Hi -I am redoing my listings and would like to put a search box directly in the listing to try to get away from the ebay search box mess. Some time ago, you had put the code for one and I can't find it now. I thought I saved it, but guess not. If it's not too much trouble, it would be much appreciated. TIA

Hi ! Lady, I just emailed you the code with your store search box. Don't know if you are keeping your store after the fee hike or not but it will work until you decide anyway. You can use the search by seller's items box when/if you decide to cancel (next post).
dd731 - the sample I posted was for a STORE search box (though I think I can work out one for seller's other items) - is that what you are looking for? If you want to email me moodymommy at AOL with your ebay user name I can email you the code for a store search box.

OK I have search box for "sellers other items":
<!-- Start search box --><table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="5" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="295"><tbody><tr><td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top"> <form name="search" method="get" action="http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ****QQhtZ-1QQfrppZ200QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0?
"><font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="4"> Search <b>My Other Items</b></font> <br><input name="MfcISAPICommand" value="GetResult" type="hidden">
<input name="seller" value="****" type="hidden">
<input name="fp" value="0" type="hidden"><input name="query" maxlength="200" size="20" type="text"> <input value="Search" type="submit"><br><input name="srchdesc" value="y" checked="checked" type="checkbox"><font size="2">
Search titles <b>and</b> descriptions</font></form></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<!-- End search box -->
EDITED OOPS you have to insert your user name in TWO places:
1) I have astericks in this string:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ****QQhtZ - just put your user name where the astericks are
2)I have astericks in this part of the string: "seller"value="****" replace the astericks with your user name (Make sure you leave the quotes in)
This will give you a yellow box, search display 200 hundred items and it searches title and description.

You can change the box color by putting a different code near the beginning of the string: < table bgcolor="****" (make sure you leave in the quotes and add the # signs as shown)
Colors:
Light Slate Blue: #DEE7ED
Light Dusty Rose: ##F2D9EB
Light Gray: #E8E3E7
Hot Pink: #FF99C2
Burnt Gold: #F0B275
Bright Blue: #7D92E8

Here is an example of the search box in slate blue - I added other words to the box - you can edit the HTML to add whatever you want in the text part of the box or paste in HTML text editor (I just use the Vendio listing box)
