    I wonder if a BANS store needs a database to work?

    Thanks Kerosene. Actually I'm looking for a solution to collect ebay RSS feeds without having to use a database.

    Do you mean store/archive the info from the feeds, or just cache them?

    Well I'm not sure. I don't know how these things work, but I'd like it to work similar way like with BANS.

    Yeah, it requires eBay API.

    You may also want to combine API with other dataabse (eg. youtube vid, Amazon feeds) to make your sites more unique (make more $ too :D)

    cheers,

    You can also just use the eBay RSS feed with a parser (e.g lastRSS). You can either have each page load pull in a new feed from eBay to populate your site, or you can cache the results for a specified time to reduce page load times.

    Here's a simple tutorial that tonyrocks wrote (with my help :))
