I've created my own auction management software. Is there any way to import end of auction data into my computer?

I read in another thread where someone searched auctions by seller (include closed ones), highlighted the applicable boxes, and copied the data to Excel. You need to make sure you include bidder e-mails for the search. Sorry I don't know where the original thread is, but maybe a search on "Excel" will bring up some good info.

Thanks. That is basically what I am doing now. It's the copying that I want to avoid.

I wonder if we mean the same thing by "copying"?

I should have said to left-click and drag to highlight the applicable cells, right-click within the highlighted cells and select "copy" from the pop-up menu, then go to your Excel worksheet and "paste" what you have just copied. I didn't intend for you to "retype" the info from the seller page into your worksheet!

If you want to interface with eBay so that information is automatically downloaded (or downloaded on demand) to your website or some such thing, you need someone W-A-Y more computer savvy than I!!!

That is the type of copying I'm doing. But my software is in a database and not Excel. So I have to do many copies instead of one. It's almost as time-consuming as typing it in.
