Within AW and I am thinking within my default auction text:

How can I build a link within my auction listing text for buyers to hit to view my other auction listings?

I have looked at the properties of others that do this but don't know which 'text' to use, e.g:

First line;

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw0cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?

Second line:
ViewListedItems&userid=xxxxxxxxx&include=0&since

Which 'line' do I use w/i my text?

Bring up your seller list in your browser, and copy the entire url. The two lines you show in your post is actually that line.

Here's an example of the line:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=username&include=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25

There isn't a real line break when you write the HTML code for the link, it is "broken" when pasted in here.

Meya: Many thanks reply and help! Guess I will need a little 'walk-through' if you can spare the time:

1. "Bring up your seller list.../..":
The Ebay list or the AW list? All of this is done AFTER you have loaded your auctions?

2. Can you add the 'URL text' within your default text you maintain on AW?

3. It appears from the URL you gave me that "....../..2&rows=25" is saying to fetch up 25 auctions? (This relates to question No. 1, above.

4. OK, you cut-and-paste the all-auctions list to where do you paste it?

Many thanks for any further help,

Mike Bragassa

Bring up your Seller List on eBay. There don't have to be any auctions currently listed, the link or url won't change.

I don't use AW, so I'm unsure about putting the link in the Default Text...I don't see why that wouldn't work though.

Yes, the mention of "25" is to show up to 25 per page, which is the way mine is set up. I used my seller list (with my user name omitted).

You don't just cut and paste this into your auction text. You could, but it wouldn't be "clickable" which is what I assume you want. You need to use HTML, like this:

<A HREF="http://www.hereiswhereyoupastetheurl">Please click here to see my auctions</A>

From this HTML, you will see on the page the words "Please click here to see my auctions" and it will be "clickable" to your seller list. Make sure you include the "" before and after the url to your seller list.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Meya: I think I can handle..that..much!

I have quite a few 'followers' and several have recommended this as it is easier for them rather than going to "Search", etc..

But they don't have to go to search etc...
Ebay already provides a link to view your other auctions on every auction page. All they have to do is click View seller's other Auctions.

While it is true that Ebay does provide the View Sellers other Items link, I have my own link set to view up to 200 items on one page so people don't have to click through endless pages to see it all.

I know when I am viewing someone else's I always use search so I can get them all in on one page.
