Accessing eBay Stores with RSS?

    Can the eBay RSS feeds access eBay stores?

    Is there some trick I'm missing setting up my RSS feeds?
    Because there are items that don't show up, but I see them with eBay.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance....

    From what I know there isnt a way to access store items through the RSS feeds. I ended up leaning how to use eBay's api to access store items and havent looked back since. It is a big step up in programming and learning curve going with eBay's api, but it more than worth it with the amount of data you can retrieve.

    They are correct, stores cannot be access via RSS and you must use the API.

    Having said that, is you are looking to build a store, I'm getting ready to beta test my software that uses the API instead of RSS. At the moment it isn't setup to do stores, but it would be fairly simple to incorporate it if there is enough interest.

    I'm working on templates at the moment and should be ready in a few days. I'll post something here at DP for those who are interested.

    You can choose "From specific sellers (enter sellers' user IDs)" and get the sellers items via rss??
