phpBay Pro Wordpress Plugin
One of the most popular platforms to use phpBay Pro on, is Wordpress. This is also the simplest method to install phpBay Pro on. Upload the /phpBay directory to your /plugin folder, vist admin->plugins in your Wordpress admin panel, activate the plugin, then visit the options page for phpBay Pro. Set your options, then insert the [phpbay] tag in a post, and in a matter of minutes, you can be displaying Ebay auction listings in your blog from thousands and thousands of Ebay categories from 14 countries around the world. It really is a simple and quick installation!

phpBay Pro API
phpBay Pro API is designed for webmasters who have, or are planning to build a php driven web site. With just a few lines of code, webmasters can incorporate Ebay auction listings into their site pages and have another way to offer their visitors items of interest for the topic of the page. phpBay Pro API now comes with a series of example tutorials that you can quickly upload to your server and run, to see how it works.
There are examples for numerous scenarios and each php example file is documented as well as an overview of how it works. I’ve really taken time and care with these tutorials so that you can quickly see how it works and get the most out of the product, without having to spend a lot of time reading. How simple is it? Open up the ebay.php file in the /examples folder, add your website url, set your Ebay affiliate ID and upload. Then direct your browser to your /examples folder. Have a look at what the examples look like:
Here is a screen shot of the few lines of php code it used to display a basic auction listing in the API version:
Your Success is My Success
One of the most important things my customers tell me about phpBay Pro is how valuable the customer support is. I pride myself on this. There is nothing worse than buying a script or software program and having a feeling of helplessness. I strive to write good documentation and provide real world example uses of phpBay Pro. If you need help, I’m one email away. Don’t just take my word for it though, see what some of my customers say below.
Testimonials
What are Ebay affiliates saying about phpBay Pro? Good question. I won’t give you some unsourced anonymous comments by people you would otherwise never know. That’s too easy. What I will do, is provide some direct unsolicited quotes with references so you can see for yourself.
What does one of the leading Affiliate Marketers on the web, Brian Johnson from My Affiliate Programs say?
Probably the best tool I have used so far is PHPbay -
It is a plugin for wordpress, is easy to set up and use and pulls in spiderable feeds from ebay. What I like is that once you know the ebay “category numbers” that make sense for your site you can easily add ebay products quickly without heading back to ebay and creating the feeds from scratch. This saves time, as mentioned the tool produces straight html (which search engines can read).
Phpbay is fairly easy to install as well, the main folder goes into your plugins section and you also add one php file to the root of your site.
…Best on the market to date in my book.
In addition to the comments section in this post, here are what some customers are saying about phpBay Pro:
Great script! Well worth the money, and one of the best I have seen yet!
Great plugin, this is working out very well on my blogs.
Just bought my copy! thanks for all the help and quick responses.
It runs through CJ or media plex. And yes I am making additional money from eBay through the CJ program. I was first using *competitor here* but I like this script better for my purposes.
I bought this script the other night and just wanted to let everyone know that the owner (don’t know if he wants his name publicized) really bends over backwards to make sure that his customers are happy. I was having problems integrating the script into my own application and he was more than happy to answer my questions promptly and courteously.
This is honestly a $97 or higher piece of software. If you’re even on the fence about this, you’d better jump on this offer before he realizes he should be charging much more. You’re going to love what you can do with it!
Like Steve above said, GTech has been extremely helpful with answering questions and showing me how to revise portions of the script.
I recently purchased this script. First of all, GTech is amazing at helping you get things up and running, and even going the extra mile afterwards. Cognitive dissonance? He kills it. Second of all, the script itself is great. Ridiculously simple and very customizable. I’d recommend this to anybody.
Just passing this along….PHPBay is an outstanding product. I have tried and still use many other approaches (*competitor here*, Editor Kits, RSS feeds, etc.). Each has their advantages, but none of them hide the affiliate links like PHPBay. Also, GTech himself is a gentleman and a scholar. A pleasure to work with.
I just wanted to thank Gtech for the great script! I got it working flawlessly on a few sites and one that i was having problems with he help me along and gave me some great pointers. If anyone is on the fence regarding this script, dont be and buy it!
Gtech is a real pro with a great script. I was having an issue with my host and he dove right in and helped me sort it out. The support he provided was beyond what I ever expected. I have never seen such a script at this price. I was talking to another member six months ago about something similar, but less featured, and the price was about 20 times this offer. If you are the fence, don’t be. This is well worth the asking price - many times over!
