    This isn’t tested, just wrote it out real quick. It should at the very least give you the general idea. It assumes that the id will always be the segment of the url after the last /. If thats not the case, this answer will be pretty useless.

    $ebayUrl = "http://www.ebay.com/ctg/TomTom-XXL-550M-US-including-Puerto-Rico-Canada-Mexico-Automotive-GPS-Receiver-/86127922?";
$pos     = strrpos($ebayUrl, '/') + 1;
$id      = substr($ebayUrl, $pos);

//if you want to remove the question mark left at the end
$id      = str_replace("?", "", $id);

echo $id;

    Other alternative could be:

    $parts = explode('/', 'http://www.ebay.com/ctg/TomTom-XXL-550M-US-including-Puerto-Rico-Canada-Mexico-Automotive-GPS-Receiver-/86127922?');
$id = trim(end($parts), '?');
echo $id;

    Depending on where you need to do this, you may be able to use ebayItemID

    e.g. (javascript) var itemid = ebayItemID;

    I’ve used this method to add a ‘buy now’ button to product descriptions.
