v.0.996 - minor bugs removed

I probably should have suggested you wait a day or two after I put out the new version of WordBay - these more major changes always result in some niggly little bugs creeping in. Thanks to people who sent in bug reports for the recent version over the last couple days. I am trying to […]

Updated 0.995 version - USA now included :)

Apologies to all those who were hoping to use WordBay with US eBay (now why would you want to do that?) - a little omission in this new version caused the US Site ID option not to appear in the drop-down list! Rather inconvenient. I have now corrected this, but have NOT advanced the version […]

New version: 0.995 - improved country-handling

No sooner had I put out the geotargetting version of WordBay than it was time for another small update. If you are happy with the way WordBay displays listings for your chosen country, and you are not using geotargetting, don’t bother with this update. Otherwise, download here.

WordBay 0.99 - now with geotargetting!

Thanks to the help of Jez Hopkins, who kindly supplied the essential bit of code, WordBay now offers geotargetting - a much-requested option!
So […]

PepperJam is a no-go

Quite a few people have asked me recently whether WordBay supports eBay affiliates who are going through PepperJam - presumably they are worried about the recent cull of eBay “partners” and want the protection of another network. The short answer is no, not for the foreseeable future. The reasons being:
1) I have no idea whether […]

Bug warning: Please specify a query! (9003)

FULLY RESOLVED: I believe that WordBay v0.99 now resolves this issue - please let me know if you experience otherwise.
Just a heads-up about a possible bug in WordBay I am trying to get to the bottom of. It seems to be a new development and relates to complex queries with operators, like:
“acoustic guitar” (gibson,fender,ovation,yamaha,martin,ibanez,gretsch) -(semi)

Post-holiday update

I just want to apologise to all those who posted questions about WordBay during August and haven’t had their comments answered or even published. I have been on holiday and since WordBay is just a hobby of mine there was no way to keep up with things (my mobile phone won’t run the WordPress backend, […]
