eBay WordPress Plugin From Affomatic

By Vlad Zablotskyy December 23, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My friend Mark from Digital Product Reporter is at it again, coding and having some fun…. This time with WordPress of all things. Who knows maybe he will come around to fall in love with the best blogging platform out there.

Mark recently have release a neat little eBay plugin for WordPress, and I think eBay “junkies” can appreciate it. I have not been an affiliate with eBay until I got my hands on Mark’s plugin so I will probably offer no opinion on how this plugin can be improved.

Once installed on your WordPress, plugin pulls in the latest auctions from eBay by keywords specified by you. It displays the eBay items starting from the auction to end the soonest. Once an auction is completed it moves the item is replaced by the next auction in line. So on many levels this is a sort of “set it and forget it” plugin- as it continues to do the work for you without you giving it any attention.

Below you can see the plugin in action for keyword “Wii console”. As you can see it does very good job. One recommendation I would offer mark is to explain to users how they can modify, hopefully through CSS, the output of the data this plugin is displaying. As it may not exactly fit your theme’s design. Otherwise I find this plugin really cool, if nothing else it got me to sign up for eBay affiliate program.

Yeah, I was encouraged by the prospects of this plugin – unfortunately my application to the eBay affiliate/partner program was denied.

Yes I seen that. I think it can be fixed with css but I have not got to it yet, I am not sure I will be using it that much.

Warner, I have noticed that. I think this themes CSS are not quiet compatible with the plugin.
