Ebay App.

[marcf]

Hello All:

With the new Ebay app on installer it says you need to have the Ebay token. Does anyone know what that is and how to install that? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks..

I have never tried the ebay app off installer...but i am pretty sure to get an ebay token you have to sign up to become a developer and then they provide you with a token.

Ok, I know how to get the token...NOw how do you get it onto the phone. Does anyone know??

Any help, would be much appreciated.

Thanks..

Marc

Thanks for that, but I already have the app installed. I need to figure out how to get the token directly on my iphone. Any ideas??

1. install and register the widget "eBay Watcher" on your mac.
2. follow the steps to obtain the eBay token.
3. run Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access on your mac and select the item eBayWacher
4. copy the token (entire entry) in "Show password" field
5. right click on the iPhone application "my eBay.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
6. double click on the file Data.plist
7. select the item Token and paste the token into the value field
8. save and quit "Property List Editor"
9. download the "My eBay.app" to your iPhone.

I have read them, but I installed this app directly from installer. So, what I am unclear about is how to get the token onto my phone with the app already installed.

Thanks..

Theres gotta be a workaround for the token crap.

Just made it work. Be carefull when copying. The token it is 872 characters long, so you have to select all (Command-A).

can someone please explain to me what to do?

i registered. and it says my token expires like in march 2009 on the dashboard widget, but how do i activate my iphone version of the app?

1. Run Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access on your mac and select the item eBayWacher
2. Copy the token in "Show password" field
3. SSH to your phone and edit Data.plist in Applications\My Ebay.app
4. Input (paste) token key value between string and /string
5. Save Data.plist

lame....oh well. Maybe there will be pc support shortly

[mattportner]

vger's method works great. you can easily use the iFuntastic file browser to edit Data.plist

thanks vger!

again i havent used this program....but to get the ebay token dont you just have to sign up as a developer on ebay...then just edit and upload the data.plist with ssh and winscp, which is all doable with windows

[marcf]

I SSH'd into my phone and I found the data.plist, but there is nothing there to edit. Am I not looking in the right spot? I found the data.plist under Applications\My Ebay.app

Thanks..

Why don't you guys install OS-X on your PC, perhaps in dual boot or using Vmware. Very doable nowadays and so much fun.

[marcf]

I just can't get this app to work....

You're very welcome!
