Displays an eBay auction item. Highly configurable. One auction item per module instance. Multiple modules possible. Optional affiliate tracking included. No hidden affiliate trackers! Works on restrictive shared-hosting environments too.

Why is this module useful?

* It offers an easy way of showing your website visitors what you are selling on eBay
* Simple configuration - the minimum is to simply enter the eBay Item number in the module configuration.
* Optionally manages affiliation tracking of your selected eBay auction.
* Use it to direct web traffic to your eBay auction, which means that more people will bid, which in turn means that you can potentially realize a higher final sale value. If you joined an affiliate scheme and have set this up here and this is someone else's auction, then your affiliate proceeds will of course higher as a result.

What does it do?

It displays the following:
* Auction item image
* Description heading text
* Date and Time the auction ends
* Remaining time before auction ends
* Number of bids so far
* Price and currency
* Location and country of item
* Auction status: Active or Completed

It also manages:
* The retrieval of the auction data
* Tracker affiliation

Supports:
* JSON and XML API encoding
* Uses cURL if PHP's file_get_contents does not work (very relevant on shared-hosting servers)
