I am building an online tool where users will be? able to register for alerts.
One form will collect the info (and write to db):
1. eMail address
2. Name
3. Search string
4. zip code?
5. Max price they're willing to pay
6. Frequency of email alerts (weekly or daily)
A confirmation email is sent out to activate the alert.
The second part is a daily job that creates personalized listings and mails them out, using a simple template, and a link to unsubscribe.
Added:
The listing should include the eBay auctions that fit the search string, a given category id, zip code +50 miles radius and less than max price:
1. Auction headline
2. Current bid
3. No reserve, Buy it now etc.
4. Coded link to live auction page through site (i.e. [login to view URL])
5. image if available
This will probably require access to eBay's API. They allow free? access for individuals at [login to view URL]
Language: PHP
Database: MySQL
## Deliverables
The listings should include our eBay affiliate code.
