phpBay Pro is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to list eBay auctions directly into a post or page. It is extremely simple to use. I'm going to point you to a phpBay Pro example site as well as provide you with a phpBay pro coupon which will allow you to get 20% off the price. To jump to the coupon code just scroll to the bottom or top of this post.
Features of phpBay Pro
Even though phpBay Pro is very easy to setup and use it does have many powerful features. I won't get into all of them in this post but here are a few...phpBay offers SEO benefits, eBay category targeting, keyword targeting and with a few quick minor enhancements you can get keyword tracking and geo targeting.
phpBay Pro Example
You can specify several parameters for the auctions but all that is required is a keyword (or keywords).
If you want to fully customize the listing you can also specify the number of items to display, the category number as found on eBay, exclusion (or negative) keywords, a postal code to show local auctions, a seller ID for a particular seller, a min price, a max price, a min and max bid, whether the auction should have a BIN price, an alpha-ID for tracking purposes which can be hard coded globally or by post or set with a variable, how to sort the auctions, a specific country, the number of columns and whether to display only items with free shipping.
As stated, the above are optional parameters. Most can also be set globally.
Here's a quick example of eBay auctions inserted into a post. I specified the keyword "affiliate" for the auctions. A couple of other non-default options were set globally, like including only auctions with photos for example. EDIT: A new feature in the latest version is to turn off "paging" at the post level. I did that in this example as well, plus I set it to just one column.
Notice that when hovering over an auction link it appears as though it is a page on this blog that you will be brought to. That's the SEO benefits of phpBay at work. These pages can be indexed. Also, if you check the properties of the images, they also show as being local when in fact they aren't.
