    Yes, there are a variety of ways including using a 3rd party. However you can also setup your own RSS script on your site. One of the easiest and free scripts is feed2js.org. It's a little script you put on your site somewhere, and use it to feed RSS to your site (or anywhere for that matter).

    Helps when you aren't dependant on a third party. :)

    argothiusz, it works for wordpress and for any kind of site that use php.
    You need of course to know php programming.

    Check out phpBay Pro. On this page, in the center, there is a blue button for some examples that come with the API version, that easily demonstrate how to incorporate various settings.

    You can also try simplepie. they have wp plugin that work ok, and not forgetting its FREE.

    Gtech/phpbay plugin also work fine, and easy to use. one plus side, you can hide the ebay "rover" urls.

    I'm using both.

    @ argothiusz : Read the tonyrocks tutorial that jonixkonios suggested - it works with WP, but doesn't require it. Everything you need to know is there. It's all free, and takes maybe 1-2 hours to work out if you've NEVER used php before - probably about 20 minutes if you know what you're doing.

    All you need is lastrss, and a single php page - it's not a magic trick. :p

    Basic examples:
    pricemagician.com
    realestate.kiimi.com

    Kerosene, is the realestate yours ? I like the layout and the way you hide the rover. I should do that to my site. so it wont look so obvious.

    on different topic, how is your conversion ?

    I coded www.citysoftware.org It uses eBays rss feeds and then outputs them. Is that what you want?

    Yes both sites I listed are mine.

    I've got a few ebay sites (quite a few actually!) - some are going nuts, others are doing nothing. The real estate site has only been up a few weeks, and I'm honestly not expecting much from it. From my experience, big ticket items (land, cars, boats etc) never convert as well as "impulse buy" items.

    Yup, that is what I'm affraid off. I'm working on antique bikes site which fall under the big ticket items :D:D. currently I only have one site about fishing (using wp+simplepie), which has been on line for almost 3 weeks. made few $$ not much, but the traffic keep improving. I've no problem maintaining with this one since it is my hobby.

    need to keep my thinking cap back. need to find more niche.

    @ bujuk: Stick with the fishing site - it should start converting once you get some traffic. I've got a few sites based on hobbies that I'm interested in, and they convert well simply because I know the subject, and enjoy working on the site.

    I take back what I said about big ticket items not selling - I made my first CJ/eBay car sale today! :p

    Thanks for the advice, exactly what I have in mind :D

    Anyway I'll still proceed with the antique bike site, nothing to loose except for few hours of sleep.

    And congratulation for the big ticket item sale. keep up the work.
