Please download the new version of WordBay via your admin dashboard or the link on the site sidebar. This update is critical if you have geotargetting switched OFF! There were two major areas of fixes:
RSS-related “fixes”
After continued discussions about the possibility of WordBay somehow not generating RSS feeds properly and possibly accounting for a reduction […]

Please make sure you get v1.22 if you have not already (use download link on left). I made a “small” ommission in v1.21 which meant that Sign up and “Search eBay” links were not forwarding properly (well, not at all in fact). This is fixed now.
Sorry these updates are so haphazard - it’s what happens […]

A thousand apologies to anyone who happened to download my initial 1.21 version and got their CSS file chewed - I somehow managed to delete a vital line of code, arrrghhh! Should be fixed now. Sorry, sorry, sorry! If it’s any consolation I did the same to two of my sites before realising…
After a flurry […]

There is some concern from users about the possibility that WordBay IS affected by the recent Great RSS Change, despite my relative confidence that it was not. This includes Dennis’ report that earnings from specifically WordBay campaigns are down as compared to others scripts. Of course, if there is an issue I want to resolve […]

As promised I have put some work into WordBay today (more than I have in a loooong time) and come up with version 1.20 (download from the link on the left). Changes:
- corrected the bug where the “Click for details” icon was taking visitors to an eBay sign-in page instead of to the item clicked […]

Thanks to all the users who have flagged up problems with WordBay (and other eBay RSS-based software) caused by changes to the eBay RSS feed. I am sorry I did not get to grips with this sooner - it seemed to me initially that the problems were not affecting WordBay, but on further investigation there […]

There has been quite a hubbub around the net concerning some kind of change to the eBay RSS feed that WordBay is based on. In particular you can read the thread on the EPN forum here. It seems that many product links were ending up at some kind of “not found” page and obviously this […]

Your response to this will no doubt depend largely on how your earnings have been affected by EPN’s new QCP system, which officially came on line at the beginning of October. I assume you are up-to-date with these changes - if not, then wander over to the official EPN forum to see what all the […]

If you are an eBay Partner Network member then you will probably have received an email from EPN announcing the following,
“…from today, 1st September, four new programs have opened on eBay Partner Network for the eBay sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland.”
This should be good news, both for people wanting to target these countries, […]

OK, sorry to all of you (and thanks for letting me know) who got version 1.1 of WordBay only to discover that it did not work as advertised, i.e. did not preserve your lovingly-crafted WordBay.css file. This happened due to an oversight on my part: when using the Wordpress automatic plugin update in the backend, […]
