Remember back in 2008 when eBay developed a widget - I think they called it the "To Go Widget"? It displayed sellers' other listings that contained a search term?

I am revising some old listings now and found that the widget still works. Is it eBay legal?

Here is the coding for one that would appear on my Columbus Ohio postcard listings: </span><br>
</div></center><center><br><object height="600" width="600"><param name="movie" value="http://togo.ebay.com/togo/store.swf?2007073001"><param name="flashvars" value="base=http://togo.ebay.com/togo/&amp;lang=en&amp;seller=NEGLUS&amp;query=Columbus OHIO"><embed src="http://togo.ebay.com/togo/store.swf?2007073001" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="base=http://togo.ebay.com/togo/&amp;lang=en&amp;seller=NEGLUS&amp;query=columbus Ohio" height="600" width="600"></object></center>

I wasn't able to link directly to the widget, but here is a listin containing it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151101611339&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

if eBay created it and it is still functional, I would assume it is still legal. It still bears the eBay logo, though the old one.

This has recent questions & answers dated this year so it looks as though it is still 'ready to go'.

Pretty cool! Any thoughts on putting this in your eBay listings?

I did put it in some of my listings. Not sure how it would work with mobile but I am thinking I can make the search terms fit the item viewed so that potential buyers might add on to purchases - much more effective than a scrolling gallery.

I like how it reduces the search to similar keywords, though I still prefer the Vendio scrolling banner that has images.
