A place where you can find stuff to buy. They've implemented it badly though and it's too damn difficult as a retailer to export your data to them. I was supposed to do this for a customer last year but gave up after several hours work. They also went and changed the XML spec on me after I'd already created an implementation... > It looks like a crap(tm) oscommerce implementation for crap.. (tm) > I had thought it was going to be something like pricespy I had thought that's what it was going to be originally but it fails. There are very few products that are actually available at multiple retailers which make comparisons impossible. If I were them I would have approached one retailer type at a time (eg electronics) and made sure I had as many retailers in that type on the site and then get the next lot. But they just started off with the remnants of the Xtra shopping channel and it doesn't look like it's gotten much further than that. > Bah its not my sort of thing > > /me goes and bids on crap from trademe instead -- Chris Hope | www.electrictoolbox.com | www.linuxcdmall.com |
