Nothing is Displaying, What’s Wrong?
-

-
How Often Does Auction Nudge Update?
-
To reduce server load, Auction Nudge does not update every time it is loaded on your site. The Your eBay Listings tool updates every 15 minutes.
-
How Is Such an Awesome Tool Free?
-
Auction Nudge funds itself through referral commissions from eBay. As a member of the eBay Partner Network, Auction Nudge may receive anonymous referral commissions from eBay if a successful transaction occurs after clicking a link to eBay, at no cost to the user.
This means Auction Nudge is free to use and there are no ‘pay to unlock’ restrictions.
-
How Can I Modify the Appearance of Auction Nudge?
-
Please see the Using the Plugin page of the Auction Nudge website.
-
Where Can I Find More Help?
-
The following links should help with most questions and issues:
- The WordPress Help page.
- The Full Auction Nudge Help section.
- The Plugin Support forum on www.remarpro.com.
-
Can I Remove The Advertising Disclosure?
-
No. The advertising disclosure is a requirement of the eBay Partner Network and is a condition of use for Auction Nudge.
This means that if you are not happy with the Advertising Disclosure, then Auction Nudge is not the free tool for you.
Attempting to hide, obscure or modifying the disclosure puts the service at risk for all users. Therefore, Auction Nudge reserves the right to block any user who attempts to do so.
-
What happened to the Your eBay Profile and Your eBay Feedback tools?
-
These tools are being retired as of October 2024. Unfortunately, eBay has scheduled the data source for these tools to be decommissioned in February 2025. With no alternative available, it will no longer be possible to provide these tools.
The tools will continue to function as normal until the Shopping API is decommissioned, when the tools will cease to function and no content will be displayed on the page.
The Your eBay Listings tool has already been migrated to the new Browse API and will continue to be supported ??

This is a major update to the plugin.

- Default eBay Site – You can now specify a default eBay site on the Settings page, to save you from re-entering them on each page, post or widget where you want to use Auction Nudge.
- AdBlock Warning – If an ad blocker is detected (which may prevent Auction Nudge from loading) a warning is displayed on relevant admin pages.
Updated
- Keyword Filter – The “keyword” filter for the Your eBay Listings tool has been rewritten to allow for additional search operators, making this feature much more powerful.
