eBay launches togo widget for the bids on the service

online auction service eBay has announced the launch of a Flash widget applet named ToGo that allows the eBay users to embed their auctions on their blogs and other sites.

EBay claims that this tool is “a fun and easy way for you to share the interesting things you’ve discovered on eBay and personalize your blog, social networking page or website”.

EBay has made available three types of widgets for the users. These are:
1. Showing item information for an auction listing.
2. Showing a slideshow of multiple items.
3. Showing multiple thumbnails related to keyword search queries

The system is open to everyone and is not restricted to people who are actually selling stuff on the online shopping site.

People checking out these widgets would still be required to land on the eBay’s proper website continue to bid on an auction.

Here is a demo widget for Nintendo Wii auctions:
