Mail address of an ebay User ?

Hi!

For a microproject, we need to figure out the e-mail address for a given ebay User ID via SOAP Web Services.

I tried to use the "GetUser" call and to retrieve the value User->Email, but it always returns "Invalid Request". Other values are returned without problems.

Is this actually the right way, or has some other method to be used?

Regards & TIA
H.

This information is available only for a short period of time after you have completed a transaction with a user. You can not get the email address for an arbitrary email address from eBay. This information is kept secret.

Hello Mike,

thank you for this information, we will use a workaround, by simply requesting the mail address by user input ,-)

Hey there. I wrote a similar project in C++ by using pointers. However, the implemented network interface i used in C++ is no longer supported and I am not a C# guru as I am in c++. Tell me whether or not you got your solution. You can email me at gam30v3r2007@yahoo.com
