No this, would be awesome! Unfortunately I have no idea whatever how to help with this, but it would be very welcomed and useful.

without any widget or ui implementation you could write a script which logs into ebay and gets the data. for this you'll need wget for fetching the website and sed for cut out the relevant data from the html-file. if this is working you can display the output of the script with an instance of desktop command execution widget. ^^

Hmm, good idea... i used "desktop command execution widget." to get my stock updates....works great.

Ops! I think i know where to look, let me checkout the lynx user guide first :>

No eBay widget, but there are mobile versions of eBay for smaller screens such as:

i think it's very hard with one commandline...
sure it's possible (but that would be a very cryptic or if not cryptic very long line *G*)

the script would contain something like:
Code:
WGETOUT=$(wget -o /dev/null -O- --load-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" http://ebay.com/$bidding-site)
and some sed to get the interesting data

Thanks!! will explore more!!! U da man!

Edit:

Yup this is possible and tested working, just need a lots lots of sed, grep and cleanup of the output ... Well after reading more the lynx user guide.... Just try out some command and I managed to get the Current Bid: value from ebay.

I used the alternative way... such as this simple and quick command to get the value and test the output....

lynx -dump $url_to_the_ebayitem | grep bid:

and i get the bid value....YES!!!

now I am putting it into a script and to the desktop comand widget.. and I get the value too. another Yes!.

SInce I dont have much time today... will work on more later.

MAN! linux/Maemo is really powerful, i can never do that on my old WinMo 6.5 phone hahahahahaa Go! N900!!!
