I made a simple little tool to turn a CJ CSV report into a table of eBay links so you can see what people are buying via your eBay links.

Here 'tis. (http://thewebsiteprofessionals.com/cj-report-analyzer/)

It's nothing spectacular, but it's easier that searching through your reports for the eBay item IDs.

If anyone knows how I can get the eBay item description via PHP or RSS using only the ID number, then I wanna know :p

Would you be willing to let people have the source of this tool?

I'm guessing you could do a API call to get the item description, but that will probably slow things down. You might be able to get the titles as a background process with AJaX to speed things up.

A little something like this?
justplayfreegames.com/abc.html

View source for the HTML
JS is here http://justplayfreegames.com/ajax.js.txt
PHP is here http://justplayfreegames.com/abc.php.txt
I also used an XML to Array parser from phpfreaks.com/script/view/202.php

Don't forget to register at developer.ebay.com and get your AppID.

Good Job with the ebay sales. I actually havn't had any yet:( But I am working on it, trying to promote a bit more and diversify my ads that I run.

Hopefully I'll start making some money soon enough!

That thing kicks ass. I had no idea what people are buying. I threw a page together for one niche and it turns out I sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay directly in that niche. Time to do a little more marketing in that direction LOL

@ xemiterx - that's all a bit over my head (very impressive though!). Is there a way I can use Ajax from my php script without the eBay API to grab the item description using just the auction ID#?

UPDATE!
The CJ report analyzer for eBay sales (http://www.thewebsiteprofessionals.com/cj-report-analyzer/) now shows the item description.
It's a fair bit slower, but now you can see auction descriptions without having to click the link.

Provide the source code man or sell it. I don't want you to target our niche! :D

Nothing gets saved to the server, and any temp files are trashed as soon as the results page finishes loading.

Plus, I've got better things to do that hunt through some CJ reports to find a niche :p
