Thoughts on BANS, alternatives etc.

[Archangel]

I was wondering if anyone could comment on this dilemma of mine: I need a script that pulls eBay products & puts them on my site. I've heard of good/bad things about BANS and I was thinking: Would you recommend BANS? Is it a SEO-killer? Do you know of any similar scripts (like http://www.phpbay.com/ ) that'll do the job? And what affiliates work with eBay now? I heard that they dropped CJ so what's left? Your thoughts are appreciated

BANS have good and bad feedback all across the board. Most people used BANS were happy until they were removed from google for having the same content or the same sort of site.

As long as you edit it and make sure you've got unique content, BANS should work fine for you. :]

They rolled their own program called Ebay Partner Network to replace cj. I think any of the scripts work IF you are willing to add some reasonable content.

Thanks to you both:

Does anyone use http://www.phpbay.com/ ? Is it any better than BANS in your experience? What is the license for the former?

I haven't used it and to be completely honest, as long as you've got unique content, i'd test them both.
