For $75 and one hours worth of time I can ask eBay if their developer XML API service is broken. It has been down now for over 6 hours and not a peep in any message board, service update or email regarding it's status. However, if I want to pay the money I could ask a live human being for a yes or no answer. I need a service like that!!!!
Though I can say from the developer perspective errors like this are really helpful:
1) Http/1.1 Service Unavailable
2) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable
Are these errors account related? Is the service really down? Oy vey.
Any of you XML wizards have an idea of what I am encountering?
