Yes, Build A Niche Store was updated on the 1st April 2008 to support the new eBay Partner Network.

Build A Niche Store currently supports eBay Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Spain, France, India, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, United Kingdom and the United States meaning that you can build your own affiliate stores made up of products listed for sale in any one of these twelve marketplaces.

Build A Niche Store revolves around eBay's hierarchical category structure. Once you have chosen the niche (category) you want to build your store around you simply enter that category number into the relevant part of your store setup area.

For example, if you wanted to build a US motorcycle store you would enter the category number 6024 and Build A Niche Store will automatically create your new affiliate website which contains all of the motorcycles listed in that eBay category plus the associated sub-category navigation.

Lets say that you wanted to promote a particular brand of golf clubs, for example Ping, rather than all golf clubs from your eBay affiliate store. eBay does not have a "Ping Golf Clubs" category so you cannot choose this in the setup area.

However, what you can do is choose the category which the products you want to target are located in...in this case "Golf Clubs" which is category number 115280...and then replace the automatically generated navigation with your own custom navigation links for Ping G2 and Ping G5 which will open up access to only those items which are listed for sale in the golf clubs category.

By doing this you can go way beyond the immediate choice of 80,000+ categories and go as deep as you want into eBay to meet the demand of your particular niche. You can see that these two stores: Mopeds and Super 7s have replaced the standard navigation their category choice would have generated with a custom one that opens up access to those products inside that category which they want to include in their store.

The Build A Niche Store user manual has a section on how to do this and the members forum also contains several posts which cover it in more depth.

You need to be an eBay affiliate registered through the eBay Partner Network. You will also need Linux/Unix hosting with MySQL database access (we recommend HostGator) and you will need your own domain name. Our user manual explains all of this in more depth and if you are new to building websites it will walk you through registering your first domain name and setting up your hosting account.

Once you have familiarized yourself with the software, installing and then building a basic store will not take you longer than 10 minutes.
