Examples of feedcommerce - eBay
Product search
search for any product using feedcommerce
Ebay offers product search results via RSS feeds with the user receiving feed updates whenever new products appear that match their search. Consumers can create a custom personalised RSS feed that will deliver the results of your eBay search to you via any RSS reader. Since eBay has integrated the RSS support with advanced search pages, you'll have complete control over how you narrow down your search.
Here's an example product search for a Nintendo WII using eBay in the UK. Open up the link in your feed reader of choice to see the types of offers available.
eBay stores
Alan Lewis, eBay Technical Evangelist and Blogger, had this to say when eBay launched RSS for stores:
With eBay Stores that enable RSS, you can now subscribe to a feed of the newest items listed in that store. PetriFinds is one of the stores that has turned on the feature already, and you can see the RSS link at the bottom of the store page.

Affiliates & RSS feed generator
The eBay RSS Feed Generator is an easy way for affiliates to generate RSS feeds that include trackable links to items. The RSS Feed Generator has been embedded into eBay Advanced Search and allows affiliates to create feeds that meet predefined search criteria.
Widgets
The eBay To Go Widget lets users and affiliates embed information about any listing or group of listings directly into a website.
Desktop widget (San Dimas)
The eBay desktop widget (codenamed San Dimas) is another example of distributed ecommerce to the desktop. The eBay desktop application enable occasionally connected use, customised content views, and a branded experience that can act as a platform for closer relationships with customers. Once click away from eBay on your desktop.
