eBay Adds Blog-Friendly Widgets

by Joshua Fruhlinger on April 30, 2007 at 04:00 PM


Always a little late to the party (but getting things done right), eBay has finally come up with a way for bloggers, sellers and publishers to embed auctions in their sites. Called eBay To Go, the new service creates Flash-based widgets for auctions of interest, whether they're your own auctions or wacky auctions you want to point people to on your blog.

The process is simple: Choose a template, enter your data (search term or auction ID), then copy and paste the code into your post or site. You should be good to go. eBay offers three templates to choose from - a single auction, multiple items, or a search result. It's incredibly easy and quick -- the widget we have embedded above (for all auctions matching "iPhone") took us no more than 10 seconds to generate.
