This is my second job posting here, since the first was a success. The application I need created at this time, is quite simple, if you understand Amazon's API well.

I need an application that will allow me (the user) to enter two bits of information: a seller name (or SellerID), and, the Amazon site I wish to search (example, [url removed, login to view] or [url removed, login to view], etc) and the application will return an output file (csv format preferably) with all of this seller's currently listed items on that site (I only need the Product ID (ex. ASIN, or EAN (13 digits)), item title, artist, condition (example: Used-Very Good, or, New, or, Used-Like New), Binding (example: Audio CD, or, Book, etc) and price of course. See attached sample output file.

Please note, that- there is one catch that will separate the men from the boys here: the PHP code needed to write a simple script to do this, is already written and provided by Amazon in their API manuals. The catch is, Amazon can only display- I believe- up to 4000 or maybe, 5000, items using that code. I need someone who can find a clever way around this limit, and ensure that my output file will include ALL products listed by any seller I'm searching, if their inventory is larger (10,000, or 20,000 or even, 80,000 items, etc).

Again, if you know what you're doing, this is a script or application that shouldn't take more than a day or two to write, at most (I've had a similar script written for me in the past). I would prefer to have this script running from my laptop (localhost), as I suspect that may make it more stable? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I will select a winning bidder, based on your feedback of course and a combination of how long you'll need to deliver this project, and your price.

Of course, you can write this script/application in any language you choose. That doesn't matter to me- I'm just interested in the output (the data, this script will provide me).

Ps. I do have many other scripts, and projects I need help with. The successful bidder, if he/she delivers the work on time, and is easy to work with, will receive many more job offers from me on a regular, weekly basis if he/she is interested in more work.
