    Is there no way to geotarget phpbay ads?

    I have a great new site pulling in 75 uniques a day from google searches, after only 10 days. (awesome niche) but this niche is worldwide and only possible through ebay.... although 50% is coming from the US, I would like to geo-target it....

    I have the same problem and I've coded my own ebay plugin that auto detects the country based on the visitors IP and retrieves listings from the correct ebay site. One of the issues of geotargeting though, is that category numbers may differ from each ebay site so you will have to forgo that option.

    You can use a cloaking script to geo target, the technique is called IP delivery.

    Brewster, is this going to be in the next release version? I noticed on the PHPbay forums you provided your class to Wade?

    Hi cianuro

    This works with the current API (see here for an example with the current API) and will work automatically with version 3.0 of the wordpress plugin.
