Simple Ebay Integration

Hello,

Just thought I'd post this, I've searched for a CP compatible plugin for listing eBay feeds for a while and there's nothing available out-of-the-box. Currently the Auction2Post plugin doesn't work without some heavy modification and the man to speak to about that is http://forums.appthemes.com/members/appouser/ see this recent thread... http://forums.appthemes.com/problems...y-feeds-27998/

However if you don't want to spend your cash on a plugin and spend more again on a developer to modify it to work with CP, then I've simply created a new page and then some sub-pages for the auction niches. Then simply convert the eBay RSS feed into html and dropped this straight into a page.

An example can be seen here http://www.bikeandscooter.co.uk/live...rbike-auction/

As you can probably tell, I'm not a developer or programmer, and I've done this using free tools at http://feed2js.org/index.php?s=build that enable fast and flexible RSS to HTML conversion, then I've tweeked the CSS to make it look a little nicer. You can display as many items as you like, i've limited it to 10 (sorted by ending soonest to keep new content arriving). This feed is linked to my eBay Partner Network affiliate ID so hopefully, when I eventually launch this site it might make some extra affiliate revenue.

There, a quick and free way to list eBay RSS on your pages, cold probably do the same with Amazon, not tried it yet. It isn't rocket science but it may be useful for somebody else with little or no programming skills.

Any facebook 'Likes' will be reciprocated - Thanks
