Ebay history download tool

Ebay doesn't let you download your buy history.  This tool exports it in various formats.

The most useful being xml.  However the XML is actually exported as a multivalue format,
and generic parsers do not get it right.

schema is:

<order>
  <items>
     <item></item>
     <item></item>
  </items>
  <items>
    ...
</order>

within each <items> object there are multiple <item> objects each representing a separate transaction with the vendor of <items> object.  So a multi-valued database would have no problem.  However
linear xml parsing results in a mess if translating later to such as an XML or flat file.

however beats nothing as an export tool

There is a chrome plugin called "ebay purchase history report". This is the best I have found so far. Only problem is it does not show the tracking# of the ordered item.
