Aequitas: man, your RealVMS plugin was the inspiration for this plugin! Thanks for the suggestions above. Currently I build the links (carried over from rss solutions), but I'll look at the API to see if there's a better way to have the aff link returned. I had a drop down for EPN or PJN - but since I never heard from either PJN or an affiliate in EPN via PJN I wasn't able to test it - so I removed it. I'll get those added in the next version along with international support.

I'll definitely be submitting to the Compatible Application Check. That will allow me to give people the option of NOT having to apply for a developer id (although i would still recommend it, since I'll be limiting to fewer than 5000 calls per user).

The 5000 call limit on the eBay APIs thats only before you pass the app check, once you pass the app check they boost that limit up to 1.5 million calls per day which is a huge increase.

With the API all you do when you return results is plugin the users campaign id and network id (Those of which I listed above) and then the URLs returned by the APIs are automatically populated with those links.

There is a tremendous amount you can do with the eBay APIs once you start digging into them, one of my newest developments with the API is The Auction House which simply enables sellers to list there eBay auctions on Facebook.

Now the app I linked too isn't suited for what I'm about to say but your's might be, if you know anything about the Facebook API, what you can do with your app is integrate it with Facebook pages as well which will enable your users to automatically have an auction appear on there Facebook page the second its added to there Wordpress post.

I noticed in your video demo you give the users a way to add the auctions to there post and the site is targeted to a particular vehicle, well if the user also has a Facebook fan page setup for that particular vehicle they can show auctions using the API in that Facebook page as well, that way all the fans of that page can see targeted auctions on the topic without ever having to visit an additional website.

Thats just a thought, I'm just tossing around idea's but I think I'm starting to hi-jack your thread a little too much so I'll stop posting these things around here but I'm always looking at tossing around ideas with people when it comes to the eBay API so if your interested hit me up on MSN ( phpadam@live.com ).

I used to have AIM but after a recent computer upgrade I haven't got around to installing it again lol.
 


hi-jack away... this thread is dead. it's about an expired presale. lol! i'll wait until v1.x to start a new thread. i think most wfer's interested in the product ordered presale time.

sweet ideas man... you're about to get some mail! :D and just to clarify - my point is that i will still recommend and leave the feature in there for users to apply for and use their own app id (thus getting 5000 calls a day) while I will go about trying to get approved for the 1.5 million calls - but I probably will cap users who opt not to get their own key at 1000 calls a day or something so that I can spread the calls across all who have opted to not get their own.
 
not worthy of it's own post yet... but 1.0.1 has been released to a2p subscribers for BETA testing. subscription includes lifetime free upgrades / support. so I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

the real cool thing is the a2p theme pack that's now available for download. you can install the theme, and bang - works right out of the box with the auction2post install. check out a few of the themes in action here: http://beetleclassic.com

this is pretty sick - two ways of using it, activate full automation theme or the "do no harm" theme. difference is the automation theme just publishes everything sequentially whereas the "do no harm" version allows you to continue to use the theme as you would normally, but if it sees it's an a2p post, it does all the image resizing and everything that you need for the post to play nice with others.

Added the following features to the v1.0.1 release (with more planned before the 1.1 release).

Added international support for all eBay websites. (select country in General Settings)

Option to Save Posts as Drafts instead of default publishing

Option to set maximum image downloads per post (if your theme only uses two images and you don't use [gallery] - limit your image download to two - save space on your hosting and time in script execution)

Option to set random time stamps on posts and an hour range offset.

How about you try your local welfare office. I hear they give free handouts there?
 
Yea the plugin rocks and the templates make it even better..Have you thought about amazon any doing the same thing or even intergrating it with this so that you can mix epn and amazon stuff for even more unique content

Thanks
 
yeah there are some pretty cool things that I'm doing on my sites right now showing dual products - be sure to read the api terms you agreed to when signing up - you need to keep that content separate somehow... but a <hr/> can do that... am I going to make it a part of auction2post? that i don't know. might make a complementary product that uses the amazon api but works w/ a2p and the two can share info...

in the mean time check this out:
Amazon Machine Tags Plugin for WordPress Learning the World

oh - yeah. pretty awesome stuff.
 
Yea didn't mean to put it in the same post. I use a amazon plugin to add posts along with the auctions so you get 2-3 auctions and 2-3 amazon posts. Mixes the site content up so you get more content as they have different descriptions than the auctions makes your site more unique. Also makes it so goog does not look at it as a auction site only becomes more of a ecomerce type site.
 
I'm not sold on these Amazon content creators - of course I'm biased - but for every one product you have one description - but w/ eBay for every one product (at least every one product that amazon would be selling) you have multiple - often dozens - of different unique product descriptions.

Main issue is that anyone can get into Amazon aff program and eBay has been more difficult as of late. Grr. Not that it's impossible to get into ePN - lots of people doing it daily.

I want to buy your a2p plugin today, but was just cut loose from amazon and wondering if epn may do the same thing as I live in NC. Anyone know if that could also happen ?

ANYTHING can happen... anything. Buy the plugin, get some sites indexed... if you get cut - create a biz in another state - read some of the other threads around here on how to get around it... but go buy the plugin. lol!
 
Damn! How'd I miss this thread for so long? Oh well, I'm buying at full price now.

Note to self: Check out other folders occasionally instead of focusing on boob threads so much!
 
breathing life in to this stale old thread has been quite profitable. lol! thanks for picking up the plugin!

added a few more themes to the theme pack - a2p Theme Pack - themes work w/ a2p right out of the box. $29 upgrade after picking up the plugin. Makes for rolling out sites stupid easy and crazy fast. should have them uploaded tonight.
