Scripts and codes to make your life easier.

eBay Tools:: Put Your eBay Auctions On Your Webpage; This amazing and simple script will put your eBay auctions onto your webpage. The best part is that they are automatically updated so that they always show your current auctions.; eBay Fee Calculator; This is a comprehensive calculator for calculating all of your eBay and PayPal fees and costs. It includes options for postage, shipping, handling, and consignment fees!; Postage Calculator; This calculator will display the shipping cost to ship to each zone using USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Very useful for basic cost comparison; Negative/Neutral FB Search; This search function will display an eBay user's Negative and Neutral Feedback. This makes it easy to check their credability out before you bid.; Keyword Generator; Do you use an image for a discription? If you do you may be losing sales because you are not showing up in keyword searches. Most bidders find their items using eBay's keyword search. Use this tool to generate a list of words that are in your discription.
HTML Tools:: Free Webpages; Do you want a webpage? Here you can set up an account and create a webpage for free. There are some simple terms (no hate material, pornography, etc) and a small banner ad at the top of the pages. That's it! Nice, eh?; Link Generator; An easy to use generator that will do the work for you! It makes clickable URL links, links to your eBay auctions or store, and email links. It will even Obfuscate your email addresses so that spamers can't get the address out of the code!; HTML Generator; A very nifty HTML generator that will help you make simple HTML. It includes all of the special HTML characters like © and £! Very cool!; HTML Table Maker; What can I say? This is a generator for making a table in HTML. It's simple and easy to use. I have a few ideas on improving the generator but I don't know when I'll get around to it.; META Tag Generator; META Tags are important to your webpages. However, they are a pain in the neck. At least I think so. That's why I created this generator. It makes my life easier and I thought you could use it too. Feed those spiders!; HTML Encryptor; One kind of spider that we don't want to feed is the spammer's email harvester. This little program will crawl through your webpage and pick up personal information like your name, email address, phone number, home address, etc....
This tool will encrypt your text so that the spider can't read it. It's also good for hiding the code for your eBay auction descriptions so that it's more difficult for plagiarizers to steal.; SPAM Trap; This tool has no real use, but it does give me a deep sense of satisfaction. Spammers use programs called "spiders" to collect email addresses. This tool will generate a bunch of random email addresses that you can put on your webpage. The more people who do this, the less efficient it will be to spam, and therefore less profitable.; Remove HTML; This tool is useful if you want to extract the plain text out of a HTML document. This will remove all of the tags and leave the text.
Image Scripts:: Image Gallery; This script creates an image gallery like the one that eBay charges you for. However, mine is completely FREE!
See an example of how it would look on eBay here.
Document Scripts:: Tooltip Generator; Is your webpage too large? Is your auction too long? All those bloody terms and conditions taking up space and driving customers away? Use this tool to compress them down into a set of links.
See a simple example here and an eBay example here.
Title Scripts:: These scripts will allow you to control the browser's title bar (the blue bar at the top of the webpage). Each tool supports single and double quotes!; Flashing Title; This script will make a message flash on your title bar. You can have it rotate through several messages or, by leaving every other message blank, have the message flash on and off.; Scrolling Title; This script will make a message scroll past in your title bar.
Statusbar Scripts:: These scripts will allow you to control the browser's status bar (the small bar at the bottom of the webpage). Each tool supports single and double quotes!; Scrolling Statusbar; This script will make a message scroll past in your status bar.; Flashing Statusbar; This script will make a message flash on your status bar. You can have it rotate through several messages or, by leaving every other message blank, have the message flash on and off.; Bouncing Statusbar; This script will make a message bounce back and forth in your status bar. Very attention grabbing!
Alert Scripts:: Welcome Alert; This script alerts the viewer when the page loads. This is particularly good for imparting important information before the viewer sees your page. Examples include "This page contains adult material" or "I accept PayPal, Money Order, and Cash".
