Placing your listings on your own website is easy.

I have spent a long time building websites on the internet and my latest addition was to my new website that sells my specialist range of products for High Definition and Normal TV and home cinema systems at HDinterconnects.com

I have most of my inventory items listed in my online store but there are some things i sell one offs etc. Also sometimes I sell stuff cheaper on ebay and have created a section on my site for ebay bargains.

I needed a way to bring my listings onto my site but also to keep the look of my site without having to redirect people to my ebay shop. This is what I got see at

HDinterconnects.com/indexebay.php

Yes I paid a programmer to use the RSS feature provided by ebay to do just what I needed amd it was to be written in PHP for ease of use. Also it works a treat!

I Searched for ages

When I first had the thought of needing to place my listings on my site, I searched google for hours and could not find anything that came close. There were a few things that claimed to do what I wanted but no demos and they wanted a lot of money for the scripts.

I am letting you have it free if you need it!!
all you need to do to use my script on your site is change the link below with your ebay username::: "so change powersellersuk to your own ebay username"

THE_LINK is below, you need to add the www. etc
hdinterconnects.com/ebay_rss.php?bayuser=powersellersuk

you can then call this link using either a php include command within a HTML page saved with a .php file extension (server dependant) or use an IFRAME.

so example is you would have a webpage example index.php and within that page whereever you wanted the list to be displayed you would paste the following into the HTML Code:

<? include "THE_LINK"; ?>

Or you can use an IFRAME
For example just pase the following into your html page code. Remember to replace your username in the link:

<iframe
src ="THE_LINK"
width="450" target="_blank"
frameborder=0 height="160"

>
</iframe>

MORE OPTIONS

The above is free and you may use the code on your websites as you wish, you may also tell your friends and they may use it, We do offer the full version of the script that will allow you to have all the search options that ebay advanced search offers so you could put links on your site with specific keywords, ended listings only, listings with paypal and indeed anything the ebay advanced search feature has to offer. ALSO the full version of the script allows you to put your ebay affiliate tracking code in so all click thrus to ebay from those listings displayed on your sites will be credited as your ebay referral.. and cookies make prizes as I say!!

You can find the full version in my ebay shop or by clicking on the small link in the top right corner of the free version of this cool script.

ENJOY and I hope this has given you something interesting today!
