Hi Debbie, I haven't used the editor kit, so I can't comment on it. phpBay Pro is very simple. The installation is simple and painless and it comes with instructions. It's basically: upload, activate plugin, add your information in the phpBay Pro page in the admin, and start adding it to your content. In a page or post, you simply add a string of code and set your keyword, number of listings to display, category number and any exclusion words. Publish the post, and move on to the next! Very, very simple to use. I hope this helps and welcome the opportunity to earn your business.
I was wondering if anyone has used PHPBay on an older version of WP? I happen to be running versions 2.0 and 2.2. I know that the plugin recommends 2.3, but has anyone had any success with the older versions of WP?? Also, I use semiologic as my theme. Any else used PHPbay on semiologic before? If so, what are the results? Thanks! Kerry
Kerry: While I can't answer your question, I suspect that the success of your BANS site have nothing to do with platform (semiologic, wordpress 2.0, or 2.3). IMHO, hot niche + targetted traffic = conversion ($$).
I haven't tried PHPBay but can say that I LOVE Bans... I've made over $100 in my first month. You can follow my progress and read my tips and stuff here: http://www.nichestorescript.com It's definitely worth it and... very addictive
one thing that I personally like about PHP Bay is that you have an option to have it on your post or not. In addition, with wordpress blogs, you can schedule your post automatically so you don't get penalized by google for having an old site that is not active. Keep in mind, that Google was banning some bans stores for being old and un updated.
I like both phpBay and BANS but with phpBay I like that you can target multiple countries with just one blog (with a few enhancements). But with BANS you are targeting just one country.
Damn Ive been looking for such a review! I wasted my money on bans then... geez But seriously, what revenues have you guys seen from phpbay? On a weekly basis
I've never tried bans, but I have been using PHPBay for over a year, I like it, I like the support.. it makes me money - that's the main thing
I have to admit, I was pretty excited about reading this post. It sounded like PHPBay was going to be an easy win. I went to Ebay to sign up and was rejected. Based on your opinion of this response, I'm assuming PHPBay and BANS won't work with Ebay anymore. Is that correct? Here's the message from eBay. Thank you for applying to the eBay Partner Network.

Don't loose hope. I use phpbay Pro , if you are rejected by EBay you can still use phpzon - another product that works pretty good with Amazon. Besides raking money from CJ i am using phpbay and phpzon and my earning are going up every month.
I have been very happy with phpbay Pro. I've been using it for a few years. The problem is that ebay has changed their payment structure, so I am focusing more attention elsewhere.
