    Hi,

    I've been testing out the API and so far it's looking good. Much simpler than eBay's!

    I have hit 1 small snag though. I'm returning a list stores by passing my user ID to GetEbidStores. The list gives me store ID 80889 which I'm passing to GetEbidStoreCategories to grab the store category list.
    When it comes to creating a listing with SaveListingNew (or GetListingPreview), I have to pass the category "code" to Store->StoreCategory but I don't have a value to pass to Store->StoreID. That field will only accept "1" which I take it is the store "code". That value isn't returned by GetEbidStores. I only have the ID which it won't accept.

    Have I missed a step somewhere or does the API just not provide this information?

    Hi

    I am doing well implementing the eBid API for use in a multiple selling channel tool.

    I am working with sales now, and I am looking for a way to get an InvoiceID when an item is included in an invoice.

    I see the Invoice Status, but I wouild like an ID to tie the items in that invoice together.

    Any help appreciated

    Thanks

    Is there some example code that shows how to initiate and control getting the sessionId please?

    I use PHP/HTML and JSON or XML - just not sure how to get that first part at the moment.

    Thanks!

    I think I have an idea now. How do I set the length of the Login though? The API page mentions it can be between 1h and 1 year, but there's nothing to say how to set that.
