How to add an eBay portal to wordpress

November 5th, 2007 | Technology |

I found this neat feature on eBay today. With just a few clicks you can set up your own ’shopping’ portal to eBay via what they call an ‘Editor Kit’.

Check out the live sample at my new Maltese Dog Shop :) The eBay listing are actual live auctions with the keyphrase “Maltese Dog”. I’ve previously had real shops like Pet Care RX and Dog.com on there but they didn’t convert very well. I’m hoping eBay does much better because everyone uses eBay - right? Being on the front page of the google serps should help my cause too :)

Anyway, to set this widget up, you can sign up via this link:

Editor Kit Link - Visit: http://pages.ebay.com/api/editorkit.html - to use this link

The Editor Kit is like a sort of ‘wizard’ that takes you step by step to creating whatever live listing you want to show. At the end of the process you get a script that you simply cut and paste into any Wordpress page and walaa, you have a fully functional, live eBay listing that is updated in realtime! How sweet is that?
