• If you want to feed ads from 1 website, you can get conent of that webiste using php and select title, desc etc.
• you need to edit those listings, since you would be only copier
• if you use cron to get it, you will be marked from google as website with no original conent => no more people from google
• basic skills in php and osclass are needed

I think ad importer should be used when you migrate classified website... but I still can imagine this plugin:

• you will enter websites you want feed listings
• you will set frequency (cron) how often it will check for new listings
• plugin will modify description and title to avoid duplicating content
• problem would be selecting correct category, location and upload images
