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.

I accept that, it will be really helpful for those guys who are not familiar with ebay.Thanks.
Yeah, I was encouraged by the prospects of this plugin – unfortunately my application to the eBay affiliate/partner program was denied.
did you know text is overlapping pics and nothing is readable here from ebay?
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.
Thanks for sharing your different ideas.
can you sell your affiliate products in ebay?
Wow this looks like a cool plugin, I must check it out and use it!
Thanks for the info about the ebay plugin for wordpress. I hope the people that develop these plug ins for wordpress, don't switch to making aps for iphone. Keep those wordpress plug ins coming.
