Wordpress eBay plugin (+ getting plugin approved :( )

    Just to let you know I got a release version of my free Wordpress eBay listings plugin, WordBay, out the other day. The bugs seem to be ironed out now, so you can get going, inserting eBay listings into your posts and pages and making money through EPN!

    Unfortunately, I wanted to get the plugin approved and listed in the Wordpress plugin repository, but this just seems to take forever, so in the meantime I say, get downloading!

    And if anyone knows whose arm I need to twist to get my plugin approved, feel free to let me know!

    Is the WordBay beta or final version?

    Hi, the current version IS now available from the WordPress repository at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordbay/

    No, it's not a BETA anymore, there have been no actual bugs reported for around a month, so I consider it fully-functional.

    However, I will be adding more features in the future, so keep an eye out for updates.

    Interesting... too bad I didn't have a chance to try this plugin out before I paid $79 for phpbay pro.

    lol, ah well I really like what phpbay can do.

    Hi. Yes, the bugs had been ironed out, but then I introduced some new features, which caused new bugs :)

    However, the plugin is very much useable, and it works with all eBay countries, BUT there is this issue with categories, the eBay category numbers being different for each country (really stupid...), so the drop-down category list only works with US. You CAN use it with geotargetting and with different countries, but then you have to set the product category to ALL, which is kind of annoying and I am still thinking about a workaround.
