I cant find it anywhere.

Can you rephrase what do you need? HTML code? I got listing with my own custom designed button.

You are unable to hijack the buy now button as eBay descriptions are held in an iframe.

I'd also argue that most buyers know where the buy button is on eBay. If you are determied to add a button that says buy now, link it to #top.

You can add, email a friend, add to watch list and the is another I have forgotten currently from within the listing. I do not have the code on the iPad, but I do at home. I'll post the JavaScript and HTML you need later today.

thanks guys The buy it now button is possible though I have seen it many times.

What im after is the html/javascript that will allow me to have a buy it now button in the actual auction lisitng.

Maybe this? Its from my listing`s HTML.

It does seem that the added buy now buttons are no longer working on ebay. The others email friend, add to watch list etc do work.

I have the code for them now...

They DO work. I have live listing where I have two my own BUY NOW buttons.

Rob is certainly right they DO WORK.

Yes, the problem is that you've got the hard-coded item number in there.

The Item number is a javascript var, although last time I looked at this the buy now button wasn't working because it was being held in the listing iframe.

The code for the other options are below:

 <!-- ASQ -->
<script>document.write ("<a href=\""+ ebayAskSellerURL +"\" class='button_links' id='button_links'>As Seller a Question</a>");</script> 

<!-- Tell a Friend -->
<script>document.write ("<a href='http://contact.ebay.co.uk/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowEmailAuctionToFriend&item=" + ebayItemID + "' title='Tell a Friend' class='button_links' id='button_links'>Tell a Friend</a>");</script>

<!-- Watch This Item -->
<script>document.write ("<a href='http://cgi1.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&item=" + ebayItemID + "' title='Watch This Item' class='button_links' id='button_links'>Watch This Item</a>");</script>

<!-- Add Seller to favs -->
<script>document.write ("<a href=\"http://my."+ domain +"/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?AcceptSavedSeller&amp;mode=0&amp;preference=0&amp;sellerid="+ userid +"&amp;ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi."+ domain +"%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%"+ itemid +"&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEFS:ADDVI\">Add Seller to Favourites</a>");</script>
