    Go to affiliates.ebay.com click on tools, click on editor kit and click on create a kit (something like that). You can set a bunch of options, colors etc. and it creates the code for you to put on your page(s).

    It is probably done using the eBay API.

    Hiyya!

    If your looking for a "out of the box" script to do this for you.

    Then check out Build A Niche Store.

    It's done using the eBay RSS feed.

    Once you've got the rss link, you can change the look of it.

    Examples: here and here

    I know Build A Niche store is probably good. But you can do exactly the same thing with a couple of lines of php.

    Here's a tutorial I wrote a few months ago.

    good for you but there are many others here that don't have that talent (I'm one of them).

    I just don't like spending money on stuff I can learn.
    If you learn to do it yourself, you can save the money twice - you're practically getting paid to learn, and spending nothing to learn it.

    TonyRocks wrote a better tutorial than me a while ago, it's here

    I disagree Kerosene...try putting together a Trading Store like this one:

    http://www.tradingcardcentral.com/sports_cards/ebay/

    Or a Cars For Sale store like this one:

    http://www.insidercarsecrets.com/cars-trucks-for-sale/

    Without Build A Niche Store it would take you a long long time.

    Build A Niche Store is a tool and like most tools it aims to remove a large part of the manual work (including technical knowledge) and speed up the overall process.

    This is what it does and you get to do it inside a community which has been built to assist that development.

    I believe the original question was
    Which can be done with a few line of php

    I do agree with you though, Build A Niche Store has a lot of stuff going for it if you don't want to get into the nitty gritty of php and rss.

    lol...it's my product...so I am a little biased!

    If you have any questions about using it send me a pm.

    I hadn't meant to hijack the thread but wanted to comment on what I felt was not a fair representation of what Build A Niche Store enabled you to do.

    On that first link, the BANS is not working right. At least when I go to that site, it's not right.

    ------------

    Thank you to the person that posted the free tutorial also.

    Both concepts are good depending on what you want to do.

    I agree with both sides in the thread. Use an off-the-shelf product like BANS, which looks great BTW. But once you are up and running, spend some timing learning how it works. A little PHP goes a long way and pays off for those who have the desire to learn.

    Here's a custom eBay PHP site I built from scratch: http://www.worldgemguide.com/

    Good luck,
    Ty

    It's up and running again now...I think the eBay RSS was having some problems earlier.


    That's a great example of what you can do as an eBay affiliate...looks like the program is really going to take off this year.
