eBay Integration Mod

This extension allows users to enter their eBay username, and will then have a link in postbit that will show all the users current eBay Auctions.

Does require a couple of template edits, and edit of a file (not native to vB).

Based off of the idea and hack from 3.0.x which can be seen: here.


1.0.1 Updated XML to parse two templates, saving two queries (thanks to Zachariah).

1.0.0 Initial Release


*To Update*
Reupload all files, Re-import product, making sure to allow overwrite.
-- Make sure you replace fieldx with your field# in the XML before updating.

This hack would kick butt if the webmaster could integrate his ebay affiliate link into the auctions...This way you would get revenue off users who actually click through and bid. Can't be too hard to do this.

Just a suggestion

I have this running for 3.0.8 and as soon as the Trader Ratings hack is ported to 3.5, I'll be upgrading so this being done makes me

But, will my exsisting 3.0.8 ebay postbit enteries be the same, or will the users have to re-edit their profile to put in their name again?

I installed the hack, went through this whole thread and I still dont have it showing up, could it be im using a custom style?

I edited all my files as said, still wont show up in the postbit, I do use the old style post bit as well not the new one would that make a difference?

Not yet, but I am currently working on that.

There should not be a problem, I as well use postbit legacy.

Erm... When making your snippet code, if you put at the bottom of the form your Commission Junction ID, the code that the Snippet Creator makes will already have your affiliate link embedded into the code.

Nothing that you, the hack maker, has to do... It's merely down to the user having an affiliate account...

The problem was, I wasn't sure how the affiliate id worked, as I'm not an eBay affiliate. I'll update the readme with that information. Thanks
