    Hi Guys,

    The store im using is available online for free ( but you can pay to remove footer from the seller <not me!> )

    Im feeding it with an ebay csv which im generating from ebay rss.

    You can pay $200 for CJ to setup feeds for youfor all your merchants but this ebay feed script im using will get you started earning with CJ.

    If you click on the link for "visit store" the buyer is redirected to the item in ebay.

    Hope this helps!

    EDIT: Nevermind, I understand you now. What store script are you using? Also, is osCommerce able to generate these feeds?

    Also, I am assuming this script allows you to upload merchant CSV's to the store. Lastly, how much will this script cost and when's the expected release dates...

    Hi Buddy ,

    Im using affiliatestore which accepts csv
    Im feeding it an auto generated csv in pipe format.
    Im not sure what you mean by oscommerce generating those feeds?

    Cheers!

    I'm trying to get a little better understanding of what you are trying to do. Do you really need the whole feed from Ebay? I looked at your site and it looks like you have lists of keywords to choose from. Why not have a seperate rss feed that generates for each keyword that is clicked on?

    I'm still confused about your mod, but alright :)

    I'm thinking of having a coder write a custom piece for osCommerce that allows me to run the product catalogs from CJ when I purchase it. The feeds have a certain schema that I don't think osCommerce uses so yup. :)

    Either way, keep me filled in, I may use it :D

    Sounds cool, how much do you want for it? Can it be used to target listings from just one seller?

    Ok for anyone wanting to review live...

    You get your commission because you give the URL to generate csv file your CJ PID (example below is 123456)

    http://www.galway.ws/ebay/ebay.php?pid=123456&keyword=Dogs

    Will return a csv (not 100% yet..)

    This csv feeds the affilistore which I showed and using the above url gives my store the following

    http://www.denim18.com/store/products/Dogs.html

    This works with affilistore which im using for my example....

    Read more here regarding what rss in ebay will give you.
    http://pages.ebay.com/affiliates/tools/rssgenerator/index.html

    For example , one flaw I see is that you cant too much of a detailed description from rss...

    http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/AdvSearch?sofindtype=1

    but the beauty is that because you can search for product from one specific seller using search you can get the results in your csv. I am working to add as much criteria as possible. for example the ability to show more expensive first ;)

    Im only looking to cover my coding costs so price will be approx $30 if that doesnt sound unreasonable?
