    Hey,

    I have seen on a few websites that they have their ebay listings appear on their website and it auto updates and such.

    How could I setup so I could display all my ebay listings?

    This is an affiliate marketing question.

    When you signup with the eBay affiliate program, you grab code to place keyword specific auction listings on your site.

    You can also use the eBay rss feeds to achieve the same thing.

    Signup to the eBay program through CJ.com

    No I don't want to use an affiliate scheme, I want to just display my own auctions on my site so am guessing it would use RSS then.

    Wha do I need to do to display my RSS on my site?

    If the system allows you to filter the listing to yourself via the affiliate scheme why not get paid an affiliate referral fee as well as selling the item?

    To show RSS you just need a script to consume the feed - fairly simple to do and many free ones about depending on which language your site is programmed in.

    Is the Bluenote solutions site yours? Slightly worried that someone advertising "a professional website design and web development company providing a full range of web services" doesnt know how to consume RSS on a site (plus again, the site is breaking laws on not having its physical address, if it is a company it must have its company status/ vat number etc)
