Operation Step 1:

Enter your eBay campaign ID into the correct fields in the Options page.

Operation Step 2:

Go to your forum list and add "ebayparserall" to the end of the URL in your browser. For example:

Examples:
Code:
Full Friendly URLs
http://www.domain.com/ebayparserall
http://www.domain.com/forums/ebayparserall

non-Full Friendly URLs
http://www.domain.com/index.php?ebayparserall
http://www.domain.com/forums/index.php?ebayparserall
Operation Step 3:

Click the "Update posts" link.

At this point you will get a confirmation message.

Click the back button on your browser.

Reload the page. You will now see the next post number which contains an unconverted Ebay link.

Once you have verified the add-on is working correctly, you can change the Limit in the Options page to a higher number like 500. Reload the page. Now you will see 500 posts ready to be converted. You can once again click the "Update posts" link and 500 posts will be converted. You can make the limit number as high as you want.

Note

If for any reason the same post number continues to show, this means the add-on was not able to convert the link. There can be several reasons for example:

1. There is no affiliate number entered into the Options page for that country.
2. The URL is not proper.

Questions and Answers:
