auction2post plugin for Wordpress, turn eBay auctions into posts - Page 2 - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

radio · 04-20-2009, 05:11 PM

lots of options, default general settings is nice so you don't have to reenter shit every time. after submitting search, all auctions are returned for you to prune (very crude looking right now), then you hit submit and up to 100 new posts are created for you.

lots of what's listed for premium features have been implemented, just need to clean it up, document it, and test. still looking at june 1st for the release date. will need some beta testers for premium version. will let people know details (terms and conditions) and put a call out for beta testers mid-May.

the store search is cool, but i was really impressed with the product search - enter the isbn and *bam* exact search.

Thanks to everyone who has posted here and for those checking out the free version.

kingofsp · 04-20-2009, 06:31 PM

Got this to work with zensix, just used the php.ini file as radio suggested. If you drop it in the domain root, wp-admin, and the root of the plugin, it should work. If not, just put it everywhere. lol.

radio · 04-20-2009, 06:49 PM

and you're my fact checking cuz

thanks for looking into that kingofsp - after a quick chat with subigo, i will be implementing a much more secure solution for this that doesn't rely on fopen.

for those who want to try it for the time being on a zensix box - here's what you need in the php.ini file

Code:

allow_url_fopen = 1

Grindstone · 04-22-2009, 06:38 PM

So the EPN just facepalmed my affiliate application, is this rig gonna work with the Pepperjam network or do I need to go buy an account with EPN elsewhere?

Thanks again for the killer plugin.

radio · 04-22-2009, 07:37 PM

This will currently only work w/ EPN. Will get more details on the PJN aff program. Looks like I'll just have a setting to change and deliver a different link structure. Thanks for the heads up on this. Apply now to PJ as it takes them a while to do their thing too...

Bogardi · 05-03-2009, 03:37 PM

looks pretty sweet - how is the development coming?

hoping to hear from you soon

radio · 05-04-2009, 12:16 AM

things are going great. weekends are excellent for productivity.

all features from the original list have been completed.

Quote:

Expanded search allowing for every parameter to be defined.
Check database to see if post has already been added, don't duplicate.
Allow user to set search defaults (maxBids, minBids, postalCode, maxDistance, etc.)
[strike]Have a basic search w/ expandable advanced search on Add Auctions page.[/strike]
Display all auction results w/ image/price/description before adding posts so user can with one click prune auctions they want eliminated from the auctions to post.
Post Templates - stored in the db and user creates or selects pre-saved template, if no template selected default post
AUTOMATION
Create custom searches and have them run automatically, autopopulating your site.
Add new, edit, or delete custom automated searches.
Expire (delete) posts when auction ends (option)
All values retuned by eBay API stored as custom fields so they can be called up by the theme
Allow for assigning multiple categories to post
Allow for up to 100 posts per individual search
Option on sold/expired items that says "sold" but displays several auctions from the same query on current auctions.
Delete all a2p posts and delete all a2p expired posts buttons in settings. (for cleaning up if a user decides they no longer want all expired posts to be clogging up their blog).

here's how the auctions are returned to prune or post. post obviously means post the auction, block means don't show me that auction ever again, and skip means to just skip it this time - don't post it, but don't block it.

templates allow for tags to create custom displays of post.

then it goes on to allow for multiple custom field values and keys.

category is coming out of the template and moving into the manual and automation search/post.

June 1st looks like a reasonable target date. That being said... I'm quitting my job the end of May and moving 600 miles south... and of course all the packing, planning, and bullshit that goes along with it. Hope to have demo copies to some beta testers after next weekend and an acceptable manual / guide shortly thereafter.

Grindstone · 05-04-2009, 04:48 PM

Fuck, that looks sick. Any progress on teh Pepperjam angle, since the PJ rep claimed in that other thread that they're still on board with the EPN?

Can't wait to try and break the new and improved version!

radio · 05-04-2009, 05:21 PM

Thanks! Will work w/ Pepperjam. Set it up in the general settings tab. Hoping to add some sick user interface shit - but it's functional for the time being. Pretty crazy, left this thing running over night and it added 25 posts an hour of relevant auctions. Added it to another site of mine - a phpbay site where this is dumping into a relevant "articles" category and would appear to be adding new content regularly while the phpbay side of things continue to look like the "shop".

radio · 05-10-2009, 12:17 AM

best. month. ever.

off to my best month ever w/ epn. new sites generating money quickly. not doing any link building or anything beyond putting up the site and letting the plugin run.

doing everything i can to hit the june 1st target. found myself working on trivial shit that maybe 1% of the user base would take advantage of - so prioritized the list and bumped some stuff to Version 2.0 so I can focus on making this rock solid.

