Google doesn't seem to be listing my individual products very well. I
am wondering if it's because it uses a Id in the URL so the urls are
clean for example
/items/12346/mark.aspx
Obviously this number changes quite frequently. My other other option
is to adopt
/items/mark.aspx?id=12345
Then the base URL wouldn't *change.
Other issues include I can't get a sitemap for the whole site as it's
too big.

are you serving canonical urls?
if you have several million pages of content and you are serving that content to several urls each the search engines will give up trying to sort that all out for you.
also, if you have a good information architecture and usable navigation with a quality url structure you should be in good shape to start with.
however, you can provide multiple xml sitemaps, perhaps broken down by category or some other manageable division.
