You can use the Super Search gadget to perform advanced searches for eBay auctions and fixed-price store items. It runs as a component on your iGoogle home page. It can also be deployed directly on your own web page.
Super Search features the ability to search all eBay categories or only a given category, to search titles and descriptions, to search English and foreign-language eBay sites, and to search auctions and fixed-price store items. Results can be sorted by listing date or ending date.

Here are some other useful features of the Super Search gadget:
- Listing and ending times & dates are shown for the time zone of your choice.
- When sorting by ending date, the time until the end of the auction is shown as well as the ending date itself. The time is highlighted in red if there is less than one hour remaining.
- Prices are highlighted in green. International currency symbols are used.
- Foreign currency bid amounts are also shown converted to U.S. dollars.
- The number of items shown per page can be adjusted by setting a preference.
- Every other row is color highlighted to improve readability. Any one of seven different colors can be selected.
- The label Fixed Price identifies items where there is no competitive bidding. They may be purchased immediately.
- The label Make Offer identifies items where the seller is willing to consider offers less than the asking price.
- The label Live Auction identifies an auction which also receives bids from floor bidders at a traditional public auction.
- The label Buy It Now [price] identifies auction items which may be purchased immediately. This option goes away when someone places a bid (for an amount at least meeting the reserve price, if any).
