Usage

Utilize either easy-to-use Blocks in the Block Editor or visual editors for Classic Editor shortcodes, no need for you to type any shortcodes manually.

The key blocks / shortcodes you can add to your pages are:

eBay Search

Presents a list of eBay items, based on given search criteria. You can narrow down items to display by entering eBay search query, an eBay category, eBay seller(s) or min/max prices.

The display of the results can be tailored into a grid with dimensions of your choosing and optionally as a slideshow.

If any parameters are left blank, defaults from the plugin setting will be used.

eBay Seller Feedback

Present the feedback rating and comments from your eBay seller account or shop, with links to it. A great way to show your reputation on your company website.

eBay Item

Present details of a single eBay item listing. Simply enter the eBay item ID of the product.

eBay RSS Feed

Present a list of eBay items from an RSS Feed as generated from RSS Ground or Auction Request.

Results can be presented in a grid with dimensions of your choosing and optionally as a slideshow.

Use this to migrate your existing RSS feeds until you can replace them with the more feature-rich eBay search block / shortcode.

Shortcodes

For reference, if you wish to manually enter shortcodes in the Classic Editor text view, you can find the syntax and details of shortcode parameters supported here.

Fixed Search Widget

This widget presents an eBay search similar to the eBay Search shortcode and will show the results from a fixed eBay search query.

Dynamic Search Widget

This widget presents an eBay search similar to the Fixed Search Width widget, however, the search query is dynamically driven by the current page displayed.
For pages and posts, either custom metadata can drive the query, or the title is used as the search query.
Custom meta key you can use are: ‘ebay-query’, ‘ebay-category’, ‘ebay-seller’, ‘ebay-minprice’, ‘ebay-maxprice’, ‘ebay-minbids’ and ‘ebay-maxbids’.
When browsing categories or tags, the category or tag is used as the eBay query.
As a fallback, a default query can be specified in the widget settings for other pages.

Use this widget to display eBay items related to the page visitors are reading. You can of course filter this by a given eBay category, seller, price, etc.

SmartLinks

Fast eBay Listings includes a SmartLinks tool to turn all other eBay links on your site into promotable affiliate links. When enabled, it will automatically convert all of your eBay links and connect them to your Campaign ID.

This is a great feature if your site already has many links to eBay that you wish to make affiliate links and thus earn on click-throughs via the eBay Partner Network.

SmartLinks will not update any existing affiliate eBay links, it will only update unaffiliated eBay links you may have on your site.

Affiliated links will be made ‘nofollow’ links and optionally, open in a new window/tab.
