RSS is a great tool to make sure you can keep on top of new events without having the continually poll a stack of websites in your browser. One such example might be if you are keeping your eyes peeled for some bargain auctions on eBay but would get pulled up for having eBay on your screen at work within view of the big wigs. Fortunately, you can get around this by subscribing to an RSS feed associated with an eBay search.
So how do you do it?
All you need to do is go to eBay and search for whatever it is that you are after. Once you are on the page with listings matching your criteria, simply scroll to the bottom of the page.

You should see an orange RSS link at the bottom. From here, it’s a simple right click on the RSS link and then choosing the option to copy the link. Then, add the RSS link to your favourite RSS reader (I use Outlook 2010).

The same should work for eBay searches that have no active listings so you can be ready to pounce when an auction does appear in the future.
