If you are unfamiliar with Auction Thumbs and want to learn more about it, be sure to read the Overview first.
Configuring the Default Search Criteria
Auction Thumbs has been configured on this blog to display eBay auction listings by searching the “Jewelry & Watches->Watches->Wristwatches” subcategory with keyword “dive” by default.
We can override this category/keyword combination on each blog post individually to suit the content of each post. However, we are leaving this post with the defaults.
Control The Location Within The Post
Although we can configure Auction Thumbs to display the eBay listings at the top of the post content, we have opted for the “after post content” configuration here.
You control the size of the thumbnail images and quantity of the listings to display via the Auction Thumbs administrative screens.
More Sorting and Filtering Options
The listings that are displayed have been configured to sort by “Ending Soonest” and to include only those watches that exceed a minimum price of $30. We have used the filter options to display only Auction, Fixed Price, and Store Inventory format listings.
The User Experience
Clicking on the right arrow in the Auction Thumbs window below will cause a smooth scroll action to slide to a second and subsequent page of listings. With Auction Thumbs you can display an entire page worth of products in a single, scrollable row.
