ebay shop feeds

Submitted by steveb on Fri, 2009-03-06 15:21 in

Hi

Has anyone processed ebay shop feeds before

First problem is price which has no format:

<rx:CurrentPrice xmlns:rx="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">1050</rx:CurrentPrice>

so appears as £1050.00

Second Problems is image url is burried in description code:

<table border="0" cellpadding="8"><tr><td><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ryobi-Universal-Tool-Bag-4-UTB4-Brand-New_W0QQitemZ320347022725QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SILF:GB:102"><img border="0" src="http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/320347022725_0.jpg"></a></td>

Third problem I am having is there are no category fields and item name and part number is burried in title code:

<![CDATA[ Bosch Angle Grinder GWS 20-230H 110v ( GWS20-230H )

Each shop mixes up the part numbers, item names and makes in different orders in the title

Hi Steve,

Could you perhaps email me a link to your site and the filename of an example feed of this type, and i'll download it from your /feeds/ folder to my test server and try it out. I can see how to handle the price (divide by 100 filter) and I'll also look into how the other fields are represented to see if there's anything that can be done...!

Cheers,
David.

Hi David
I am trying to develop a power tool comparison site

I am still much in development stage so I have not published the site yet.

I have not registered with any affiliate sites yet either as they all request you provide the site URL so it's a bit chicken and egg.

the only feeds I can find that don't require registering with affiliates are from ebay shops: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Power-Tools-4U__W0QQ_armrsZ1

http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedName=StoreItems&siteId=3&language=en-GB&output=RSS20&storeId=94600924

If you could point me towards or send me some sample feeds that I can use to develop the site with before I register with affiliates I would be very grateful

Steve

Hi Steve,

Certainly - i've tracked down a couple of DIY merchant feeds that both have power tools (I searched them for Black & Decker!) - i'll email you the details now...

Cheers,
David.
