I know ebay makes a xml file of your store... now is there anyway to make this so that you can show your items and maybe even categories on your website?
If ebay provides an xml file that contains the information you need to show the items and catagories, then all you need to do is parse the xml file. You could insert the contents of the xml file into a database if you prefer that. I have no idea what information is stored in that xml file, and basically the only thing here setting the limits is that file. So if it contains the information you need, then sure it can be done.
There a few easier way to do that. Use the Stores HTML builder, that will create links and will also create a table of items if you'd like. You can also use some of the tools from the eBay partner network. Those will make it easy to do that as well. You can also use an RSS feed reader tool and take the RSS feed from your eBay store. Those are just a few ways. Jeff www.topsellercoaching.com Top Seller Coaching for eBay Sellers
I think I'm looking for the partner network route... just need to find a way to only display my listing and display them within my website content (found a few scripts but they are full store fronts i just want to be able to list all my items and categories i design the site part.)
You probably won't be able to display the store categories automatically. Using the Editors toolkit within the EPN you will be able to limit your results to only you as a seller. That should help. If you want something more custom you would need to use the eBay API to write your own script. Jeff
