Random Ebay Listing Portal

OK, Im on creating an Ebay forum and I thought "wouldn't it be nice to have a random listing displayed on my forum"

I thought there was sure to be a html code that displays a completely random listing from www.ebay.co.uk but I cant find one.

So I was wondering if you could create a portal which I could add to my forum which would display a completely random ebay listing from www.ebay.co.uk each time someone visits my forum.

Thanks. u1bd2005.

it's not possible to show a wide listing, it would have to be category specific:

for example:
http://music.listings.ebay.co.uk/...QQsatitleZQQsocmdZListingItemList

I'm not even sure that's even workable into a portal.

I have however, hijacked their search function, to allow your members to do a search on ebay through a portal, this will open the results page in a new tab/window, the code is done to suit subsilver based templates:

Code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="forumline" align="center">
  <tr>
   <th colspan="1" width="150" height="25" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">Search Ebay</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td class="row1" colspan="1" height="28">
<form method="get" action="http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll" name="headerSearch" target="_blank"><input name="satitle" value="Search for items...." maxlength="300" size="30" type="text"><input value="Search" type="submit"></form>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
