Now I get what phpBay is! I’ve been struggling with a couple of sites and wondering about switching to WordPress and integrating eBay listings. This article has helped me understand what it is and which websites it will work best with. Thanks Mark and Rochelle!

@ Jack,

I, too, have used the WordBay plugin. It was pretty simple to use, and I liked that aspect of it. It’s perfect for when you only plan on adding a few Amazon results to a blog. I do find, though, that it can be picky about what terms are entered, and I can’t always add the medium or large images (I don’t know why this is).

phpBay Pro, on the other hand, is much easier to use if you plan on adding a lot of Amazon results. It is easier to get the Amazon results you want from phpBay Pro (at least, this is true for me).

@ Jack –

I have used the WordBay plugin plus a few others on the market. They all definitely have a place…

With WordBay – you use a simple search string to query the eBay search API… and results are based on your search string.

With phpBay, you have the ability at the post level, to target countries, specific sellers, specific categories etc. So it just gives you more control over what appears on each post, versus storewide.

Have you used the free Wordbay plugin? How does it compare to phpbay?

thanks

@ Justin –

Thanks for the comment man! Good to see you here… I have switched from one to the other, back and forth, over and over again!!

For some sites – I am using 100% bans, others… 100% phpbay. Both have their place, and when done right, BANS does just as good, but it is a bit more work for sure.

I started using phpbay recently and like it a lot more than BANS, which doesn’t perform well in Google these days
