Decent classified ads script with API?

by markowe

I have a site that does well from listing used items from eBay. I would like to add value to it by adding a classified ads section (probably paying, to cut down on spam), so really want a script that is light on the front end, i.e. has some sort of API so I can integrate it into my existing (PHP/Smarty-based) template by plugging in keywords etc. and can handle payments, expiry etc.

I know there are a fair few classified ads scripts out there, but does anyone have experience of one which would fit my description above? If it's free/open source, all the better

    It probably wouldn't take to much effort to install one of those existing scripts in a subfolder, and then just pull the 'live' ads out by keyword, location, whatever and display them where you want.

    You get the best of both worlds. 1.) Your new marketplace. 2.) Put the ads wherever you want. 3.) finding a script with an api built in not required.

      Thanks, I will look into the possibility too!

      Who says you can't earn money as an eBay affiliate any more? My stats say otherwise
