Check Out Cool eBay ToGo Widgets
Written by ShopOne on May 7th, 2007 in News & Reports.
eBay has this new widget that lets users embed item listing (single item, multiple items, search results) on their web pages, social network web pages and blogs. A la YouTube embedding.
Note that this is not a money making deal. Not this type and not this type. The main purpose of the widget is to generate discussion about a chosen eBay item. Just to have fun really. Saw some nice stuff and you want to let others find out about this, use this cool widget.
But for an eBay seller that has a blog, this can also be used as a marketing tool. Only, negative point is, since eBay item database stores listings only for about 120 days, after that, your chosen items will no longer show up. Search results for your chosen keywords will be dished out by the eBay widget.
But who knows, after a while, eBay will decide to include a selection, where you could pick the seller. That is, eBay ToGo widget will show items from certain seller.
BTW, anyone can use the widget. Yes, even non-eBay members.
The great great news is that, it works with eBay.ph listed items. Try it out. I did. See embedded flash widget below.
