How do I create a page to automatically insert specific fields in the search
bar of Ebay?

Ah worked it out; probably an obvious one!

"http://search.ebay.com.au/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksi d=m37&satitle="
& etc....

How did you do it? I'd like to learn that.

Thanks

Create custom web page in web search viewer:
"http://search.ebay.com.au/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksi d=m37&satitle="
& whatever fields you would like it to search! I tried to get it to search a
particular category (musical instruments) but no dice. If you have any luck
with that one, let me know!
Cheers,

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but, I use
search.ebay.com/{whateverI'mlookingfor} or search.ebay.com.au/{whateverI'm
lookingfor}
and I get results. You could also do it with buy.ebay.com.au and get Buy It
Now listings. So, if you wanted to automate it from your solution, you
could create a calculation similar to this one I use for google maps...

I created a calc field... (Do Not Store, results...text)
"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & ship1rec address book1::shiprecaddress1
&" " & " + " &ship1rec address book1::shiprecCity1 & " " & " + " &
ship1rec address book1::shiprecState1 &" " & "" & ship1rec address
book1::shipreczip1 & " " & " + " & "USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title"

The I created a script...

Open Url(no dialog, googlegetadd1)

And placed a button under the ship1recaddress field.

Click the button and right to google maps for that address you go.

Yours should be even simpler. Just an "Instrument" field and a concatenation
of the url in a calc and one button.


Kinda hokey, but it works. :)
