Must have wordpress plugin for eBay Partner Network (EPN)
December 13, 2009
If you are looking for a robust solution to adding eBay auctions to your wordpress blog, you have to check out Auction2Post software. This is my favorite plugin for adding eBay auctions to my affiliate websites. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of using this software.
First, you are able to automate postings, autopilot blogging. This is good because the search engines will always be churning on your new content you add. You can automate within the wordpress admin area, or you can actually set up a cron entry to run the scripts.
Second, you have the ability to delete expired auctions through the administrative area. This is good if you are in a small niche that continually has the same auctions posted. It helps to eliminate any duplicate content issues you might face.
Last is that it is so simple to use. The documentation is clear, concise and extremely helpful even to the novice user to get everything setup. The author of the plugin is extremely accessible in the message forums. And you can add it to as many sites as you’d like. So check it out for yourself. You’ll be happy you did.

Hey, I think it might finally be time for me to invest in something like this. I have been creating all my postings by hand (using phpBay), but with all my new sites this is taking a lot of time. Do you have experience using A2P with phpBay?
I do not have experience using it with phpBay. I own a copy of phpBay as well however I’ve never once used it out of fear it may have a footprint the serps would be able to search on. So, I developed my own using the various api’s available in the eBay developer section. So, I basically make a call like this.
$id = “my keywords”;
include(“my_api_call.php”); ?>
Inside the file I format everything into a simple html table, encode the links, record the clicks and I’m done. So, nothing against phpBay, I have just been too afraid to use it. Stay tuned as I’ll likely be making available the code that I use.
