    Hello,
    I have used the editors kit to add listing to a website before, is there any disadvantage to using this over the RSS feed?

    Also if i use the editors kit is it possible to remove the ebay logo from the listing?

    Thanks

    Late

    Here are few points
    - with one look your visitor knows that it comes from ebay. very difficult of matching with your site theme.

    - very difficult to be selective. for rss you can be very specific by going through the advance search. since are in the niche zone, the more specific you are the better.

    You can blend the RSS feed into a site so that people don't even realize that you're dropping a cookie.

    It's worth learning how to work with the RSS feed - once you 'get it', the sky's the limit. The EK imho is a waste of everyone's time.

    Another point to consider.. since RSS is embedded into your site is not javascript based, search engine spiders can view the content and keywords within. I primarily use RSS for main eBay content, but sometimes include a side bar box with EditorKit for most watched, etc. When I use EK, I try to blend it as much as possible, no images, etc.
