Hi All,

Wondering if

1) Such a thing exists
or
2) If there are any devs who would be willing to have a crack at what i reckon would be quite a handy plugin.

Basically it would query "my ebay" every x minutes and poll the status of your watched items, items for sale and items being bid on etc

And have it run something like the way pocketbreeze has sections that you can expand/collapse for each section.

eg.

+Watched Items
- Item Name Bids Price Time Left
- Item 1 2 £57 2d 5h

+Items Im Bidding on
-

etc etc....

I have searched the forum and google but cant see anything that exists.

THanks

Funy :)

Is there any way mortscript could log into ebay and get this info? Then the data could be put on today via rltoday and registry values.

i would have thought so, not sure how and if you can interface ebay. Sounds possible but i lack the knowlete of mortscript to know.

Willing to do some research into this if there is a dev willing to give it a go.

Now when you're waiting to find out if you've bought an item on auction at eBay, you can be out and about with your phone and receive text updates on the sale. E-mail updates have long existed, but the text option may be preferable if you don't have an Internet-enabled phone, you're already paying for flat-rate texting, or you just find it simpler to read a text than an e-mail on your device.
When you click on the link to receive notices via SMS (text message), you'll be asked to identify your carrier and then put in your phone number: There is a 25-cent fee for up to 10 notices per item. You can set whether you want to receive messages every time there is an alert or only between certain hours.

Once you sign up, eBay will send a text message asking you to reply to confirm your registration. A few more messages will arrive and then you can monitor your bids on the go. When you want to stop receiving the messages, you can simply text "STOP" or go to the Personal Information page within My Account on eBay. Under "Email and Contact Information" unsubscribe from the "Mobile phone number for SMS alerts" option.

Not 100% what you were looking for but not too sure if you can interface with Ebay's API's the way you want to.
