What do you mean by verify ?

You can't add or alter anything on your shop page except the title or colours, so there's no where to put the code snipped they use. I've not investigated other ways of connecting to analytics, I believe Google does supply some, but I'd expect they all require update capabilities to a page you can't access.

All sounds a bit complicated to me! lol Havent heard of Google Analytics either.

I've successfully implemented google analytics for my website. As for Ebid I cannot see that it's possible as you need to add the following tracking code for google to communicate with -

Basic installation - Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there.

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>

Doesn't appear there is anywhere on Ebid for this code to be pasted to as yet...

No eBid doesn't support it but it's a great idea for ebid to implement it. Considering good relation between Da Boyz with Google, it shouldn't be a problem. eCrater provides Google Analytics for its accounts so why not ebid?

@Aftech.

Yes that would be great
I think Bonanza offers it as well (but you have to pay to get it)

We should have put it on Bykimbo's coming ToDo list along with an API.

Ooh, an opportunity to say that's not forgotten or lost, just not brought on holiday with me! I'll pick it up again when I'm back in the rut.

So where are you Bykimbo ?
South of France ?
Bahamas?
Maldives?

Somewhere sunny ?

Yes add it to the list and an API and a Markdown manager. (unless they are already on the list)

The list was closed when I announced it closed, I'm afraid. Only fair. It's only a poxy user poll, let's not get too stressed anyway.
