Hi all,
The Daily Deals program in the UK and the similar WOW! Angebote program in Germany have recently moved from featuring one deal a day to two and to celebrate this we now have creatives available for both of these countries in a number of different sizes.
Every day eBay.de and eBay.co.uk feature two items from some of the sites’ most trusted sellers. The products featured are deeply discounted, offer free delivery and PayPal Buyer Protection. There are only limited quantities of these fixed-price items, and at such great prices, combined with the great marketing that we’re seeing from our affiliates, they don’t tend to last too long! Products offered are from a wide variety of categories including electronics, appliances, sporting goods, clothing and more. The deals are updated daily at 8 am local time. For those affiliates already promoting these items, we have seen conversion rates on these items up to 5 times that of standard eBay listings, which shows how popular these items are. You can take a look yourself at the fantastic deals being featured today at http://deals.ebay.de and http://deals.ebay.co.uk/. You can also subscribe to the deals RSS feed in both the UK and Germany to stay on top of the items being promoted.
To showcase or promote the Daily Deals or WOW! Angebote, there are several ways to integrate them into your site, including dynamic flash banners and XML Data Feeds. The Flash banners use JavaScript code and you’ll notice that the banner will rotate between the two deals. They also have the European site look and feel, so they look slightly different from the US banners. To find them, go to the Tools tab in the eBay Partner Network interface and select Creatives, then search by the tool id, which are shown in the table below.
| Size | UK | Germany |
| 160×600 | 707534771925570 | |
| 728×90 | 707534771925573 | |
| 300×250 | 707534771925571 | |
| 120×600 | 710534811925561 | 707534771925569 |
| 468×60 | 707534771925572 |
The UK XML Data Feed can be found at http://deals.ebay.co.uk/DailyDeals-im.xml and the German one at http://deals.ebay.de/DailyDeals-im.xml
Thanks for promoting the eBay Deals and maybe you can even pick up a bargain for yourself at the same time!

On the ePN forum, I just posted some observations I made while updating my code to parse the new XML feeds. If anyone’s about to make the same changes on their sites, have a peek on the forum for tips/info.

it’s unclear how to get these, if you try to get them the same place as the US ones it says “not available”. Not terribly helpful, i have to say.
Hello tigherrdk,
You can find these banners by doing the following:
- Log-in to your eBay Partner Network Account
- Under the “Tools” section click “Creatives Generator”
- On the left hand side you are able to enter the specific Tool IDs given in the post above (for example: 710534811925562)
Best,

That’s all very well, but can we have the daily deals thing added as an option in the RSS feed generator as well?
That way, sites based on wordpress and other cm systems can simply generate posts from the feed, automatically… Pretty please?
It would be useful to have these banners geo targetted