Added the ability to either download the images or just hotlink them from eBay. Category is now associated with posting and automation, not with templates. Post tags followed suit. Added some Post Defaults so it's even faster for adding posts and templates. Added a Maintenance tab for deleting posts, attachments, and clearing tables. Automation search as comprehensive as manual search.

radio · 05-12-2009, 09:49 PM

shameless bump. but it's working with zensix and i'm pleased about that. no issue w/ zensix hosting btw but with how i was getting data from ebay. hope to have this available for the wf community to review by sunday night. go get ur developer id now.

also, if anyone has a pepperj@m epn acct - would love to chat w/ you about how your aff links are set up. drop me a pm or hit me up on aim radiowf - thanks!

kingofsp · 05-12-2009, 10:11 PM

Nothing shameful about it. This is a fantastic plugin.

radio · 05-15-2009, 09:43 PM

okay... fuck it - beta version is available. aesthetically it has a ways to go... but you can check it out - need some constructive feedback and beta testers to check for bugs (of which there are many).

Click here to download: auction2post 0.0.5 BETA
you need an eBay Developer ID - they are free. Click here to obtain.

there are known bugs and unimplemented features - check the a2p forums for details!

let's not clutter up wf with this conversation. if you decide to download it and need some help or want to report a bug go to the plugin forum: auction2post beta plugin forum

this plugin is encoded with ioncube and expires on May 31st. it will expire in a very ugly fashion (it will cause an error when someone tries to load your blog - so be sure to delete it from your plugins folder by May 31st). sure i could figure out how to make the beta die nicely - but i have more pressing things - specifically a june 1st release date.

people who purchase auction2post will have a lifetime subscription to the software and will include all future updates for free. the price is going to be $79 w/ a nice wf discount for the first two weeks. setting up an affiliate program for the plugin as well. details to follow.

i have been making money with this plugin in it's current fashion since the beginning of the month. download it, check it out, don't judge a book by it's cover, offer up some feedback at the a2p forum, get money, get paid.

This plugin has got me excitick (<--as my 7 yr old used to say the word.) I'm this close to downloading the beta. That comment about the ugly expiration does give a girl pause though. Why not make it expire june 15th or something (not sure if this is something you can change now?) that way a) if you don't release it on june first you don't have people with empty blogs going wtf and b) even if you do release it june 1st there will still be some lag time there between the beta and the premium of people having to buy it and install it right?

My other question is about the api is this just a beta testing thing or is everyone who buys the plugin going to need an api id? Not really thinking about myself so much as trying to sell it to the average joe. (not that I'm too far off from that!)

sooo excitick!

EDIT: Nevermind about the beta, looks like your not taking anymore. That's ok I'll just tap my foot, twiddled my thumbs and wait ever so (im)patiently.

radio · 05-21-2009, 10:57 AM

thanks for checking in, turbo!

i closed the beta download, because i wasn't getting any feedback and realized that i probably needed to be more specific in my request for BETA testers (help me track bugs) rather than just putting out a BETA version. i see someone else posted a thread asking specifically for BETA testers... think i'll do something similar - a memorial day weekend bug hunt or something - june 1st is fast approaching.

you're right - i probably scared people away with the UGLY expiration. i should have been more clear - it doesn't wipe out the blog, and all posts will remain (if that's what a user wants), it just doesn't add anymore and needs to be deleted. kind of moot right now though.

finally, regarding the ebay api developer id - yep, everyone needs to apply to get one (but they hand them out to every applicant, though I would recommend getting one before buying the plugin). my thought there is someone has already figured out how to apply to either EPN or PJN, applying for another system shouldn't be too challenging. my braindead cousin managed to do it in five minutes, so that makes me pretty confident that the average user can mangage. i agree that it's an extra step, but it's really in the users best interest because then they get up to 5000 calls a day guaranteed. i could try and get the app (or at least my app id) approved for a production licesne which allows for 1.5 million calls a day (then cap api calls from users myself), and that might happen, but for right now it requries everyone to have their own developer id.

after an insane weekend of road tripping and a few days playing catch up, i haven't had much time to spend with this project. looking forward to the long weekend to bang out some serious progress.

