=Broken & Unmaintained= Please consider this code to be an "example of concept," but no longer working. =eBay GetSingleItem API call in a WordPress short code= This plugin is obviously part of what could be a much larger plugin that implements parts of the eBay API for WordPress. All I require is to display basic auction data in a <div>, so that is all this plugin does. ==Install==

• create and cd into WEBROOT/wp-content/plugins/ebayGetSingleItem/
• Download the zip ** $wget https://github.com/moens/eBay-GetSingleItem-WordPress-Plugin/zipball/master
• unzip the goodness
• activate plugin from wp admin interface

==Config== Use the wp-admin > Settings > eBay GetSingleItem section to set your eBay appid.

You need an eBay appid, if you don't have one:

• sign up here: https://www.x.com/developers/ebay
• login
• create production keys
• copy / paste the appid into the above Settings location

==Usage==

• Create a WP post
• Locate the eBay auction you wish to include
• Find and copy the "Item Number" in the top right of the Description Tab
• Insert a short code, [eBayItem]130750248056[/eBayItem] or [eBayItem id="123412341234"] in your post.
• Modify the css & class.getSingleItemView.php file to finesse style and template

==Please Steal This Code== I have not listed this in the normal WP plugins directory because it is unlikely that I will maintain it regularly enough (plus, I hate svn... why can't the WP plugin repo pull from GitHub? Yeah, I could do this --> [http://teleogistic.net/2011/05/revisiting-git-github-and-the-wordpress-org-plugin-repository/ hacker-er than thou]). [Updated Sept 4, 2012]Look what beuatiful thing I just ran across: [https://github.com/franz-josef-kaiser/WordPress-GitHub-Plugin-Updater github wp plugin updater], thanks, Franz! Anyway... if this looks like a good basis for a plugin that you will maintain, please fork it, upload it on wp.org and maintian it. I might even use your version. Thanks!
