Steve Jones has
updated the script he wrote for us to capture eBay items from the link we have
put up on the Classified Advertisements page.
The updated script
now have larger pictures, show the number of bids, the time left for the auction
and a shorter "friendly" link direct to the item to use in email and on forums
which should not break!! Furthermore, Steve has asked if there is anything
else we can think of that we can do to enhance this script for us to let him
know. You can do this by emailing the webmaster here.
