#4 Move configuration data to properties

You have some pices of configuration data hard coded
into your source files. E.g. the ebay server names.
Move these to java property files.

Greetings,

The ebay server names would require a substantial amount of
recoding if you were to change them. If I made it a
configuration file, users would think they could just
redirect it (for example) to www.ebay.de, and it would work.
This would definitely NOT be true. What I'd prefer for
items like that is what's been discussed elsewhere here, a
'server pack', which consists of an XML file describing ALL
the things that need to be changed for a new server. This
information would then be imported by the eBay server, and
processed appropriately, so if someone wanted to add eBay
France support, for instance, they could simply recode the
XML file with all the appropriate information.

I can't work on that right now, there's FAR too much
information that needs to be extracted in order to do it.
That's an highly complex project, akin to I18Ning my whole
program. I welcome anyone who wants to help on it, though!
