I have created a SDK that enables people to use the eBay API in their PHP projects. If you are familiar with Composer it can be installed with,
php composer.phar require dts/ebay-sdk-trading
The example below shows how the SDK can be used to call AddMemberMessageAAQToPartner. More information about the SDK is also available.

/**
* Create the service object with the following configuration.
*
* authToken The token that authenticates your request on behalf of a user.
* For this example it will be for the seller.
* See the eBay guide for more information on tokens.

*
* apiVersion The API version that your application supports.
* Since this can change see the release notes to obtain the current version.
* http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/ReleaseNotes.html
*
* siteId The numerical id for the site that you want to send the request to.
* For this example it will be the site that the seller is registered on.
* A complete list of IDs can be found at,
* http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/finding/Concepts/SiteIDToGlobalID.html
*
* sandbox Optional configuration. Set to true to use the sandbox API.
* If this option is not included or is set to false the production API will be used.
*
* For more configuration options see http://devbay.net/sdk/guides/trading/
