- rjb 19y agoOf course always a possibility (myspace/photobucket), but I was just supporting Auctomatic's decision seeing as at every turn eBay seems to make their tools harder and harder to use. There are a million reasons why Auctomatic shouldn't bother, but if they are a great team you'll never be able to convince them of that.

Then again, how open is ebay to something like this? Other sites don't mind if you use their api to make enhancements, but is ebay one of them?
