| Simple certificate-free automated
merchant center monitoring and c |

I am selling digital goods, meaning I'm not overly concerned
with
security. If someone scams me, I'm out a copy of a PDF file
or
whatever.
So I'm little inclined to go getting security certificates
and all
that.
I can do everything I need via the HTML API pretty easily --
except
that there is no obvious way to monitor and complete my
sales
automatically. The only way to do it that I can find in the
documentation is via the Level 2 XML API calling my website
whenever
there is a sale, which requires the aforementioned
otherwise
unnecessary certificates and suchlike.
I could write a bot that polls the designed-for-humans HTML
Merchant
interface, but that would be both painful and fragile.
I have to think there is a simpler way to get callbacks, or
a machine-
friendly form of the Merchant center I can poll.
Some searching on here didn't turn up the answer. Anyone?

Let me be clear: I am not interested in being spammed about
commercial
solutions.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't follow. How does this let
me
programatically interact with the merchant controls? I need
to be able
to detect new orders and, after I send out an email with the
PDF, mark
them as "shipped".

its not so programatically, u must enter ur self to the integration page a grap the xml- once u have them, you process them as you preffer. you can also code a boy that does it automatically
i dont recommend it, but i dont think u have an alternative to grap notification without SSL certififcates
an other could be to ask a friend with an SSL url to let u put a WS in his server. just to log the notifications, and then u can grap them from there...
hope this helps
