I have to give some kudos out to the Ebay API program. When they first opened I was playing around with it and they contacted me for an interview/survey thing they wanted to do. I accepted and talked to them over the phone for about 45 mins. I bluntly told them that I wanted to use the API to grab their content for use in creating a bunch of category based spam sites. They said cool and I spent the entire time giving them suggestions on how to make my spam job easier and what exactly would help me generate these sites faster. I even talked to them about API call limits and how I how much I would need as well as changes to the TOS that they need to make so I won't be infringing on their copyrights. They were very receptive and helpful, they also made a lot of the changes I suggested including certain specific TOS changes. Then today I got a package from them with a thank you card and a Ebay coffee mug.
 


This has gotta be the first thread I've ever seen anywhere saying eBay is too nice! I'm sure there's millions of eBay users out there that would disagree!

Congrats on getting the mug though!
 
haha it's amazing what a friendly conversation about your TOS breaking activities can do. :D
 
Good to finally hear something good about eBay hah! That is actually really impressive, though - I would never expect that out of any large company.
