    Yes, you should try applying to become an eBay
    affiliate before you purchase BANS though they
    still have an 8-week money-back guarantee should
    you buy and not able to get into eBay.

    Actually, it does not matter if you are not from the
    US. You can still apply to be a US eBay affiliate.

    There are ways around it I'm pretty sure.

    I'm a non-US, US eBay affiliate myself...

    To make things interesting lets throw the eBay Editor Kit into the mix. How do you guys think that compares to things such as BANS and PHpBayPro and PopShops?

    I believe someone said that with BANS and such, the listings actually get indexed because its an RSS feed (really? even if they're only displayed for a short amount of time?!). Is this not true with the rover links the Editor Kit uses?

    I'm currently using the editor kit but am considering switching if another method will help my rankings more.

    i was one of the smart ones who did NOT sign up to be an ebay affiliate before signing up w CJ.... i probably lost out on $500

    its all good though, you live and you learn

    Why do you have to sign-up on eBay first? I signed up on CJ, then later added eBay as an affiliate. Got approved, then went to the eBay site for tools and registered a new account on there.

    Now I just plug in my CJ PID when using eBay tools and i'm all set!

    If eBay US rejects you, try eBay UK.

    Hi all,
    I have a few questions about popshops ....
    It's looks very useful :)
    1.How would you modify a shop to look like perfectlyshapedworld.com/?cpage=apparel&nl=1&title=New%20Arrivals
    2.What do they get out of this by providing a free service ? Is it all the traffic bringing keywords that they are after ?

    3.Popshops vs LP, which is better, I have a feeling it's the LP as you can track all clicks ?
    4.Is it possible to track clicks on popshop ?
    5.Do they have access to your cj account ?
    ATT

    I am trying BANS and PHPBayPro. Both are working fine.

    I have also written a similar script (just to see how things works). I have create a site around it. Lets see how all these sites does in long term.

    Does BANS let you combine multiple searches into one list of products? Like, lets say I have two similar categories that I want to clumb listings together for.

    I currently use the eBay editor kit and it does not let you do that to my knowledge...it only lets you add in multiple negative search terms, not multiple positive search terms.

    Doesn't have to be PHP but whatever. I only have enough real-estate on each page of the site for a single listing of products down the center column and need to be able to combine multiple categories because of that.

    Know of any free solutions?

    Another option that combines Amazon, Ebay and other CJ advertisers can be seen in the first link of my sig. It too is a hosted service like BANS and they are close to getting out of beta...

    Sorry, its in a pretty untouched niche and I'm looking to keep it that way ;)

    The only information you really need to know is that i'm trying to combine results from two similar eBay searches (with related search terms) into a single listing of products, and preferably have the output appear similar to the editor kit or via RSS to help with ranking.

    If you think you have something that will work, feel free to PM me a link to a demo site.
