Hi,

I would like to implement my ebay auctions into my Actinic website.

Can anyone recommend a good script to do this.

Have you considered using the RSS feed option in ebay to send the data and then incorporate a javascript into Actinic. There is a jQuery plugin that will handle a RSS feed, and is very simple to implement.

I did some more work on this using googles RSS feed api and this is the results of about 60minutes work, it needs more css formatting but I was after the principal. To format the text it will need some extra processing.

The feed is a direct feed from an eBay search for 'softbox' in 'category photographic'.

That looks good.

It seems ebay also do something for this:

PS. On the whole though I'd be careful about doing this. You've got the customer on your site and the general idea would be to showcase the products you have there, not send them off to ebay where a) you'll pay commission fees and b) they'll probably search to see what else ebay has on offer.

Have you spoken to Jan at Mole End?

They do an Actinic to eBay mash. They may have a solution for you.

The Ebay Editor Kit allows you to create a piece of code to impliment onto another website to show live listings. I believe you can also customise the appearance. You can then copy this HTML code into an Actinic fragment surrounded by !!< at the start and >!! at the end.

Well that was a lot easier

used it to add a display on http://actinic-test.toddesigns.co.uk/index.html at the bottom of the product display. It could easily be used to display the contents of your own ebay store in an Actinic web site.

In real use it looks like the ebay code is a lot faster than the google code whilst loading, there is a significant delay before the page loads caused by the google api.

For a straight RSS feed the google api will work with Actinic but for eBay stores I would use the eBay editor kit.
