YSPComplete! is a very simple WordPress Plugin.

You specify a site’s url, a seller’s username, a number of items to display, and optinal keywords to filter the items.

  2. From the WordPress admin backend, Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu.
  3. From the WordPress admin backend, in the Widgets menu, drag-and-drop the widget to your sidebar.  You can place it in any position you like.
  4. Specify the settings for the widget: Title, Site URL, Username, Number of Items, and Keywords. For the keywords, you can specify:
    • a single word, like “toyota”.  This will fetch items with the word “toyota”.
    • a pipe-separated list of the above. For example, if you specify “toyota|nissan|jeep|2012”, then it will fetch items with either “toyota” or “nissan” or “jeep” or “2012”.

You can put anything but in general it would be the seller’s username and auction site’s name,

such as something like this for example:
