I'm interested in getting BANS; however, I'd like to offer local items only, which will require addition of sorting by zipcode. Is this possible with BANS? Does anyone have it? If yes, please provide link to function. Thanks.
yes, a message has been posted by the BANS people on their forum that they have had discussions with ebay and there will be an update to their programs to enable the transition with the existing (and past) versions of BANS to ebay rather than cj. some of those posts have been reposted here in this forum, can't remember where, there have been a lot of CJ/ebay posts these last couple of days!
I made this page a while back as an example of how you can use the distance and zip code in the API to get local results. http://easyadslive.com/local It's really not that hard to do and the results are pretty good too For the ads service, I'm going to add local geo-targeting soon so you can just enter keywords for the ads and it will show items in the local area for the user. I already have it working with countries, just need to refine it a little now.
