Overview
eBay Factory Module comes as a help for the targeted sites which are running a specified bussiness. This way the administrator can set up certain search-keywords in order to display in a module only certain eBay auctions for his visitors. The module works with:
- ebay International (.com)
- ebay United Kingdom (.co.uk)
- ebay Canada (.ca)
- ebay Australia (.co.au)
- ebay Deutschland (.de)
- ebay France (.fr)
The search can be limited by entering multiple keywords and if the area of interest is bigger then the administrator can publish another module with a different keyword since multiple instances are supported. There is also the posibility to display certain items belonging to a single seller (user) using the seller id and a keyword.
From the backend the auctions can be ordered by "newly listed" and "ending soon". Also the number of auctions, title lenght, show/hide images and date format can be configured. Pagination permits also to set only a number of items per page, from the total number of results, which is also configurable.
The display can be configured through CSS in order to match any existing template and there is also a cache option.

Good application, but needs ebay Motors selection. Good idea to have a more refined keyword tool too. But, we still like the application.

Really great module!
This is one what You need to get results from eBay for Your web, as photostore, advertising photo web or else.
It is simple and really powerful!
However for future roadmap
1) is great to add in backend selecting eBay category. Not hard work, but if I find Schneider photographics lense or camera body why display me Romy Schneider DVD ?
2) Is great to indicate that module working. I think AJAX may be needed for this.
One module in a page is working great and fast up to 30 or 40 items,
but if i try to use this really great module for different product, loading
bar in browser are SO SLOVLY....
The main delay is from eBay server answer time, not inside this module. But user not see anything within 60secs or longer.
May be simple progresbar (just animated pisture) is resolving problem: all other modules are loaded, user read other info and do not waiting. And after short delay info is on screen. Really good for user.
Thanks !

Love the module, but a few days ago it stopped displaying items on our site, so hopefully this is a known issue.
