Amir Saied has posted an update to his PEAR Services_Ebay project sa have been comitted to his CVS repository.   As I posted earlier, I'm working on the PEAR package Services_Ebay. To update it to new eBay XML schema, I've done some of the Calls/Models/Examples and touched the request skeleton to be compatible with eBay's new schema and finally committed them to the PEAR CVS. But unfortunately I can't continue with this job as before.   He notes that the version is not production ready, and since he won't be able to work on it as before, he's also including a progress file to help keep track of where the project stands.
