.com because i do not live in usa. lol. i drive users to their service they earn loads of money!

the plugin works on my mce box like a charm ;-). my wife loves it. i hope to get my questions answered and pass the certification to release this nice plugin to the public.

i keep you updated
