eBay and Amazon items did not show

Hello,

Nice script,I have the initial test with it in my site (it is still in demo mode,not configured yet template text etc.)

I got the problem,eBay item do not show at all,though by my understanding

I have configured OK my details following the instructions. Is this somekind of my server based problem or what is gone wrong?

Could you check out my initial demo site here: http://www.multihb.us/nichestore

Best regards!

It's probably your ebay ID.  First make sure there is no space before or after it from you copied and pasted.  Second - did you get an eBay developer account?  And did you generate a production rest token?  How many digits is the eBay rest token you're using in the test?

I have ebay developer id and my generated rest token has 46 characters

no spaces in wrong places (ids)

but does not work..

Should those original id's work? in config.php file, I also tested with them and same results,does not work..

Strange is't ?

check your rest token again.  You said yours was 46 characters, but mine is 48.  Also is your EPN campaign ID in there, affiliate network set to 9, and API version set to 497?

Hi again,

I have tried everything,all details are absolutely OK

but it does not work..?

What about is it possible this problem has something to do with .htaccess file

if server does not allow those functions..?what it needs to start working..

Hello JT,

I don't know if my earlier msgs is shown,but if you have read them,please tell me your opinions

if that should be server based problem because all my details in config.php are correct also that

rest token file,I got it with 46 characters (I have checked it several times and it is correct)

This script is very intresting and I'd like to get it working..though I use also BayRSS in my blogs.

Best regards!

check whether your server is using PHP4 or PHP 5 and set the config variable appropriately.  Also check that your server is running mod_rewrite and CURL - basically if you're running Wordpress or BANS fine that should be enough.

does your .htaccess look like this?



Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]


send a copy of this .htaccess file to your web host and ask them if there would be any problems using this on their server - would it work right.  By the way - what webhost are you using?

Thanks for the advice,

I have checked all my webserver based details now,but all them are OK,and script should work.

I am thinking now maybe I am missing something regarding eBay partner site and ebay developing

site. I am approved in both those sites and got the ID's and camp numbers etc.

Also I have generated that token and (needed rest token) in development site with my keyset for production.

But due to some mysterious reason that combination does not work for me,and I don't know why..?

Now I ask,how this ebay partner site's camp id is implemented with that ebay development ID

iand generated rest token,how they work together,I cannot see any associated factor with them

how does ebay development system recognize I am approved ebay partners member and ebay affiliate?

That is something that I don't understand..

Is there some point I have not noticed in ebay development site,that indicate I am affiliated with ebay? If so maybe I have missed it..and that's the reason script does not work as it should..

Best regards!

go to “my account” -> “application keys” -> “production keys” and then click on “key set 1″.  You should have listed a “DevID”, “AppID”, and “CertID”.  Then click on “Generate User Token” in the bottom right of that block, and what you'll get is the “Rest token” you need to use.

let's look at that entire eBay section of the config file…

// eBay Info (developers.ebay.com)
$config['ebay']['rest_token']         = 'rest-token-goes-here';
$config['ebay']['user_id']         = 'developer.ebay.com id goes here, NOT EPN id';
$config['ebay']['total_items']         = 10;
$config['ebay']['cj_publisher_id']    = 'your-epn-id'; // EPN Campaign ID
$config['ebay']['cj_sid']         = 'your-made-up-tracking-code';
$config['ebay']['aff_network']         = 9; // EPN
$config['ebay']['site_id']         = 1; // US
$config['ebay']['api_version']        = '497'; // API version

that's it!  Make sure all your values are filled in right…

Sorry JT,

It does not work what ever I do,I have done exactly so which you said in that last response,

as  $config['ebay']['user_id']   I have used my ebay developer username (is that correct? or is it something else?)

also tried my real ebay user name in this place,but with same results,it does not work

I have generated with my keyset1 that token and rest token,it always gives me 46 character rest token that i have used.

When starting to get token,it goes to ebay (seller,buyer signup and I have used my own ebay ID

for that,is that correct?)

All other configurations as you have adviced..but..it does not help..

Well,I don't know anymore what else I have to do,there seems not to be sense ,there must be something missing

but WHAT,that is mystery because I have done all as adviced.

Best regards!

Aatos

Ps. With your details(in the script existing,I tested and surprise,it worked..)

so what should be the point why it does not work with my details..

My eBay partner campaign numbers work,I have tested them with lapi links.

they are OK. So it must be something in eBay development details..

Zip up your niche site, fill out my contact form on this site and attach it - send it to me.  I'll look it over and see if I can figure out what you're doing wrong.

JT, I have the same problem as Aatos and Multihb. Did you guys get it to work? If so, how did you fix it? fyi…, it works with your eBay Developer credentials but not mine.

Thanks.

I don't know if either one resolved it - they never said.  Out of thosands of downloads they were the only two that ever had problem.  If you checked everything in this thread, all I can say is use my contact form to email me your version and I'll take a look at it.

Nevermind…I figured it out. It worked when I entered my eBay ID instead of my eBay Developer ID.

Hello JT and dday,

I did not get it working,I mean eBay part of it,Amazon works but by some mysterious reason ebay does not.

Anyway I am interested to get it working especially to my special niche area topic Ham-Radio

dday,You said you got it figured out,did you mean you put your ebay buyer/seller id

instead ebay developer id in configuration?

If I remember right I already tried it but with not success..

By the way,is it needed to have store active in eBay to get this working? at the moment I have not, I am standing now as a buyer there,but been since 2002 and with 100% feedback..lol.

Best regards!

Hello again,

I played somtime with config.php and tried some options

and I got it working finally. Don't know exactly what was the problem,but I put my regular ebay id instead developer id in config.php and tried some times with php 4 and php 5 version so I got error message where was the whole link line from ebay and I found there was one extra space in line. I figured too I have PHP 4 in my site.

I tried the link directly in browsers line and I got correct xml file browsed in text mode in browsers window. So I figured it might work and my rest token is OK. (though it has only 46 characters instead 48 as in JT's)

I removed that extra space from my config.php file and put regular ebay id instead developer id and voila! it works. Thanks JT and dday for all the help Laughing

Seems config.php is critical and not allow a single error even if it is space..

Best regards!

Unfortunately, I'm having a similar issue Cry  I changed my htaccess so my site would show up.  However, ebay and amazon listings are empty.  I tried using the strategies recommended earlier, but still no cigar!  I can understand why my ebay listings are not showing since it's more difficult to input.. but I wonder why my amazon listings are empty.  Do you think it could be because of my webhost   1and1?

Regards,

Ron

are you amazon listings empty, or just no reviews?  Try a page with really common keywords like “ipod” and see what you get.  I know that for some of my pages the keyword doesn't match anything at amazon - or it will match products, but ones that have no reviews to bring up at all…
