More a question than an issue!

Hey there @jeremyj563 , I found your gsheet-to-ebay folder when trying to find some way to export/upload my ebay listing csv files I have generated in google sheet directly to ebay instead of having to go directly to ebay.com each time and upload from file exchange there...was curious if you actually, in fact, used your gsheet-to-ebay code for this particular purpose and if so, please can you elaborate some on how you set it up (using c#) to work with/inside google sheets apps script? Or, if you used it some other way or any way just how you did it so I can try and figure it out and have it set up to do same thing myself. Would very much appreciate hearing back from you, this is literally the only thing I've been able to find that comes so close to doing what I am longing for mine to do. :) Thanks so much!

So sorry @vintaclectic! I am just not used to getting any issued opened on my stuff. Basically what I have here was just me playing around with an idea. Let me explain:

For years I have been keeping all of my eBay listings within a Google spreadsheet so that I have a hardcopy/history of all my listing data and to make it easier to re-list (since I was doing all my eBay listings manually). I started getting into coding and decided to automate this process by programmatically getting the data from the spreadsheet, building the listing and finally posting it to eBay.

So I got to work and wrote some python code that interfaces with Google Sheets and eBay directly through their respective APIs. I chose python because at the time there were plenty of good examples both for eBay and Google.

That all happened about two years ago. I still use the python script but now that I have been learning .NET I have been wanting to rewrite this program and actually give it a frontend GUI instead of just being a console app. That was the purpose for this repository (ebay-lister). I still plan to build my ebay lister program and have been studying ASP.NET so I hope to begin implementing it soon.

If you are at all interested in the python code I wrote you can find it here:

Just keep in mind that it was literally my first python script so it is quite sucky. Much of the code is literally just copied and pasted from examples in the documentation. That being said it does work and it is a huge time saver. I find it to be a way better solution than that terrible TurboLister program 🤢

Hey @jeremyj563 thanks so much for getting back to me! I've been combing thru your python script and to be honest, I've no idea what it's doing or even trying to do lol...Basically, I've built a google sheet that can manage every aspect of my ebay selling side business - even so much as as creating the sheet file that can be uploaded to ebay file exchange when creating new listings - but the one single thing I can't figure out how to do is create an apps script that just allows me to upload that sheet as a csv file directly to ebay from the spreadsheet itself instead of going to ebay to do it manually...is this capable of doing that?
