About the program
WordBay is a simple but effective way to create a WordPress-powered site featuring eBay listings based on any keywords you choose! You can insert listings into your pages or posts and create an unlimited number of pages and subpages using the existing Wordpress CMS.
Click the image on the left to see my example site, Vintage Point, a niche site selling vintage and retro items. All you need to get going is:
- a standard Wordpress installation
- a free template (this one I have modified a little to suit the look of a shopfront)
- and the WordBay plugin of course.
Wordbay is easy to install - it works like any other Wordpress plugin - AND you can make money by configuring WordBay to insert your eBay Partner Network codes into the product links so you earn a commission every time anyone buys from or signs up to eBay through your site! It is fully updated to work with the eBay Partner Network (doesn’t work with CJ).
Best of all the program is FREE under GNU/GPL so you can do what you want with it. The only other thing I ask is that you consider leaving the opt-out impression-sharing code in there - this tags a small (user-definable) proportion of impressions with the author’s EPN code and is a way of saying, “Thanks Mark for such a handy, and valuable program” 
I must also emphasise that no claims or guarantees are made with regard to this software, it is used as-is, at you own risk and what support there is is provided only as a courtesy. If you want a fully-featured commercial package for creating eBay niche sites, you should probably go and buy BANS (Build a Niche Site)!

I am Mark Daniels and I am NOT a programmer - I do some other stuff I might tell you about some time, but webmastering is a little hobby of mine and after I made this program for my own use I realised I might as well make it available to others who will probably make better use of it than me!

Maybe something to do with .info domains?
Hi, I guess you meant to post this under my post about eBay sites being sandboxed! So I copied it to there.
I love your plugin thanks for your dedication to finding a solution.
I am wondering what I am doing wrong, when I validate my site, I get over 300 errors they all seem to be due to the ebay fee. I am including an example. Any idea how I can fix this?

If you meant to include an entity that starts with “&”, then you should terminate it with “;”. Another reason for this error message is that you inadvertently created an entity by failing to escape an “&” character just before this text.

This is generally the sign of an ampersand that was not properly escaped for inclusion in an attribute, in a href for example. You will need to escape all instances of ‘&’ into ‘&’.
# Error Line 130, Column 10150: reference to entity “buy” for which no system identifier could be generated.

This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an
