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, […]

Rats: thanks to Chuck who noticed a problem with this new version which rather spoils the whole thing. If you use automatic update from the Wordpress backend then it DELETES the contents of the ‘wordbay’ directory first, which is a really annoying behaviour since that of course will delete the WordBay.css file, which is what […]

I have recently been taking one of my all-too-regular breaks from developing WordBay, and indeed from any major affiliate marketing efforts. I guess I am a dabbler at heart, plus a April plunge in EPN earnings really demotivated me too. Seems to have picked up again now, so perhaps it was an initial reaction to […]

Announcing a new version of WordBay with a feature which quite a few people asked for - namely, the option to specify seller IDs and only list items from particular seller/s. I personally have not yet had any need of this, but I guess some of you are promoting particular sellers.
Just go in the backend […]

I need to point out something that I have only recently discovered. If you have noticed that the keywords you are using to produce WordBay eBay listings are giving you different results to when you type them direct into eBay search, there is a reason, and right now, if it’s what I think it is, […]

I have finally bitten the bullet and put out version 1.0 of WordBay. Partly I just ran out of version numbers (if you ever looked for some logic in them, don’t, there ain’t none), partly I feel it is high time a respectable plugin like WordBay got a respectable version number.
WordBay now has a very […]
