I don’t use Twitter that often but people use Tiny URL on Twitter all the time because of the 140 character limit per Twit. Seeing this made me think what if I used it to shorten Ebay Feed URI? It was worth a try. So I went to TinyUrl.com and pasted my monster Ebay RSS URL in the transform box and got a tiny url to put in the
[ feedsnap] shortcode [ /feedsnap] Now the plugin shows the feed. And I am happy again.
This reminds me of another Ebay related rss problem. Finding the rss button at the bottom of my Ebay Advanced search result pages. I just couldn’t find it! I asked Ebay support. Got back some whiffle about clearing my cookies and cache. Turns out I was using the Beta Advanced Search. I opted out of this and now I can find the RSS button at the bottom of my advanced searches.
