Chapter 5. Project 2: Auctions and Shipping

I've done some work with eBay, and so have a number of my friends and family. When you first start selling, it's usually an item or two, something small. Soon enough, selling things can become a fun side business. This in turn leads to a lot of time answering questions via email such as "how much will it cost to ship that to Florida?"

This chapter shows how to automate the process of posting auctions on eBay, and use the web services provided by FedEx to automatically include shipping estimates in the description of the auctions.
