Hi Steve,
probably I'm missing something, but eBay integration module does not process credit cards etc, so why are we speaking about PCI compliance?
Moreover, if X-Cart itself uses redirect-based payment methods ( when the payer is sent to a payment page hosted by the payment gateway), the store is our of scope of PCI compliance regulations too. It simply never touches the sensitive CC info at all.
If "merchant-hosted" payment methods are used, the proper way is to process them via X-Payments, that's an independent software, PA DSS certified one, it has higher system requirements (compared to X-Cart) due to PCI compliance indeed, and yes, it requires PHP 5.3 or higher, but it can be installed on a separate server, other than the one used to host X-Cart itself. So PHP 5.3+ rule is rather applied to X-Payments, not X-Cart, if we speak about PCI compliance.
You may have many other reasons to use PHP 5.3 and higher, security is the most important one, but I still do not quite understand why you speak about PCI compliance in the context of ebay Integration for X-Cart.
