ebay Soap API call with CF

[FALCONSEYE]

has anyone worked with ebay's Soap API ? I saw some example CF code at developer.ebay.com but it doesn't work for some reason. Anyone know how to get a eBayAuthToken ?
thanks

The code probably works differently than you expect. I've seen the same code on several tutorials so i'm sure it works. what do you have so far?

this is what i have so far. As you will realize, ebayAuthToken variable is "". I don't know how to get it?
Ebay assigned me the AppID, DevID, and CertID which i have to put into the request header. All i am trying to is to connect to the sandbox and get two things : 1. local time on ebay and 2. Get everything for a specific itemID:4567762923 which is a VW touareg posted on the site.
what am i doing wrong?

I'm not sure where it was you got your sample code from but this is some code i found from ebay's API call example.

<cftry>
	<cfscript>
		// create the object used to send XML to eBay API
		xmlObjServer = CreateObject("COM", "msxml2.serverxmlhttp");

		// set the request headers for the HTTP request
		if (variables.sendToSandbox eq '1') { // send to the sandbox for testing
			// set SANDBOX variables in request headers
			variables.Urlxml="[URL unfurl="true"]https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll";[/URL]
			variables.logPass = "YOURPASSWORDHERE";
			xmlObjServer.open( "post", variables.Urlxml,"false");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-SESSION-CERTIFICATE", variables.logPass);
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL", "YOUR-COMPATLEVEL-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME", "YOUR-DEVNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME", "YOUR-APPNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME", "YOUR-CERTNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-MOTORATTRIBUTES", "1");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME", variables.callName);
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-SITEID", variables.siteId);
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-DETAIL-LEVEL", variables.detailLevel);
		} else {
			// set PRODUCTION variables in request headers
			variables.Urlxml="[URL unfurl="true"]https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll";[/URL]
			variables.logPass = "YOURPASSWORDHERE";
			xmlObjServer.open( "post", variables.Urlxml,"false");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-SESSION-CERTIFICATE", variables.logPass);
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL", "YOUR-COMPATLEVEL-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME", "YOUR-DEVNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME", "YOUR-APPNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME", "YOUR-CERTNAME-HERE");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-MOTORATTRIBUTES", "1");
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME", variables.callName);
			xmlObjServer.setRequestHeader("X-EBAY-API-SITEID", variables.siteId);
