 Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, the RSS feeds that are increasingly available as eBay tools can help you to use eBay more effectively. If you’ve never used RSS before, now may be a good time to start.
What is RSS?
RSS stands either for “Really Simple Syndication” or for “Rich Site Summary,” depending on who you ask, but at the end of the day RSS is basically both of the following for eBay users:
•If you’re a buyer: RSS is a way of monitoring lots of different “collections” of items on eBay that will interest you—all of the items matching one of your searches, or all of the items sold by a specific seller. You get to choose how these collections are put together and how often you check in on them.
•If you’re a seller: RSS is a way of making your own wares available to buyers as just these kinds of “collections” that they can easily watch. It’s also a way of automatically spreading your current eBay listings around the web and its search engines.
In practical terms, an “RSS feed” is a special link or URL (a web address, in short) that points to one of these kinds of collections for you. You get to create all the collections that you want through eBay, and describe what should be in each collection. eBay then supplies you with a link that will contain the collection in question.
