Adding Auctions using keyword tags:

The easiest way to add auctions to your blog posts and pages is to just add the easy easybay tag in either HTML or Visual Editor modes like this:

Use more keywords for more specific results like this:

Add negative keywords to remove auction results you might not want for better results. In this scenario be careful to make sure there is NO space between the dash – keyword (doing so will eliminate all keywords and bring back no auction results):

Specify default options in Plugin Settings

WP EASYBAY™ Plugin Admin Settings ScreenShots

WP EASYBAY™ Advanced Tag Parameters

In the EasyBay plugin options screen you can set many default values. But what sets WP EASYBAY™ apart from other eBay affiliate plugins is the ability to override or add additional parameters within a blog post or page for laser specific results!! In other words, the settings you initially create in your plugin admin options will apply to all eBay auctions added to posts and pages, BUT – you can override them at any time by using additional parameters in the WP EASYBAY™ tag. Imagine the ability to create separate posts or pages with auctions of different amount, different bids, column and row layout on the same page, or restrict by zip code or country?

Here’s an example of a tag showing 10 auctions with a minimum price of $50, in column layout, restricted only to items for sale in the zip code 90210:

You can add as many parameters as you would like by adding a colon followed by the parameter = value (and then another colon) as in the last example.

Here are the different parameters you may use within EASYBAY tags after keywords (int stands for “integer” or number):
* layout: int (0 (zero) for rows auction layout and 1 (one) for column)
* rows: int (number of rows in auction list, this parameter will override the parameter “Number of rows” in the admin page)
* siteid: int (eBay site ID where to get auction entries from). You can get a list of siteid’s here: http://tinyurl.com/5q77gw
*categoryid:int (eBay category you want to restrict auction display to)  You can get a list of eBay categories for specific countries in plugin admin

* sellerid: int (only list auction entries from this eBay seller ID)
* excludesellerid: int (exclude auction entries from this eBay seller ID)
* bidcountmin: int (minimum number of bids)
* bidcountmax: int (maximum number of bids)
* itemslocatedin: string (country ISO2 code), US – United States of America, SE – Sweden, you can find a list of values here: http://tinyurl.com/cnuhzq
* itemsavailableto: string (country ISO2 code), US – United States of America, SE – Sweden, you can find a list of values here: http://tinyurl.com/cnuhzq
* postalcode: string (note this value DOES NOT work without maxdistance)
* obfuscateurl: true or false (whether or not to mask URL’s and hide rover links)
* minprice: int/float (note: no currency symbol)
* maxprice: int/float (note: no currency symbol)
* showbidcount: true or false
* dateformat: 1-5 (matching the date format list in the admin page)
* showgalleryonly: true or false

You can even change the localization in the admin settings page OR on a page or post basis. This is great if you have sections of your site that are multi-country or multi-lingual. Use the following parameters:

* strbids: string
* strbid: string
* strendtime: string
* strbuyitnow: string

Last but NOT least – you can change the tracking provider in addition to tracking tag in any individual page or post per tag. This allows you to have a section of a WordPress site tracking auctions through eBay Partner Network, and another section tracking through AffiliNet or BeFree, or any one of the 8 available tracking providers.

**BONUS** – Display Your Auctions in a sidebar widget (see our sidebar!)
**NEW** - Ability to research eBay to find most sold items!

Research eBay from WP EASYBAY™ Admin

Another incredible bonus of using WP EASYBAY is that you can actually research eBay from the plugin admin page!  Let’s say you have a blog about collectibles and you were thinking about creating a page about precious moments figurines.  You can certainly go to eBay and just type in “precious moments” to see what’s for sale.  But that’s not going to tell you much is it?

Once you own the WP EASYBAY plugin, just go to the plugin admin page and type in anything you want to research on eBay:

You can choose what amount of currency to use, which eBay site (country), and the time period you want to look at data for and voila! – results!  In the example above we see that for the keywords “precious moments” in the last 7 days there were almost $56,000 in sales, 3,718 items were sold, the average price was $15, the least amount something sold for was a penny, and the highest amount was $500.

If you click the checkbox “include daily statistic breakdown” you can even get a day by day breakdown of sales as well for as many days as you’re doing research for.  In this example I changed the keywords to “precious moments figurine” to see out of the 3,700 precious moments items sold on eBay last week how many were actually figures – and get a day by day breakdown as well (only the first few days show in the image):

WP EASYBAY™ Advanced Programming Feature Example

One of the features listed above is WP EASYBAY™’s “Advanced Programming” feature. It’s hard to describe what kind of POWER and FLEXIBILITY this gives you – so what’s better than showing you a live example! We have already showed how you can add “advanced parameters” to the WP EASYBAY™ tag in a Worpress post or page to override the plugins default settings for just about anything.

What the “Advanced Programming” feature actually does is allow you to “pass variables” from a form INTO THE TAG, and allow users to modify or refine the actual auction results on your pages and posts. Like this live example we’ve built:

You can actually try that example live here as well, if you like. The exact code used for that example page is contained within the howto.txt file when you purchase WP EASYBAY. You can customize it to your liking to create any kind of form for auctions.

Imagine the kind of flexibility this provides! Create a drop down so users can switch countries, enter zip codes, bid amounts, buy it now auctions, or any advanced parameter! Create a musician’s site allowing people to find instruments close to their home to save on shipping. Create a site for restaurant or industrial equipment. Allow people to find auctions with no bids, or only things in their country with no image. The possibilities are endless!

WP EASYBAY™ API

WP-Easybay™ has it’s own API that you can call to generate auctions results “outside the loop”. This means that you can generate auctions anywhere that you can place php code, which is anywhere inside a wordpress theme page!

Easily generate auctions based on categories or tags in your header, sidebars, footer, and even before and / or after the loop of content – the possibilities are endless!
