eBay Platform Feedback Forum Devcon 2010

Kristina Klausen mentioned that seller releases were working well, with sellers feeling informed and satisfied with advance notice of changes that happen. She mentioned that often requirements and changes are discussed far ahead of the changes occuring, with time to test the changes in sandbox and in production before a change is fully committed. Bhaven discussed improvements to the sandbox including availability, evolutions to include more APIs and functions to make it as close to production as possible. Kristina asked "what else can we do to continue to make this a world-class sandbox" and she was open to continued suggestions. Bhaven talked about the alerts API and notifications and expanding the suite of alerts that are allowable. The APIs are fully UTF-8 compliant currently.
