that's the problem ..

php code is first ...
javascript (client side) is second ....

the issue is that the javascript (2part of the code) calls eBay, and eBay
can be slow outputting.
therefore,
would rather show php output first (flush it), then display javascript 2nd -
if it takes 20 secs to render - who cares, at least user has something to
look at first!
