Hello everyone --

I'm the manager of Platform Evangelism in the eBay Developers Program. It's great to be here.

eBay Community Codebase provides computer programmers who are interested in creating open source software applications with eBay Web Services a place to share development resources. In other words, a place online for developers to work together on computer code. Think of it as a potluck for programmers!

We announced our new codebase on June 21 at the eBay Developers Conference, just before eBay Live!

No problem delyn.

eBay Web Services is a way for developers to write tools that interact with eBay. Buyers and sellers on the eBay marketplace are probably familiar with some of them, including eBay’s own TurboLister and eBay Toolbar for Internet Explorer.

eBay also allows third party developers to write and sell their own tools – take a look at our Solutions Directory for a list of options.

Open source is a method of software development where developers have access to a program's underlying source code and have the opportunity to contribute new features and fixes to the program to make it better.

No one person or company can dictate the features in the next version of the software tool. Instead, developers come to consensus about what is best for the tool, and work together to make it happen.
