This is not my site, so I would like to know how do I build ebay product links like this guy has - http://survivalknifeshop.com/Survival-Knives/Combat-Survival-Knives I am already an ebay partner, but I can not figure out how do build product links like that.
You have to signup with ebay affiliate program and then get the category/product datafeed etc to generate pages/links like that.
Since you are new, you could use BANS or read this: Opinion: BANS vs phpBay(WP plugin) vs phpBay API vs Free Options
Yup, its a BANS site all dressed in white, looks nice by the way. Use a 3 column template for that and it will spread out.
If you have wordpress running give phpBay Pro a shot, it's my pick, plus Wade, the guy that looks after it, is awesome helpful.
Where is this "category/product datafeed" at? It is under link generator, creatives generator, widgets or API?? Thank all of you for the replies and the suggestions. Let me explain me situation in a little more detail. I have a virtual private server with quad core, dual processors, over 800 megs of memory, 50 gigs of storage space and over 500 gigs of monthly throughput. So its not like I need my sites hosted somewhere. The combined traffic for all 4 sites is over 28,800 people a month and still going up. I already have established sites with established traffic. The main forum has between 500 - 700 members visiting every 24 hours, over 1,900 members visiting every 30 days and gets over 1,510,000 page views a month. My sites: http://www.survivalistboards.com/ - I would like to make a few static non-vbulletin pages, inside vbulletin with a feed on the page. Example - http://www.survivalistboards.com/store.php <--- Amazon store on top, ebay feed on bottom. http://www.therifleforum.com/forums/ - same thing with this vbulletin forum as the first one. http://www.survivalboards.com - on this site I want to incorporate the feeds and products into the articles. There are already active ebay RSS feeds on some of the pages. I just want product links http://www.survivalforum.us/ - same thing as the above site. PHPBay, this plugin will work on two of the existing wordpress sites, but will not work with the vbulletin forums. I will look into this option, thank all of you for telling about this plug in. I might be opening another 4 or 5 sites, so this might be an option. Could someone please tell me how to add EBAY product links an existing site? Thank you.
Then, look at phpBay API. http://www.mcgrathinfosolution.com/phpbayapidemo/index.php Or the eBay widget(must register to eBay site to get that code + EPN) http://www.mcgrathinfosolution.com/ebaywidgetdemo/ Those were created using AuctionSiteWriter.
eBay also lets you create an RSS feed of products that include your affiliate ID. You could include that feed in a page to have ebay products display on your site. It works for any site that allows you to display an RSS feed.
Give TWP Auctions a try. It's free, runs off the eBay rss feed, and is pretty simple to get working (I wrote it so it must be simple!) It can be used on just about any site (including Wordpress), and should work on vB. Get it here. Read more about it on DP here.
