Add an auction-listing widget to your web site with eBay To Go, a new service unveiled today.
eBay users and non-users alike can quickly generate one of three kinds of widgets: a single item; up to 10 items; and a search query (which displays picture results). The widgets themselves are attractive, informative and thoroughly dynamic: Mousing over certain areas reveals more information, and you can even conduct an eBay search using the widgets' built-in search tool. Once you've built your widget (an extremely easy four-step process), eBay To Go provides the code you need to paste it onto your site. It also offers step-by-step instructions for embedding the widget into Blogger, MySpace, LiveJournal and other popular spots.
Curiously, eBay seems to be positioning the service as a fun way to spotlight interesting auctions, not a marketing tool—but sellers will no doubt adopt it for the latter purpose. Either way, it's a decidedly worthwhile widget.