S M W · 05-21-2009, 02:32 PM

is epn going to ban me as soon as I start making some coin with this? Any feedback from eBay yet?

radio · 05-21-2009, 02:48 PM

if you're making coin, eBay is making coin. like anything, it depends on how you use it - and we are all aware of epn's seemingly capricious nature of dropping affiliates, though that seemed to be more a broad sweep and hasn't happened since. are you taking a risk - of course. affiliate marketing IS a risk. risk vs. reward - that's for you do decide and for another thread entirely. this is a plugin for those who have decided it's worth the risk. don't want the risk, sell your own product. not trying to be a dick - that's just the nature of the beast.

mikey123 · 05-21-2009, 09:54 PM

i've used most of the ebay plugins in the past.
this one looks to have potential.

let us know when the beta/preview/whatever is back up

had to push back the plugin release date two weeks to june 15th. BETA testing went very well and received a bunch of great feedback, now trying to incorporate most of it into the plugin for the version 1.0 release.

Eye_Pull_Rank · 06-02-2009, 04:59 PM

I'd release a preorder price for WF members to help fund the project. Let me know if you do!

convertfire · 06-02-2009, 08:53 PM

Nice plugin.

where can I download this? I went to your website and signed up, but did not get any email back.

also I cannot find the PM link here for some reason.

You may not be able to get the free version anymore...dunno.

Like he said he's getting ready to release the premium version on the 15th.

i was actually thinking about this, but considering the downsides i opted against. miss a deadline and you're holding people's money... eek.

speaking of deadlines, i WILL be hitting my june 15th extension deadline and the plugin will be for sale for $79 (with a coupon code for wf members of course!). i quit my job friday, packed up my shit, cleaned the apartment, then spent the last two days moving 700 miles south. nothing is unpacked, but i have the computer set up and will be working on integrating the payment/membership/download/license generation shit over the next week.

i've pulled the free version since it doesn't even remotely reflect a stripped down version of the current plugin - i'll revisit it after i have the premium released (but it will be low on my priorities - it's a marketing tool and there may be more effective ways to market than spending time on a stripped down version of a2p).

thanks everyone who has checked out the thread, tested a version of the plugin, or signed up at auction2post.com

Grindstone · 06-04-2009, 01:02 PM

Both Gg and Y! seem to love these sites in terms of SEO, I haven't even activated the all-in-one-SEO plugin on one of them and it went from #5 and #16 (in it's old existance as a static site) for the two main keywords to #3 and #7 in less than a week (Y! rankings, G is lagging behind some).

Now if I could just find a quality EPN account vendor...

if it was just a matter of releasing the plugin... grr. you guys are the best. working diligently... at the apt, boxes still unpacked, wearing same clothes as yesterday, coding away.

june 15th guaranteed!

This sounds and looks fantastic, good luck with the rest of the coding and remember to take a shower! Looking forward to purchasing what looks like an excellent addition to some of my phpBay sites.

Also remember that you can survive for weeks if you don't eat, but only for a couple days without water. Keep a bottle of water near your computer/bed for the next 2 weeks. Don't be engaging in fruitless activities like driving around and getting food and stuff. :-D

Moneyworks · 06-05-2009, 03:48 PM

This WP plugin sounds great. Will there be an option for people to post products from other countries other than the U.S? For example if I had a site that sold TVs to people in the UK and was accepted to the UK EPN program, could I just put in my aff id like i can with BANS?

radio Unconsciously competent. Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 1,540 iTrader: 25 / 100%	had to push back the plugin release date two weeks to june 15th. BETA testing went very well and received a bunch of great feedback, now trying to incorporate most of it into the plugin for the version 1.0 release.

Moneyworks Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 40 iTrader: 8 / 100%	This WP plugin sounds great. Will there be an option for people to post products from other countries other than the U.S? For example if I had a site that sold TVs to people in the UK and was accepted to the UK EPN program, could I just put in my aff id like i can with BANS?
