    Is there any way to ask the programmers of Ebid to help with this? It may be something in the way they are doing the RSS feed that is the problem. I've tried using different javascripts and I also tried Google's program and they all come out looking the same.

    If you use a javascript based display widget (e.g. the RSS module at squidoo) you should be able to get items displayed OK.

    Unfortunately the RSS feeds on eBid are a little "peculiar" and indistry standard parsing scripts will cause all kinds of format errors when you try to display your listings using clear HTML. This has been the case since the feeds were introduced and has all but killed anyones attempts to get the SEO benefits that would come for them (and eBid) with HTML displays rather than Javascript. But, that said, anything is better than nothing cos your next buyer might be visiting your blog in a few minutes time!

    i tried to add the rss feed to my old website but i could never get it too look right

    i managed after lots of tweaking to get it to line up in a list type of thing but i just thought it looked too messy so gave up and built a new site with a new host lol
