eBay Item Sold ePN Report Tracker Version 2
The ePN Report Tracker allows you to generate a report that shows you what items were bought and bid on via your eBay ePN affiliate campaigns, with clickable links to the items on eBay. You can use the script here on this site, or download it and use it on your own server.
Terms of Use
You may use the ePN Report Tracker here on this site as often as you wish. We do not save or record your transaction data at all, and if you click the link on the report page "Kill session, destroy data" the transaction report file that you uploaded is immediately deleted.
If you wish to download the script and use it on your own server, you may do so, but you may not sell or redistribute the script. If you want to recommend this script to others, please refer them to this site to obtain their own copy of this script. You may use the script on your own server for as long as you want, but you may not remove the active links to ISoldWhat.com or to TropicalWebWorks.com, or the PayPal Donate button.
Screenshots and Server Requirements
The report generated by the script creates clickable links of the item ID to the actual item listing on eBay. If you select the options to show additional item info and thumbnail pics, you will get a report like the image above, which also shows a thumbnail image of the item, how many bids it had, the seller, category number, and category name. This requires an API call to eBay "behind the scenes." When you use the ePN Report Tracker on ISoldWhat.com, you will always have access to the complete report, as we use our own AppID.
If you use the script on your own server, you must obtain a developer's AppID from eBay (at no cost) and enter that AppID in the script in order to get the additional info and pics. Also, your server must be running at least php version 5, and must have the simplexml_load_file php function available. Without the AppID and the php function, you can still run the script and get clickable links to the items on eBay, as seen in the screenshot below.

Additional Notes:
The transaction download reports from ePN apparently reflect corrected transaction information, and may not match your online reports exactly.
Instructions for Installing on Your Own Server
Download the file, unzip it, and upload it your server. Then go to the script in your browser: http://www.yoursite.com/epn.php
To get the additional item info, you must get your own AppID from eBay and enter it on line 5 of the file you downloaded. Until you enter your APP ID, you can get clickable links to the items on eBay, but you cannot get the additional item info and pics to display.
