After I got too many emails because the Ebay Sales Lister running on this blog was obviously a different version than the one I had published on wordpress.org I had to do a new release. It was a bit of a spontaneous release so expect bugs.

The major change in this version is that I am now using the ebay API to get the auctions for the respective seller set in the options. That will hopefully make the plugin perform better. It definitely has the charm that you can now also display thumbnails with the output.

It seems like after converting the display of the ebay auctions to be purely styled by CSS, I have some more troubles with themes that don’t support CSS floats so well, at least the first comments indicate that. Will see what I can do but I believe it is rather a problem of the themes.

So hopefully you like this version. Feedback and comments are as always appreciated.
Let’s see what the downloads will do the next days :)

Here are the new features of the new version:

2009-04-28 / Version 0.6 / New Features
* all auction information now is retrieved by using the ebay API now (should be faster)
* auction thumbnails now can be displayed together with the auction information
* added option to turn thumbnail display on/off
* added thumbnail placeholder for auctions that don’t have an image
* added CSS class ebay_no_sales that can be used for styling the text that is displayed when the user has no actions
* reimplemented the whole CSS styling of the output and externalized the style to css/style.css
* externalized language strings to cfg/languages.ini

* added all ebay websites to the configuration screen (Canada, Australia, …)
* added language support for Bulgarian (thx to Goga)
* added language support for Polish (thx to Wojtek)
* added language support for Russian (thx to Leo)
* added a function that let’s you display all ebay auctions on a page. To do so just include listEbaySales(”all”) in any page.
