    The problem is not in YOUR code, but in the XML that you are fetching from that ebay url. There is nothing you can do about it, other then contact ebay (somehow) and ask them to create well formed XML.

    The most simple (but also the most bad) way to hide it, is using the @ suppression method.

    $resp = @simplexml_load_file($apicall);
