There is actually an argument you can pass when creating your Connection object; escape_xml=True which will escape all the symbols properly: https://github.com/timotheus/ebaysdk-python/issues/129#issuecomment-675529050

I would suggest this be changed to default in the library. I don't see why you wouldn't want to escape the xml in most use cases.
