It looks like it allows software to be written to access Ebay and perform Ebay functions. The "Application Program Interface" gives a set of high-level functions that allow your custom software to access Ebay, perform allowed functions, and to retrieve data. You could write software to scour Ebay for certain items and to place bids on auctions based on some criteria.

As it is, I just snapped up two CZJ 5cm F1.5 Sonnars for $100 each. Last thing I need to do is automate the process!

A good example of this is the program Garage Sale on the Macintosh. It allows you to build a sale page, then you fill in fields for things like price, terms, shipping with your item. FTP your images and then you can upload the page in one click and it makes the whole listing.
Kind of nice but on the Mac only. I have not seen any similar app on the PC.
