iGoogle, Yahoo, Amazon and YouTube all have widgets.  Finally, eBay has one too.  Widgets have been around for years and are often described as a gadget, module or snippet and uses JavaScript or Adobe Flash. Ebay launched their widget in March of 2007 using Adobe Flash. eBay hoped to persuade social network users like MySpace and also bloggers to discuss famous listings like the Harry Reid/Rush Limbaugh letter that recently sold for 2.1 million.

After some BETA testing with the Blog’s, “eBay To Go” is now a tool tool as part of their recently launched affiliate program. With five different widgets to choose from you are sure to find one that will display dynamic affiliate listings, search results, eBay store items or items from your favorite seller.

Of the five different “eBay To Go” widgets, the Search Widget is a great choice. With the Search Widget you can enter your favorite search term or a search term that will match the content of your web page and display live auction items. Search Widgets display 45 small images. A users can then mouse over the small image to take a peak at slightly larger image, then click on the image to preview the auction item without ever leaving your site. Previews include all the standard eBay auction information, such as title, time remaining, current bid, shipping cost, view the sellers ID, view the high bidders ID, number of bids and with the “View Bid” button go to the eBay landing page for that item. At the bottom of the widget users can also carry out a search.

Great for blog’s and web sites and will only be current the life of the auction which is usually 7 to 10 days. After 120 days, all eBay item records expire, using a search term the widget remains active.
• Multiple Item Widget - This widget displays up to 10 different eBay auction items, has the same features as the single item and uses a slide show to display the different items. Great for blog’s and to promote your own items on a web site.
