OOPS! I see now that I just didn’t do the widget creation correctly. Got that done and the widget let me place it on a lens. Confusion is often a state of mind with me. LOL!

Whoa, I’m really new to this lens building stuff and have a very basic question: Once I get the URL creating the ebay widget — what do I do with it?

In other words, which Squidoo module do I use to display it? Does it go in the RSS module? The Links module? Or something else that I’m not understanding.

Thanks!

Love the widgets, especially new ones because using same-old-same-old stuff Squidoo offers is getting pretty boring… And if you keep adding one new widget per day, I’ll be your fan for the rest of my life…

Jim, I believe you have an option to include an email address when creating the widget, this will then allow you to login and edit the widget, though until I do this I’m not sure how this works!

Captain, Awesome widgets!!! Am loving the new ebay togo one! Anyidea if it will be possible to include a custom id to this in future? I’d like to be able to track sales and also if I could use a Custom ID I could then use my squidoo details and share, track and receive earnings via squidoo! I imagine this is likely to depend on ebay polishing up the beta version, so if you are able to give them feedback to be able to include that as well as asking if we can get more search options too.
Thanks again!

Hey Captain. This is pretty cool. It seems as though once you have the widget on a lens it cannot be edited. Say if you want to tweak the search term/keyword a little. I have to delete it and start from scratch to do that. Is that right?

I see what I was doing. I didn’t see the arrow offering you more choices, which is where the Squidoo icon is, way down at the bottom. Thanks, Cap.

Nancy,

when you click the ‘get and share’ and choose the squidoo icon, what are you seeing? You can also try to click on the asterisk next to the ‘get and share’ words. The asterisk should let you change the settings.

Moby, If i remember correctly it can take up to a few business days. When I first signed up it was really quick though. If you don’t see an e-mail by wednesday or so it might be worth filing a help ticket.

Because I like the idea of the eBay widget a lot, I signed up for an EPN id this morning – about 7-8 hours ago now. Does anyone know how long it takes eBay to approve an application?

[When you opt to place the widget on a lens, the widget asks you for a search term and an EPN id. the EPN id ties sales from the widget to your account.]

Hey, Captain, this is so great. But mine doesn’t ask for a search term or EPN ID. Could it be the browser?
